Cruz suffered two huge blows in IA yesterday, Palin's endorsement of Trump, and this from Gov. Branstad:
“Ted Cruz is ahead right now. What we’re trying to do is educate the people in the state of Iowa. He is the biggest opponent of renewable fuels. He actually introduced a bill in 2013 to immediately eliminate the Renewable Fuel Standard. He’s heavily financed by Big Oil. So we think once Iowans realize that fact, they might find other things attractive but he could be very damaging to our state,” Branstad said.
Branstad added that Cruz “hasn’t supported renewable fuels, and I think it would be a big mistake for Iowa to support him.”
Asked if he would want to see Cruz defeated, Branstad said “yes.”
As Sioux County, Iowa goes, so goes the Republican caucus. At least, that is the pattern.
And I haven't seen any Cruz lawn signs come down yet.
(Of course, they may be frozen into place!)
