This will have NO impact on the election in my opinion. It’s too technical for the people to discern.

Remember Trump has the right to change his mind as President, while he mocks Republicans who were stupid enough to vote for him like this.

The guy is as rational and coherent as many FR posters and WAY MORE rational and coherent them some. As least he doesn't use a plethora of logical fallacies like way to many do.

I think Trump is wrong on the ethanol issue. That being said Trump knows Cruz has spent a huge amount of time and effort in Iowa. Trump wants this win. Cruz needs it. Cruz burns every bridge he crosses and sometime he burns the bridge before he even crosses it. Not the wise man people say he is.

For dumb. You bought that lying meme. I’ve seen Trump use the exact same gestures while talking about Anthony Weiner.
