But it does enrich Iowa corn farmers.  Hence, until Ted Cruz showed that it is possible to oppose the ethanol mandate and survive popular Governor Terry Branstad’s opposition, the GOP has failed to oppose it with sufficient vigor.

Best of all: Those who pandered got defeated.  Stephen Kruiser explains at PJ Media:

    Trump and his supporters like to portray him as tapping into the zeitgeist over business as usual on Capitol Hill. Trump, however, is an opportunist and many who aren't caught up in the cult-like fever surrounding him know that many of those opportunities have had more than a hint of Washington cronyism to them.

    Conservatives in the Republican electorate aren't just angry about the party's awful performance on immigration, we're sick of the abuse of the American taxpayer in the pursuit of bloating the federal bureaucracy. It's painful to be the adult and begin actually saying no....

Let's hope so.

Ethanol is about the worst use for corn I know. Fortunately I think it's on it's way out as other tech comes on line.
The Republic is lost.
