    I have a standing wager to ANY conservative here.

    Trump or no trump Hillary won't run.

    $100 dollars says she doesn't.

    Put your money where your mouth is.

    You think it's impossible for someone to not know whether or not they believe the President committed treason? If when asked I say, "I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised either way," that's an unreasonable response?

    More drilling doesn't do that and you know it.

    OPEC controls prices and more domestic drilling doesn't change that.

    IMO There are only 2 answers to the question:

    Do you believe the president conspired with Russia to win the election?

    Yes or no?

    I truthfully can say I don't have enough information to make an assertion either way. If I had to make a gut call, I would say yes, he did some shady and probably illegal things to become president, but I don't think it will be enough for him to be impeached. Resign, maybe.

    So yeah, I'm not sure what side that puts me on.

    More domestic drilling wouldn't theoretically lead to more domestic production?

    Then the oil industry is a lot more complicated than I realized.

    I have no idea. If I was on the stand and was asked that question, that would be my answer. I told you my gut feeling above, and if that doesn't work for you :dunno:

    More domestic production won't make a dent in gas prices, nor will the pipelines the want to run through the heart of our country.

    So to answer my question, yes, you believe that for me to respond to your question with, "I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised either way," is not a reasonable response.

    We will have to agree to disagree on that one.

    A simple yes or no would suffice. It's a yes/no question.

    I don't believe I said anything about prices, just volume of importation.

    There are a lot of yes/no questions to which one can reasonably respond, "I don't know." I believe this to be one of them.

    I think that's a yes or no question. It's different than asking what you think. That's an open ended inquiry.

    The question you asked, specifically, was "do you believe..." That's asking what I think.

    Well, you do have to drill in the right places.

    I believe without doubt that the Russians and Ukranians tampered with team Trump and I believe Trump has lied about knowing about it....I am also pretty sure he kept himself insulated with fall guys the whole time..still does. Trump has always worked this way...he doesn't listen to people at all so I doubt he knew much but he did put his campaign team together and we now know several were knee deep in corruption and talking to the Russians
