I rather give my money to Iowan farmers than Saudi Sheiks.

Then put a tariff on Saudi Oil. Instead you want to put a tariff on the American people to fund gasoline additives that destroy your engine and put North Dakota and Alaskan roughnecks out of work.

What will it take to make you realize that Donald Trump is a Crony Capitalist con man?

Yea, Trump isn’t perfect and will need to be corrected on stuff like this.

With apologies to Willie Nelson....

"Trust Fund Donnie sits around in his underwear.
Pandering to farmers and combin' over all of his hair.
Trust Fund Donnie's got all his Trumpanzees there.

Well you shouldn't run for office if you ain't got nothin' to say
that doesn't contradict what you said just the other day.
Like adoring Single-Payer, Mrs. Clinton and the weddings of gays.

Trust Fund Donnie sits around in his underwear.
Pandering to farmers and combin' over all of his hair.
Trust Fund Donnie's got all his Trumpanzees there.

Well old Sarah Palin was the head of a nitwit clan.
Not too bright, but she had a lot of simpleton fans.
She made a lot of money selling stupid on the family plan.

Trust Fund Donnie sits around in his underwear.
Pandering to farmers and combin' over all of his hair.
Trust Fund Donnie's got all his Trumpanzees there."

I don't know if ethanol is good or not, but I think it is a bad idea to use food for fuel.

Ethanol is crap for a number of reasons. Speaking as a guy who paid $300 for towing and repairs on my 2004 Sonata due to ethanol.

Growing anything on our farmland to produce ethanol is a horrible choice. Oil is cheap and essentially unlimited.

My 2014 Jeep owners manual clearly states no more than 10% ethanol.

The EPA and apparently Trump doesn’t care.

Well, I definitely don’t agree with Trump on this. I’ll have to listen to the actual statement, but on the face of it, I don’t support it. We always knew Trump wasn’t perfect. It’s still the same decision it’s always been - a choice between imperfect candidates.

Give me ethanol or give me death! Just don’t put it in my gas tank, thank you.

If Congress is the stupid authority that ordered it, the EPA needs to do it.

However, it should be eliminated and the EPA abolished.

Stop turning food into fuel! Corn is easier to digest that tar sands.

I can on and on.

I'm sure you can, but, yes, I still support him. This is why:

Immigration Reform That Will Make America Great Again

This is THE defining issue for this century, IMO. If we do not get this under control, the rest of it won't matter. He's our best shot at stopping the bleeding and hopefully turning things around.

Trying to take out Cruz who has a PRINCIPLED BELIEVE.

It's called politics. He has to beat the Republican competition to advance to the finals. If your complaint is about principles, you should be directing it at those who benefit from ethanol production, the Iowan farmers. You can stand on principle all you want, but the pragmatic Politian will weigh principles against vices. Ethanol may be a dumb environmental idea, but it fits the Trump message made in America by people who work. My take, he wants to win Iowa and doesn't care a rat's ass about ethanol.

I’m with you. If I remember correctly 15% ethanol which is what the EPA wanted, the big 3 car cos. said it would void their warranties. If this is true than none of this makes a bit of sense. Trump hasn’t been elected and already following Zero’s lead? Beginning to look less promising.

And not so small. I had to rebuild the Holley on my mother’s truck twice as ethanol eats the accelerator pump every 2 years. First time it almost started a fire.

Dunno by you, but up here Conoco/BP has no ethanol in their Premium... That's what I use all the time... better performance, more miles per tank... Don't know why anyone would burn Regular/Super.

This should seriously finish him as a credible candidate. But it won’t.

In the style of Trump: Ethanol mandates are a disaster! Ethanol is costing Americans millions!

Trump is full of it
