Ted Cruz, Sugar Subsidies and Corporate Welfare
Ted Cruz's attack on sugar subsidies during the debate is identified as a targeted strike against Marco Rubio, who has ties to the sugar industry in Florida. Cruz frames the subsidies as "corporate welfare" that bankrolls lobbying efforts. The hosts discuss the corruption inherent in these industry protections and the likelihood of a Bush vs. Clinton general election.
