Some good, sound thoughts around the proposed wall along the border
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37243269

How far is Trump willing to go to have his idea realised? One thing is what he says, another is what he is actually willing to do. Then there is the issue with saying one thing and doing something else and how that flies with his supporters, not to mention with Mexico should he go more extreme. The previous Mexican president was not following diplomatic protocol when he said what he thought of the idea.

So aside from the fantasy world of cartoons and movies do you have any real life objections?

He usually does ... don't break his spirit better than arguing about Clinton or Trump

wouldn't it be funny if Trump won even with all of his mistakes

Oh yeah. If she isn't a criminal then she is strikingly incompetent and maybe she's both! I think the fact that Clinton isn't beating the pants off of him shows just how weak a candidate she really is.

I am willing to concede that Hillary is not technically a criminal based on the fact that, so far, she has not even been indicted of any crimes.

But I will still stand by my position that Hillary is not ethical... really not ethical... I mean outstandingly unethical compared to the already low ethics bar set by other politicians.

Reagan must be looking down/up at Hillary in amazement of what she is getting away with.

Clinton is the BASF of ethics. She did not invent Teflon politics she just made it even more slippery.... or is the slimy? I gets confused.

Any commoner without the money/contacts/power of Clinton and with her ethics would already be trialed and locked away like a criminal.

Well that worked ok pretty well 50 years or so until the side that built it disbanded. Kind of like the Great Wall of China or Hadrian's Wall, they need to be manned to be effective.

Good way to employ people, but a toll on public coffers.
