Could Trump's big endorsement this evening be Governor Brandstad? [View all]

These last few weeks, he has been going around attacking Cruz for his Canadian citizenship and saying nice things about Trump and because of Cruz's position on ethanol.

The Trump family has been courting him assiduously, with his son going hunting with him

I know that Brandstad has attacked Trump last month concerning his Muslim comments but the tone seems to have changed recently.


Going back to Trump, he added, “In defense of Donald Trump, he says let’s make America great again. So he’s angry about the mess that we’re in, the lack of leadership on the Obama administration in dealing with the Islamic militant threat and the killings that are going on in our country and throughout the world, and also just the financial mess we’re in and the lack of respect that America now is getting in the world. So I think he’s voiced that. And he’s really tapped into a great level of discontent among Americans in the direction the country’s going. Iowa’s going the right direction. America’s going the wrong direction. We need new leadership.”


And very recently, Brandstad said he wanted Cruz defeated

So, I would not be surprised if this famous guest was Brandstad.

Well'we'll see
