Trump calls for higher ethanol mandate
The Hill ^ | 1/19/2016 | Timothy Kama

Posted on 01/19/2016 12:47:48 PM PST by Nervous Tick

Donald Trump said Tuesday that federal regulators should increase the amount of ethanol blended into the nation’s gasoline supply.

Speaking at an event hosted by the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, Trump, a real estate mogul and the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination, said the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ought to follow the ethanol volumes Congress set in 2007.

“The EPA should ensure that biofuel ... blend levels match the statutory level set by Congress under the [renewable fuel standard],” Trump said. The mandate is popular in Iowa, which hosts the nation's first caucuses.

I don't think I am qualified, neither is Cruz.

You are entitled to your opinion, but it has no more weight than anyone else's.

Then again, if you stay with Trump for Iowa you could play a few rounds of Cornhole... With America. ;)

His Saturday morning small-souled hate tweeting at Cruz is what swatted me off his pile of $hit. The mask fell off irreparably.

He’s got a soul 10X too small.

So your entire life you have had a great allegiance for Spain? That’s crazy, you’re natural born?

April 15, 2009:

......[Larry] KING: With troubled times like this for the average guy who may be foreclosing on his house, is this the time to think like a champion?

TRUMP: Well, this is a time to think like a champion. This is the best time to think like a champion. As an example, the house is being foreclosed. You go see your bank — maybe you can make a deal, maybe you can’t. But you can make a deal with a bank on another house, Larry, because — and much better than the one you’re living in. And they’ll take back financing. They’ll do any deal to get rid of their product.

They have houses by the thousands. And you go see that bank and you make a deal.

And this is a great time for a person to go out, make a deal, get a house bigger and better than the one you’re living in now, except the bank will give you virtually 100 percent financing. They’ll take back a mortgage and you’ll be in better shape than you were before, if you know what you’re doing. ...”

Not the law I read but I could be wrong. Thought Obama administration directed EPA to ignore.

He doesn’t care. He is a rich man that needs nothing but to conquer the top position in the country. He could care less about you or your opinon!

It is all opinion at this point. Thanks for recognizing that.

Well, to be fair, you are stupid.

It’s just that you’re also smart.

But stupid. And smart. And really dumb. And brilliant. And stupid.

I have a line trimmer, a leaf blower, and a couple of other gas-powered tools that are toast because they leak fuel profusely. Ethanol is the cause. Send me the money to replace my tools or FUDT.

The more I think about it - this makes sense. For him to start pandering so early, I mean.

This will make it much easier for him to later say " That border fence isn't really that great of an idea. I've changed my thoughts on that. Not building the fence is much more of a WINNING idea. "

No, I left Spain when I was 2 years old. I was never a citizen of a foreign country. I grew up being told that you had to be born in the USA to be President. I would like to see a court rule on this definitively.

We know he’s pandering. But it’s a good question nonetheless. Is The Donald a global warming alarmist?

You’d think we’d know by now, no? Maybe he’ll give the EPA even more power? Gee, we just don’t know, do we? Or should I say, do you, Trump supporters?

When positions no longer matter, just the man himself, trouble is brewing...
