As much as I hate burning food for gas (and increasing produce costs on SO many types of food) - I’m guessing the free market can take care of it.

Obama took Iowa in 2008 and 2012.

Who gives two 0bamas what Iowans think?

You know I started as a Rand supporter, and am leaning towards Trump, like so many others now. But this is a freaking great thing that Ted did, and I respect the hell out of him for it.

Luckily, living in Washington I have many months till I vote ! Let the contest continue.

(he) “won the support of Iowa caucus goers”

Cruz won the support of about a third of Iowa caucus goers. That’s another way of saying he lost two-thirds.

“I’m guessing the free market can take care of it.”

And just where does the “free market” enter into this picture? Like all government “interventions in technology,” the road to ruin was paved with “good intentions,” but with poor assumptions, coupled with onerous regulations. And the kicker is that now “King Corn” has it’s own dedicated “government tit!”

Ted Cruz is owned by Goldman Sachs and the illuminatti. The X-Files is based on Ted Cruz. Big oil owns Ted Cruz and forced him to oppose corn! Ben Carson decided to go home to Florida because Ted Cruz gave him the evil eye! Ted Cruz is the Manchurian Candidate from Canada! Ted Cruz is an anagram for 666!

There, that should cover the bases.

Oh, please. This is the most ridiculous claim ever. And Trump, who I am supporting, this has to be his biggest fail ever. Is he REALLY that thin skinned? His concession speech was so gracious. Leave it at that dude, you don't nee to sweep.

It's like complaining about the refs after game 1 of the NBA finals. Stupid.

In the grand scheme of dirty tricks which inlcludes Karl Rove having phone calls go out saying that McCain had a black baby (implying illegitimate, factually, adopted) or someone dosing Eugene McCarthy with LSD in 1972 before his big winning speech -- this is the ultimate small potatoes.

NEWSFLASH: MR. BIG -- you are competing for the opportunity to run against Hillary. One of the dirtiest fighters in political history. The virtual Evander Holyfield of dirty political fighting. (Yes, there is a reason Tyson bit his ear off. Not that its an excuse, especially for a professional boxer, but it is understandable how frustrating to lose to a master of the game like that).

SUCK IT UP. Remember "Sore Loserman". American hates sore losers. Worst Trump moment of the campaign. By far.

Oh sheesh, Carson is just a drug addled hood, just ask the Trumpster. Why you so bent up over Carson anyway, Trump screwed him as best he could and obviously hates him.

Arn’t you as a loyal Trumpet required to hate him too?

You didn't even read the article before spamming it.

Trump opposes the "blend wall" - this angers the EPA (Big Government) and the Renewable Energy Industry that government protects (winners and losers) - that WE PAY FOR.

Go back and read it and learn something.

As of 2012 Iowa is a “proportional” state and no longer a ‘winner take all’.
Ted got one more delegate than Trumpenstein. You children of the night act like you won Powerball.
Try to act more like political neophyte Trump: like you’ve been here before.

Welcome me to the 21st century, Dracula.

I wonder if that would open up the ethanol to be made from other cheaper sources than corn? I understand the Feds require it be be corn stock.

I love deregulation, it works. Ordering government peons to invent things is a waste of time. You can only invent by thinking outside the box, government only boxes things in.

And speaking of “drug addled,” the drugs in Israel must be off the hook, because you certainly are!

The poster you responding to was using sarcasm on steroids...

It was pretty funny.

Read it again.
