One Cheer For Ted Cruz

One Cheer For Ted Cruz

Up to now, I bring been skeptical almost Ted Cruz. Yes, he is smart as well as articulate, as well as he is a graduate of ii of my favorite universities. But politics is a squad sport, as well as based on his time as a fellow member of the Senate, Cruz does non appear much similar a squad player.  If he were ever to larn president, he would need to larn a squad leader, non only an effective promoter of his ain personal brand. He has a long trend to croak to convince voters similar me that he is upwards to the job.

But let's lay that trouble concern aside.  I was much impressed yesteryear this article in today's Wall Street Journal, amongst the headline Ethanol Backers Mobilize Against Ted Cruz inwards Iowa Republican Race: Republican senator is begin leading presidential candidate to oppose federal Renewable Fuel Standard.

The number at mitt is the mandate for the role of ethanol, which in Iowa is equally sacrosanct as maternity as well as apple tree pie.  Based on what I know almost the issue, the representative boils downwardly to good policy versus proficient politics.  My agreement is that corn-based ethanol is not cost effective (as opposed to ethanol based on cane carbohydrate equally used inwards another nations).  But if you lot are trying to win votes from corn producers inwards Iowa, corn-based ethanol is fantabulous politics.

It seems that Cruz is taking a bold stand upwards opting for proficient policy here. Count me equally impressed.
