    That's because you're used to "do nothing" politicians of both parties. When both sides despise you, you're doing things right! Read his books...it'll tell you everything you need to know!

    Or the taxes collected from those who choose to stay in Mexico. We need a few of them to be stupid enough to do that for a year or so.

    You've made it clear that presenting a rational argument backed up by facts is not your intent here. Don't worry, no one takes you seriously.

    I substantiate my posts with fact based articles more than most members on the site. I've been doing that a lot longer than you've been a member, here.

    Don't worry about speaking for anyone but yourself and like-minded progressives. You don't.

    You're going to have do better while your making excuses for Trump in the future. I expect you'll have a lot of defending and apologizing to do.

    Close, but no cigar.

    I really did not believe this particular promise.

    But you are quite correct in your view that I was voting against Hillary Clinton far more than I was voting for Donald Trump.

    I do not wish to be mistaken for a believer in Trump's promise here--I truly am not--but, just to play devil's advocate (and in all fairness), I really do not think that it is all about Mexico's writing us a check for that amount of money. Rather, it is about our withholding funds that would otherwise flow into Mexico.

    Mexico should have to pay, because people who come to America should come legally, and learn English. As for Mexico not paying, and calling the wall "Racist" (the left's favorite term), well, there actually IS a way to make them pay for it. Attach a surcharge to all money sent back to Mexico. Voila, it pays for the wall. So please stop pretending we don't have ways to do this. There are many things I despise about Trump, but he's 100% right about what he is currently trying to do, which is at least deport the criminal illegal aliens. They didn't respect our border, or our laws, so why shouldn't we send them back home?

    Proving to the world that one has zero insight is even worse, because it shows not only lack of knowledge but lack of judgmental self-perception too.

    Good, when you actually encounter Marxism be sure and let us know. In Britain Obama would be considered centre-right, but I guess US politics has moved so far to the right that anyone not resembling Attila the Hun is a Communist.

    In the meantime, which could easily last forever, Americans will have to pay for it.

    MAGA.

    Hey........

    If you like your Doctor you can Keep him....

    If you like your Plan you can Keep it.........

    It's all going to be on c-span for 30 days so we can all look at it.

    Then.........

    nancy p-dopey tells us we will have to vote for it to see what's in it.

    Anyway, my point is obama and the left are the the Grand Poobah's of lying.

    No doubt about.......

    Trump will one way or another extract the money for the wall from Mexico.....

    Are we having fun or what?

    You mean the books he didn't actually write; like Sarah Palin? Whatever happened to that saviour of the right, by the way? I have zero interest in Trump's self-aggrandizing book.

    - - - Updated - - -

    No he won't. Mexico is a sovereign nation and beholden to nobody.

    When were the lovely days of open borders? Certainly not during the Obama years. Obama deported over 2.5 million during his first 7 years in office. More than W deported during his 8 years in office (2 million), and more than all of the presidents of the 20th century combined.

    Anyone actually interested in comparing liers need go no further than polifact.com. Hint: Trump has the lowest percentage of telling the truth of any politician with exception possibly of Anthony Weiner.

    I suppose we could just continue to waste billion$ on failed Obama strategies ....
    http://www.nytimes.com/2015/02/09/opinion/the-case-for-aid-to-central-america.html?_r=0
    or use the same level of wasted funding to promote a solution to AMERICAN problems: illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and crime. Obama and Biden have already wasted billion$ on failed programs. Trumps wall is a sound investment.

    Hey guys, it is now a fence not a wall. And the US will pay for it not Mexico. And construction is not going to start on day one as Trump promised. Three Trump lies on one single small issue may be a Trump record
    although he has plenty of time to do better.

    Well wait, maybe he alrady has on the Russian election hacking issue where his wshy washy waffling is becoming hilarious.

    Guess you didn't actually read the article or perhaps you need to look up the meaning of " request ". This is the proof your article supposedly has of wasted money.

    " The first debate involves the Obama administration’s request for $1 billion in next year’s budget for development programs in Central America, a funding level that would roughly triple the assistance Washington currently contributes to the region."

    Trump lies. That's what he does. And you fall for all of them, every time. But it doesn't matter, does it? Trump is a proven liar, FACT.

    His acolytes don't want to hear that. Just as long as he won any lie, distortion, dissembling, flip-flop is irrelevant. I guess that says as much about the moral principles of his fawning worshippers as it does of the man himself.
