It does no good trying to pass anything conservative with this president. If Trump was president, he could surely pass is EPA expansion and single payer Trumpcare though.

The deal will be an increase in the tax on oil and then the ethanol mandate will go away. That deal is already taking shape and when the Republicrats roll over they'll focus on nothing but how great they are for getting rid of the ethanol mandate.

The tax will add about twice as much to the price of gasoline as ethanol does, but hey, we'll still hear what a great victory it is for the Senator from Texas.

The gullible crowd will bleed but cheer for their favorite lawyer/politician.

He did apologize. (And it as an ACTUAL apology, not a politician's non-apology, for which he should also be given kudos!)

It wasn't for his staff to repeat Carson's announcement, or the CNN headline. Cruz openly said, "What the team then should have done was send around the follow-up statement from the Carson campaign clarifying that he was indeed staying in the race when that came out."

But again, nobody can find the words "dropping out" anywhere... not from Carson, not from CNN, not from Rubio's people (who were also broadcasting the news as it hit), and not from Cruz's people... but somehow, only Cruz's people are to blame. Hmm.

The house has no filibuster, and they do have the “discharge petition.”

You’re known for a load of stupid comments, but that one takes the cake!

Everything has changed.

Cruz’ record victory proves that even the farmers of Iowa don’t vote for ethanol.

The big bad wolf is dead.

Truly foolish comment!

Cruz garnered the largest victory in the history of the Iowa caucus.

Corn is definitely not a renewable fuel.

Growing GMO corn for ethanol is killing the natural microbes and insects in the soil, and rendering it unfit for Agriculture.

Sensible people do not buy or eat meat from grain fed animals.

The enzyme inhibitors found in all grains destroy your ability to digest your food, thus causing Colon Cancer.

Grass-fed for life!

Says the person with a passionate commitment to Trust Fund Donnie Trump, who has built business and political careers on The Art Of The Lie.

You’re cute!

SORRY! I thought you were directing this to me!

Please accept my apology. That was meant for the person to sent the post to.

Hey at least you didn't call me a moron like C. Edmund.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Guess I will remain a happy insensible guy then.

Grass fed is not as tasty as is corn-fed. Has something to do with those horrible fat streaks through the meat.
