Right... my point was, this is a sign that Bloomberg's numbers are on the rise. Nobody was paying attention to him a month ago. He is being taken seriously now. All of those ads he has been flooding the airwaves with must be resonating.

He’s a serious candidate because the rest of the dems running are such trash

Yea like ethanol. They have that big refinery in Loudon. Big bucks. But to plant corn harvest it and transport and refine it is actually more efficient?

Only from the perspective of being a re-producible and inexpensive fuel crop. Not so much on the transportation.

He's highly successful and super rich, so you must have a different meaning for the term blooming idiot than the rest of us.

You know the guys at the top at Boeing are super rich and "highly successful", too; but they'd have been better off paying attention to people like engineers several notches below them. High position aren't necessarily indicative of competency. See, we always get into this thing about "requirements" to be president and wind up with the common man isn't qualified, but con men generally are because they are successful in politics and business. If we flipped subjects and made this about Trump, I'd bet the arguments would be different.

I use propane... taste the meat not the heat.

People that taste charcoal in their meat were not patient enough to let the starter fluid burn off and the coals get good and white. Or better yet, just use a chimney. I've used both though. Just as happy either way.

Starter fluid? GTFOH use a chimney you barbarian!

I do. I even carry my chimney to my moms when we grill down there. My brother in law tried to squirt starter on my charcoal down there one time and I almost lost it.

yeah, sorry I didn't make it past starter fluid in your original post.

I carry a chimney in the camper to use with my Smokey Joe.

I just don't see it. Sure sun powers the plant growth, but petroleum powers everything else ... gotta have tractors and other farm machinery ... then there's fertilizer, pesticides, etc that don't grow on trees.

I'm quite adept at propane grilling. I can pull food off a propane grill to rival any coal or stick burner. My current mode of grilling and smoking is coal, and has been for about 5 years. Before that, propane as long as I can recall.

My son will pull ribs, brisket, and salmon off his watt burner that will put dedicated stick burners to shame.

Irrelevant. The new standard under Trump is that no matter what you said or did a few years ago it does not matter as long as you say the right thing today.

According to @Purple Tiger, my dad and step son don't know anything about farming, since they did R&D into that seed that got planted. Or the soil it got planted into. There's not a commercial farm, or modestly successful private farmer that don't have people like them onsite during planting and harvest. What a farmer actually does, as respectful as it is, is only a fraction of what goes into his farming.

What did my dad do? He TAUGHT people how to farm. How to grow crops for themselves and for their own country and it's citizens. He spent time in virtually every third world country on earth teaching how to farm what they developed for each varying climate so the country could feed it's people.

My uncle with that R&D stuff, I don’t think they followed it, from what I’m told. They did, but I think now, they went back to some of the old ways. I’ve been around and seen the financial parts of it. They spend a lot of money to do it. There is a lot that goes into it. You have to be patient they tell me. For I’ve seen all kinds of crap that they’ve had to put up with. Even the pigs that they have on their farm is a lot of work. I really don’t know much about the R&D part.

Gave up propane 3 years ago when we got an egg.

He is a serious candidate because he can self-fund a vast amount of air time on nationally televised programming. You remember when Trump claimed that he would self-fund his 2016 campaign? Yeah, well Bloomberg is actually doing it.

I think Trump self funded his primary campaign. Could be wrong.
