Two Consistent Pro-Growth Economic Conservatives Win the Night. Trump Loses.

  |  

“Republican voters want a consistent, pro-growth, small-government economic conservative.”

Washington, DC – Club for Growth Action, a political arm of the Club for Growth, released the following statement after tonight’s Republican Caucus in Iowa:

“Congratulations to Ted Cruz for winning the Iowa GOP Caucus, and to Marco Rubio for a great finish,” said Club for Growth president David McIntosh. “Republican voters want a consistent, pro-growth, small-government economic conservative to be president, not a phony liberal. Pro-growth candidates won a clear majority from GOP caucus goers, while Donald Trump badly underperformed and lost. Republican voters will continue to bail on Trump as they learn the truth about his long-held far-left positions on taxes, health care, bailouts, and eminent domain.”

“It’s not surprising that two candidates who were elected to the Senate with the backing of Club members would emerge ahead of the pack. Iowans have affirmed what Club members have long known – Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are true champions of economic freedom.”
