\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: Sylvania is up next from San Diego. Hi, Sylvania. Glad you waited. You\u2019re up next on the EIB Network. <\/p>\n

CALLER: Hi, Rush. I was a big Trumpster from the get-go. The way he caught my attention was when he started saying “make America great again” and we\u2019re going to “win” again. For me that was the keyword, winning, because I was absolutely exhausted and tired of losing seven years. I wanted to win. So I was with Donald Trump from the beginning. <\/p>\n

But then also Ted Cruz kind of started getting my attention. And I was thinking and looking at both guys and debating. And then Iowa happened. And what we saw in Iowa was that Ted Cruz took on the ethanol lobby and he said “no subsidies.” And he was the only candidate that did that. Donald Trump actually caved there. The ethanol lobby spent a lot of money against Ted Cruz and the governor in Iowa actually said: Please vote for anybody but Cruz. And Cruz held firm and he won. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So when you had that caller before saying, “Well, I\u2019m with Donald Trump because he\u2019s a fighter and he fights. And Ted Cruz, I\u2019m not sure that he can fight.” I say you really need to look at the things the way they are, not the way you want them to be. Because right now I see Ted Cruz standing firm and strong. <\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re one of the — I\u2019m trying to remember how many, it\u2019s not very many. You\u2019re one of the few committed Trumpsters that I\u2019ve ever encountered who has decided to leave and go somewhere else, in your case for Cruz. Was it really ethanol that did it for you? <\/p>\n

CALLER: Well, there were some things, but definitely it was ethanol. You know, the statements that he was making that made me think that perhaps he doesn\u2019t really understand separation of powers between judicial, legislative, executive branch. Then I really don\u2019t think that he understands — I like to have a separation between the states. For example, that 9\/11 moment in the debate in Iowa, when Ted Cruz said he has New York — hello? <\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, I\u2019m here. <\/line><\/p>\n

CALLER: When he said that Donald Trump has New York values, I really — (phone cuts out) — Trump said 9\/11 are our values. To me it was almost an equivalent to Barack Obama using a race card to stop the conversation. <\/p>\n

RUSH: All right. I gotcha. I gotcha. I think you had call waiting and somebody is calling you and you thought I was hanging up on you. By the way, do we still have our Dittocam signal because I lost my feed on my monitor here. We\u2019re up and running? Okay, well, now, that\u2019s interesting. I have not talked to too many Trumpsters who have seen the light or abandoned Trump or whatever. She\u2019s got two different reasons there. Ethanol and — I never said separation — I think she\u2019s talking about an observation that Donald is not particularly ideological. In other words, who is liberal and who is conservative, that doesn\u2019t register with him. He sees things in different ways. Not a criticism. Not a criticism. An observation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
