Nope.

It all about how one is doing (or potentially will do) personally (or at least the perception of that). Notice I put the emphasis on YOU. People vote their own interests. Most other things are noise.

No.

Tearing down things just for the sake of tearing them down is Trump-talk, and very stupid. Populism works for a while, and then people come back to their senses.

I was just apart of a very violent Hillary supporters rally. I assure you the violent ones are Hillary supporters.

Makes sense. Each administration undoes what the previous administration did. Carter put up solar panels on the Whitehouse, Reagan took them down. Every time the parties exchange power it will mean rebuilding the wall then tearing down the wall, then rebuilding the wall.

The dems work overtime at repopulating the US as Mexican. Their goal is to never have a rep in office again. They hope to do that by over running the US with illegals.

Just look at CA's politicians. They are defiant at keeping the flow of illegals coming into the US. It is really sad how screwed up dysfunctional the US is.

The great news is we can thank Prez Donald for working so diligently to protect the USA! But CA may already be lost. We may have to build another wall around CA before we are finished. Whether Muslims or Mexicans...infiltration then takeover is how it is done.

It is the long term goal of Mexico to reclaim the territory the US had taken from them in the 1800's. The way the reclamation is accomplished is by massive influx illegal aliens and legal immigrants from Mexico as well as convincing non-Mexican liberals to act as allies to their effort. Once the voting population is high enough to act, they vote in Reconquista friendly politicians that facilitate more illegal immigration.

Sanctuary cities are set up to help the illegal aliens assimilate. The state eventually becomes populated by a majority of voters whose goal is Reconquista.

Once the numbers are sufficient, the state will vote to secede and leave the United States and can then be reclaimed by Mexico.

The states under reclamation include:

California
Nevada
Arizona
New Mexico
Texas
Utah
and parts of
Colorado
Wyoming
Kansas
Oklahoma

Here is a proposed map of the reclamation plan.

The Democratic politicians are operating on shaky ground.

They are leaderless, clueless and out of touch with lots of the American people.

If they keep up the violence, promotion of a far far left agenda, they might as well not waste Soros money running a candidate in 2020.

I just cannot wait to watch Hillary Clinton waddle from town to town, pledging that she will use The Clinton Foundation to tear down the wall.

If Trump creates jobs and the economy takes off, the Democratic Party's biggest problem won't be their 2020 campaign slogan.

But a report in May 2009 by the Congressional Research Service found "strong indication" that illegal crossers had simply found new routes.



Also.....if you note the bottom of the page you posted; it even says that it's source is Wikipedia. lol

Nice try though!

The wall will be a disaster. It will get 1/5 of the way done at most and be billions overbudget
