Branstad: Cruz prospects dimming in Iowa
Just three days before the Iowa caucuses, longtime Republican Gov. Terry Branstad ripped into Ted Cruz – mocking him for his Thursday night debate performance and asserting that his prospects in the state are dimming. “Ted Cruz was ahead in Iowa, but as people have figured out his stance on issues that are important to the economy of the state” he’s lost support, Branstad said during a Friday morning taping of CSPAN’s “Newsmakers,” pointing specifically to Cruz’s opposition to ethanol subsidies – an issue of central importance to Iowans. “He was ahead on polls, but now he’s dropped below Trump.” Story Continued Below The interview, which is set to air on Sunday, was conducted by reporters from

Yes! This is music to my ears!!!
Cruz is now going to get what he so richly deserves: a thorough thrashing, we hope?!
Him, Rubio, and Santorum need to drop out and stop the charade!
This has done nothing more than to make Iowans very distrustful of you three!

Cruz SHOULD HAVE listened to Trump and gotten a “declaratory judgment,” as we can see here:

A perverse illustration of this stupefying attitude comes from the Bank of Nova Scotia (commonly known as Scotiabank), which has welcomed the migrant onslaught with its Welcome Syrians program. (The original webpage featuring large print and colorful graphics now seems to have been scrubbed.) Canada’s third largest bank is offering every Syrian a hundred dollar gift deposit, a $2000 limit unsecured credit card, a free safety deposit box for one year and a $50 unsecured overdraft. Customers who bank at the Scotia and pay monthly fees to maintain their accounts have good reason to feel resentful — unless, of course, they happen to be migrant sympathizers and soft on Islam.
These “Syrians,” not all of whom are Syrians and some of whom are almost surely ISIS jihadists, receive housing, benefits, and gifts without having contributed an iota to the nation’s economy; indeed, they will be a limitless drain on our resources.
The $1.2 billion cost of bringing in these refugees is only the beginning of our fiscal woes. Quoted by the CBC, coordinator Carl Nicholson said “many factors have made the task of housing government-assisted refugees more difficult, including the larger-than expected size of some families that have arrived.” The accompanying photo shows a couple with six toddlers. No wonder the Liberals’ shopworn immigration minister John McCallum has solicited the business community for donations in the amount of $50 million. “I would encourage all Canadians, companies, individuals, communities, to continue to support the effort because we are entering a critical phase,” he said. Darn right on the latter score.
My parents and grandparents, fleeing starving, war-torn Ukraine, worked to the bone to earn a living while contributing through taxes to the national welfare. Many Canadians share the same history, yet they are expected to receive and bankroll a large number of migrants who will take advantage of the innumerable perks that our forebears, who fled famine and civil war and who helped build this country, had never enjoyed or even considered their due.”
