Well, I don't think that anyone can deny that Donald Trump is at least a little fiery...
Here is a short transcript:
Trump- Did you see recently where, a couple of days ago, Saudia Arabia said, "Let's raise the price, let's cut back production?" Can you believe it? You're gonna be paying $5 and $6 a gallon for gasoline pretty soon... and they wanna go in and raise the price of oil because we have nobody in Washington that sits back and said 'you're not going to raise that f***ing price! Do you understand me?'
[Followed by loud applause]

I like that but of course the Lindsay Grahams of the party won't.
The trouble with war measures is that they require wars. I recently read a commenter on another Website who wrote that his grandfather, around 1943 or so, referred to the 1930s as the "good old days." I kid you not. That fellow's grampaw thought that the Great Depression years were relatively good as compared with life in '43.
I don't see any way that the U.S. public would endure the economic collapse that your measure would engender unless it were part of an all-out, full-draft, multimillion-troop, multimillion-death shooting war. That kind of belt-tightening and pain are easier to endure when a fourth to a third of the youngsters are suffering and dying on the front lines. It makes the civvies feel fortunate by comparison, which makes almost anything endurable.
In a way, it's a pity that the Greatest Generation were so tight-lipped about their experiences during World War 2. [My maternal grandfather, an M.D., never spoke of what his war work was; my mother had to find out after he passed away.] Had they been less stiff-lipped, we'd find out what "war is hell" really meant. Complainers may be irritating, but honest and well-meaning ones inform.
[Of course, I'm one to talk: I hardly complain about anything.]
How is this guy leading GOP polls? I’d probably prefer him to Romney but not many other candidates.
BRAVO ‘plain talk’. Everything that I hear Trump say makes me come to one of two conclusions. 1. He’s an attention-addicted blowhard or 2. He’s a simpleton. In either case, in does nothing for the conservative cause.
Say for a moment he's actually elected. Do you really believe he's going to put actions to those words? He won't. And even in his narcisstic mind...he KNOWS he won't.
narcisstic=narcissistic
Exactly. That should be his focus, not mindless trashtalking.
Maybe not an asskisser, most likely NOT an asskicker...but most DEFINITELY an ass.
We do have the resources to do the thing I'm suggesting without anybody dying from it. A year later we'd be four times better off than we'd ever been, and OPEC would be gone along with every rogue regime on the planet.
You are delusional.
I would vote for this man in a second. Knocks it out of the park each and every time.
The point I'm trying to make is, the public won't stand for it unless it's part of an all-out world war - the real thing. Already declared, with a full draft.
How many members of the general public bought into Jimmy Carter's "Moral Equivalent Of War" in the late 1970s? What his Adminstration did back then was picayune in comparison to what you're suggesting. You may remember that he had a similar goal in mind.
You lost me at Joe Biden Thinks....
LOL!
