Cruz fallout

[Dr. Dan]

Iowa governor says Cruz must be defeated because Cruz supports big oil

And Palin might be supporting trump. I guess Chaim was right. Trump supporters are mostly dumb and low information voters.

Palin has endorsed Trump.

Daniel Greenfield: The media is treating Palin's endorsement of Trump as a conservative endorsement. However historically Sarah Palin's endorsements have been more complicated than that.

Palin backed McCain, and McCain allies like Kelly Ayotte and Cathy McMorris Rodgers. Her track record of picking conservative stalwarts is also mixed. She supported Marco Rubio and Nikki Haley.

Palin endorsed Susan Martinez who, like Trump, attacked Romney for alienating Hispanic voters with "self-deportation".

Beyond Marco Rubio, a number of Palin endorsees have come out for amnesty, such as Sean Duffy, Michael Grimm and Orrin Hatch.

Sarah Palin certainly endorsed plenty of legitimately conservative candidates and she could not have necessarily known how some of her picks would turn out. But with some establishment candidates, such as McCain and Hatch, she certainly could have.

Here is how she praised Hatch.

"Orrin Hatch is part of the one percent. No, not that one percent you’ve heard about. He’s part of the one percent of national politicians who I think should be reelected. Orrin Hatch is a life-long conservative whose dedication and devotion to the conservative cause and to his beloved and beautiful state of Utah is well documented."

Here is how she praised McCain.

"Everybody here, supporting John McCain, we are all part of that Tea Party movement," Palin said. "I think he's gonna win this one," she said. "Before there were protests on Main Street and marches on Capitol Hill, there was the maverick of the Senate, fighting for us."

Meet the Last (Liberal) Person that Sarah Palin Endorsed

By: Leon H. Wolf (Diary)  |  January 20th, 2016 at 09:15 AM  |

RESIZE: AAA

In the middle of her rambling, barely coherent speech endorsing Donald Trump last night, Palin addressed the (obviously true) contention that Trump is not a conservative. She didn’t really address the contention with any evidence at all, other than to basically say, “What does the establishment know about conservatism?”

    And then, funny. Ha ha. Not. Funny. But now, what they’re doing is wailing, well, Trump and his, uh, uh, his Trumpeters, well, they’re not conservative enough. Oh my goodness gracious. What the heck would the establishment know about conservatism?

The implication of this question, of course, is that she, Sarah Palin, does know about conservatism, and you can trust her that when she endorses someone, they are a conservative.

Well, let’s take a recent track record. The last person Sarah Palin endorsed was independent candidate for Alaska governor Bill Walker (along with his Democrat lieutenant governor), who ran against Palin’s former running mate Sean Parnell. Well, if Palin endorsed him over a Republican, then surely he must have been a super conservative person, just like her, right?

Wrong. Bill Walker has been a liberal disaster from day one in Alaska. One of his first major policy moves was to unilaterally ram the Obamacare Medicaid expansion down Alaska’s throat, over the objections of the Republican Alaska legislature, who were so opposed to it that they unsuccessfully sued him over it.

For those of you who are keeping score, this is exactly the same maneuver that basically torched John Kasich’s presidential ambitions, and undoing this move basically propelled Matt Bevin to office in Kentucky.

To pay for his foray into the Obamacare expansion, Walker is now trying to impose a massive state income tax on Alaskans.

So if there’s one thing you can trust, it’s that Sarah Palin knows what a conservative is and what they look like, and that if she endorses someone, they are conservative. Because nothing says “conservative” like a massive Obamacare government healthcare expansion paid for by a massive tax hike.

The Governor of Iowa wants Ted Cruz defeated. He says Iowans would be hurt by Ted Cruz were he to get elected.

Why?

Cruz opposes the ethanol renewable fuel standard and wants to phase it out.

It turns out that Branstad’s son is paid by the ethanol lobby and has been trailing candidates demanding they support ethanol.

It’s a family business for Branstad. Meanwhile, Donald Trump pledged to keep the ethanol subsidy — bowing to the crony capitalists.
