Cruz is about my age I want somebody older and bolder.

Trump is about my age and I want somebody younger and less cranky.


Well played - Funny, thank you for that.

Looks like conservative talk radio is pivoting to Cruz. Grab the popcorn!

I grew up on a farm and even I don’t like ethanol subsidies.

Despite my family benefiting from them, it is just wrong in principle. It is essentially welfare for farmers and big agribusiness.

Instead of giving a hand out from the fed gov, why not just lower everyone’s taxes and stop picking winners and losers via money laundering through the beltway.

Never forget this is .... like real estate. Layers in layers.
Trump is believably running interference for Hillary particularly if he should run 3rd party as a spoiler. The devil is in the details. Conservatives who think the policies are conservative for Trump... need to #1 READ, and #2 THINK.

This could be a miss-step, but don't think it is. It is grossly inconsistent and NOT short term trashing. This is Establishment RINO/DEMO crap. The worst part— if it isn't calculated and he thinks this— it is time for a stop in your tracks moment of deviation from "conservative" tough sounding Progressive... like Teddy Roosevelt- not principled conservativism. By and large the Progressive wing of whatever in the Establishment... supports every bit of these positions, and now the true colors come out wigh Trump. Our constitutional Republic is in serious danger.

Remembering who the dumb@@@ vote is-- and the poll manipulation by hitlery... what are Trump's chances? Maybe-- (don't forget the friendship with the Clinton's-- it's just business with this guy)-- he is working hard to be the losing candidate. It is entirely possible.

Talk radio host Mark Levin criticized Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump for his remarks on ethanol, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, and ethanol, arguing Trump “really screwed up,” and particularly criticized Trump’s position on ethanol as “pandering” and asking, “why would anybody support that who runs as a Republican?” on Monday.

Levin said, “I am not going to defend reckless comments, where a candidate or candidates defend the poison that is the Republican establishment, especially [Sen.] Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)48% in the United States Senate. I am not going to defend blowing out our federal budget subsidizing agribusiness and leftists with ethanol that screw up your engine and drive up the price of fuel and the price of corn. I am not going to defend an attack led by the media and the left trying to smear Antonin Scalia, who’s been on the Supreme Court for over 30 years, one of a handful of justices who’s trying save this republic because of one election cycle.”

He added, “I do not believe in cults of personalities, by the way the RINOs do.” Levin cautioned that he’s not endorsing anyone, but that the election is about the most conservative candidate to save the republic and the Constitution, which is the most important issue, and “a candidate who does not understand that we are losing this republic is a candidate that I can’t support.”

Levin continued that his warning to Trump is like his prior warning against another GOP presidential candidate Florida Senator Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL)79%.

What does Cruz know about business? Jack Squat.

You've got a point there. Ted Cruz has never declared bankruptcy before.

[ Hey, I don’t think ANY of these guys can fix what’s wrong with America. It’s too big, and anyway, the shadow government goes on and on, aggregating more power to itself every single day. But Trump looked like a panderer to me from the first speech I saw. Especially on Christianity; that really scorched me. ]

Sometimes I am with you on that feeling, sometimes I think we as a people won’t appreciate our god given freedom unless we spend a generation or two in chains like the ancient Israelites.

Sometimes I think that the conservatives should simply go “on strike” and just all resign and tell the libs and RINO republicans “All Yours, once you enslave us with the iron fisted tyranny you all sem to want so damned much we will be voting from the rooftops.”
