    Part of his platform was lowering energy prices - “Drill, Baby, Drill!” He expects grocery prices to go down as a result.

      He had a golden opportunity to make that argument and instead talked about how much property he owned and to talk about a loading dock he drove by.

        It was part of his platform and the part I emphasized shows him referencing it. The author of this article is misleading people with his headline.

            I’m saying that’s his argument. I don’t know if it’ll work out, but this conversation started because the headline is false.

        My point the whole time has been that the article has a bad headline. If he said something like “We can’t lower prices,” then it’d make sense.
