I'd still think it was pretty much pointless, but sure, if you can snap your fingers and have a wall appear, fine by me.

Interesting.  I think most (IMO) are not against it for cost reasons.

I just don't really see it happening at all.

@saevel25 has quite vociferously admonished us for bringing Hillary up in this thread, because you know, it's entitled Donald Trump for President.  It's OK to talk about Trump's current opponents but evidently not the next one.

Not sure if that policy will be waived once the primary season is over but I'll leave those decisions to smarter folks than me.

Start a new topic on the person you support. Simple.

Seriously? This is the worst election I been through in my lifetime (I'm 56). It's like a Junior High School election with 11-12 year old boys running. Add to that that they started a year ago, and it is embarrassing. You can't be proud of this crap, can you?

I never said I was proud, simply entertained. We have turned into a reality show culture, and the greatest one is playing out right before our eyes.

The unfortunate reality is the most Americans' attention span is simple too weak for typical politics and positions, etc. Trump has figured this out and realizes his path to winning is through capturing America's attention through these antics. It's unfortunate, but he understands what it will take to win, he's the smartest man in the room by playing dumb. 

This is more true than ever:

Saw the pic of Melania from over 15 years ago - provocative but does not show anything - move along... just another example of Ted Cruz stooping (good word) to anything to win.

Entertained? Don't know. A cynic might be entertained. I have mixed feelings. I think it is good to shake things up, but  don't know if it will do any good. I think it says a couple of things -- that most citizens do not enjoy continual obstructionism and they want a leader that they see once in a while and gets fiery when the situation calls for it. So this election seems a result of nothing getting done and a lack of fiery leadership. (Obama, can I say that name?, is far too rational, cool, deliberate and laidback, and seems to enjoy being out of the public's eye -- which is odd. I do not agree with his style/mode of leadership) It's a balance and the balance is out of whack. It's sad and disappointing from all sides, and I hope we come together rather than move farther apart.

Seriously.  And Trumps campaign promises fall right in line with an 8th graders.

"Every day will be pizza or burrito day at lunch!"

and

"I will shorten classes each by 2 minutes so we can add 14 minutes to recess!"

This actually sounds like a Bernie campaign promise, tbh.

He did an interview with the Washington Post editorial board. I'll leave it here without comment.
