It was pandering. Of course Trump did his share of pandering on the ethanol subsidies but together they don't even come close to the queen of pandering, Hillary Cankles Cackles.
I'm no Hillary fan, but she's pandering in this election cycle probably less than anyone other than Kasich. She openly says she plans to under-promise and over-deliver (i.e., she doesn't make pie-in-the-sky idiotic promises that have zero chance of implementation like Trump (or Bernie) does).

FWIW, I think one would have to be batshit crazy to support Trump or Cruz. There is no way Trump will successfully implement anything he's promising and Cruz won't be able to do a thing as the most despised man in Washington since Joe McCarthy.

Trump and Cruz are truly trips. I think during his downfall Nixon was more despised than Cruz. Given that, Cruz is a pandering say anything politician who doesn't care what people who aren't going to help keep him in power think or say of him. He's also very smart and more than a bit charismatic to those people, which makes him potentially dangerous.

Regarding Shrillary, anyone who says they're going to under-promise and over-deliver is over-promising.

Occasionally, he says something that makes sense and feels compelled to delete it. He has a reputation to protect.

I like her policies just fine, but her integrity, judgment and ability to stay out of jail are all suspect.
