Ted Cruz promises Wyoming Republicans to roll back war on coal
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) Republican candidate Ted Cruz promised to roll back what he calls President Barack Obamas war on coal if hes elected president. ... Wyoming, the nations leading coal-producing state, has seen hundreds of coal industry layoffs in recent months as several of the nations largest coal companies have filed for federal bankruptcy protections.
Hillary Clinton promises that if shes elected, shes going to finish the task and bankrupt anyone associated with coal, Cruz said. I give you my word right now, we are going to lift the federal regulators back, we are going to end the war on coal.
Obama, in announcing the restrictions in 2014, said carbon emission cause health problems and contribute to global warming. For the sake of all our kids, weve got to do more to reduce it, he said of emissions.
Cruz, however, in an interview Saturday with The Associated Press after his speech, said hes not remotely concerned that rolling back federal restrictions on coal could contribute to an increase global warming.

As you probably can tell - I hate Cruz more than Trump

(54 posts)Honestly I cannot stand Cruz. Trump would even be preferable to him. If Cruz is elected he'll probably make George W Bush look like a good president.
