The only “backup” you need is common sense. Rush says it all the time: when people give you money, they expect something in return. I’ve been in DC enough to see this in action.
I wrote Harry Reid’s biography, still working on getting him indicted, so I know corruption. But I notice you evaded the direct question, to show me an instance where lobbyists have benefited from a Cruz stance.
I can show you how Trump benefited by pandering to the ethanol lobby.
Let us face it; the data here cries out how much better both Trump & Cruz are, in representing what Primary voters desire, in comparison to all the other candidates.
In November we are all going to have to work together. It would really be advisable, if in supporting one or the other of the two, we did not snipe at the other. They represent two types--both Conservative; both pro traditional America--but giving voice to factions that approach politics somewhat differently. In short, they complement each other.
I do not want to sound sanctimonious. I am all for lusty campaign rhetoric; but the future--any future worth having--requires that we do not turn different approaches into irreconcilable conflict among those basically seeking an acceptable future.
