How does Trump feel about opening up the areas in the US closed by the Feds to drilling?

[MeSpikeLibs]

Wow... How Presidential.

[SkyDancer]

How about Trump saying we’re going to drill, drill, drill and you all can drink your oil for all we care.

[lormand]

Donald “Herbert Hoover” Trump

[PaleoBob]

The royal family is fabulously rich and doesn’t have to sell the US one more barrel EVER. We need to DRILL for our OWN oil, not try hurling insults in exchange for someone else’s.

[muir_redwoods]

And what if they don’t? Trump is a grandstanding rabble rouser. The better approach would be to return to our status as a net exporter of both coal and oil and let the Arabs look for new markets. As long as we leave it in the ground our under our seas we wil be at the mercy of I’ll-willed despot who wish us harm and destruction whether they be muslim trawl or Chavez-like marxists.

Drill here, drill now,

[plain talk]

Yeah trump would say that and the Saudis would tell little Donald to take a hike and that would be the end of it. He won’t be able to fire the Chinese and the Saudis or order them about. Especially when the US is a major cause for increased oil prices due to problems with the dollar and restrictions on drilling.

What trump should be saying is that obama is the cause of high oil prices and describe how his energy plan would be different. However I am not sure he has a plan or a clue.

[JerseyHighlander]

He's the modern equivalent of some of the worst demagogue emperors and consuls of Imperial Rome. The guy is in debt to the tune of over US$1Billion dollars to bond holders and equity partners around the world, and has no chance of maintaining his ponzi scheme, so he's decided to make a run to become emperor? What a loon.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

"The bombing starts in five minutes."

[Walrus]

This guy is a blithering idiot.

In the REAL world, you don’t simply tell off other sovereign countries and, guess what Donald, you can’t just fire them, either.

Every day, he sounds more and more like the drunk at the end of the bar offering his solutions for all the problems of the world.

The fact that ANYONE could seriously consider voting for this narcissistic bullsh*tter scares the hell out of me.

[Sprite518]

GOOD someone needs to get angry!

We are on the wrong path and we need someone with fire in their belly. Our Republic will go down the tubes if we continue to be soft and gentle. McCain type speak is too weak for the path we are on... Hell we can’t even get Washington to stop their increase spending every year and you want to tone down the talk? Civil talk has gotten us no where! The mark of strong and free Republic is vigorous debate. Quit worrying about Political Correctness B.S.

Now just because I said that does not mean I like the F Bomb from our leaders. I think they are better words Trump can choose. Nevertheless, I still someone that will stand up and get in the face of the leftist before they tear our Republic apart. I’m glad someone has some fire in their gut.

[ScottinVA]

Oh, really, Donald? And if they DO, your response to that will be... more bloviating.

Get off the stage, you self-worshipping, arrogant, bloated POS.

[thackney]

'you're not going to raise that f***ing price

Like Donald actually believes that would work or that is how the whole market works.

He is only playing to the crowd that wants to hear this, regardless of reality.

I want to hear him say how he is going to open up the rest of America to drilling, open up our vast shale deposits in the Green River formation, encourage coal to liquid, natural gas to liquid, etc...

[RichInOC]

To which the guys at OPEC will reply (in a slightly more mature and diplomatic fashion) “You’re not the boss of us!”

[FrankR]

The trumpster is wrong on this; OPEC should be dumped from the picture entirely, they have been yanking our chain and playing footsie with us long enough.

To complete the treatment, dump the EPA as well; just the mere announcement that we are "opening drilling for America" would send OPEC into spirals. I saw where they are paying 9-cents per gallon for gasoline in Saudi Arabia...and we're almost at $5 per? What's wrong with this picture.

Our biggest enemy on the energy front is not OPEC, it's not even the oil companies...IT'S OUR OWN F***ING GOVERNMENT.

Trump never had my vote, and if he doesn't understand this simple fact, he'll never even come close to getting it.

I like what he's done with calling out obama, but his "ideas" and his potty mouth are not what we need right now...he only appealing to the lowest common denominator in the American population...RINO's.

Talking tough, and being tough, are two different things...as an example:

[Mike Darancette]

OPEC Can’t Raise the F***ing Price” of Oil

[Avery Iota Kracker]

I’d be more impressed if he had said, “You’re not going to raise the f***ing price of oil, you f***king f***ers.”

With what an ass he is.

[lwd]

How is this guy leading GOP polls? I’d probably prefer him to Romney but not many other candidates.

[My Favorite Headache]

I would vote for this man in a second. Knocks it out of the park each and every time.
