So says the Cruzader.

I am pretty sure that all of us Trumpanzees have explained over and over to you in excruciating detail why we support the Trump candidacy, why we are still conservatives, and why we believe that it’s the best shot for conservatism to survive. It can be summed up in: “We will take the low-risk gamble for half a loaf rather than take a much riskier gamble for the whole loaf.” That’s reason, is it not?

I know that you reject our viewpoints, but they have been arrived at by reason and our interpretation of the limited facts.

And the more you insult us, the less we care to listen to what you have to say. Great job stumping for Ted.

Presidents Romney and McCain admire your pragmatism. [As do I.]

Unfortunately, The Donald's® history is far to the left of both of them.

Go back and look at what I said about the EPA.

You want an issue, DT said he'd keep it whole he was saying he'd continue the ethanol mandate.

Tell me, please, just how you or anyone else is going to have a resurgence in manufacturing in America with that agency in place.

They have fought energy.

They have fought mining

They have created and re-created moving target emissions standards which have cost billions in downtime and re-fits, only to move the bar again when the re-fits are done.

They have virtually killed the coal mining industry by forcing coal burning electrical generation plants offline with the destructive economics of changing emissions standards.

They have attacked hydraulic fracturing, the production enhancement technique which has enabled America's resurgence as an oil producer and cheaper gasoline in your tank.

They have declared CO2 a "pollutant", and deemed they have the power to regulate it. (don't breathe too hard when you read this, you exhale CO2, too).

They polluted the Animas River with mine waste, despite being told their approach to the drainage problem was flawed. The disaster was predicted a week ahead of the event.

They attacked a couple over filling in a low spot in their yard, declaring that an "intermittent wetland".

They attempted (still in court) to give a million+ acres of Wyoming to the Wind River Indian Tribe, despite much of it being private property, and despite the fact that changes to State boundaries must be approved by Congress. As an aside, that area includes the town of Pavilion, where the EPA constructed test wells to 'prove' fraccing polluted water. One was drilled into an oil bearing formation, the other was constructed so badly the USGS refused to even test it. There might be some butt covering there, because the change from being governed by US and Wyoming law to Tribal Law just might affect people's ability to investigate what went on with that.

That's just one thing, but it is a show stopper.

How is America going to become "Great Again" in the face of preserving the very agency which has driven jobs offshore, shut down industry, and put people out of work?

Answer that.
