    No there really isn't. He never even implied that we would juggle some things and change a couple other things and save enough money to pay for a wall. He said Mexico would pay and making them would be easy. If they don't pony up, you don't get a wall period.

    I guess you missed the word contract. I was a contractor for over 20 years, and I always wanted 25% down and everything properly sighed before I buy one thing for the job, no exception.

    I don't know where you're getting the impression I'm "outraged". I'm not outraged about anything, I'm a pretty chill guy for the most part. You sound a lot more outraged than me.

    Yea you can, especially when you consider that it's never going to happen. It will languish in court for decades while expensive lawyers haggle about emminent domain and myriad other obstacles. There are far more effective ways of managing border security in the 21st century than a stupid wall which was always just a trope to rile up supporters. Even the campaign aides are coming out to say so as we speak!

    Now you're just projecting like a partisan hack. When did I ever say anything on this thread remotely relating to Obamacare? Oh, that's right, I didn't. You just made that up out of whole cloth; strawmanning like a talk radio jock. Think I didn't notice? Think again.

    I actually think Obamacare is a hot mess but, let's be honest, my premiums were rising up to 30% per year before Obamacare. Plus, the insurance companies had a gazzilion excuses as to why they wouldn't pay out or even offer coverage in the first place. That's not to mention the millions who had no insurance whatsoever and for whom such cozy conversations were totally moot. Sure, they could visit the emergency room for a sticking plaster but guess who ends up paying for that?

    No worries though because Trump's going to offer us all super amazing yummy coverage that's going to cover everybody and be so mega cheap you wouldn't BULLEEVE it!

    Oh and that didn't happen either.

    Obama didn't write the ACA. You know this don't you? It was actually a carry over of a Republican idea passed by Mitt Romney in Mass.

    I would wholehartedly support a replacement but, as evinced by the recent attempt to replace it, current congressional Republicans aren't interested in actually offering people superior, cheaper, healthcare. They just want to nudge things closer to where they were before at the complete behest of the health insurance industry and to heck with consumers and the poor and uninsured. Their last attempt at a bill proved, beyond doubt, that they just don't care about that at all.

    Because when we deport a visa overstay, the only way back in is across the open border. The guy in San Francisco who killed Kate Steinle was deported and came back 5 times, the guy in Nevada or Utah who killed Sheriff's Deputies was deported 8 times and came back. The wall cuts off the route for deportees to return.

    So there won't be a wall and Mexico ain't gonna pay for one. Glad you admitted that Trump is full of hot air.

    He thought 'we' would understand the dynamic nature of a complex endeavor.

    The lyrics of this old tune is cogent.

    "You never count your money

    When you're sittin' at the table
    There'll be time enough for countin'
    When the dealin's done"
    The deal(ing) isn't done. Count then high-n-tighty.

    Are you kidding me? Obama knew he was lying. Hilarious that anybody could ever defend him for this.

    And no, nobody is saying one lie excuses another, this is simply a glaring example of the lefts overwhelming hypocrisy.

    Also, trump clarified his comments about making mexico pay for the wall in an interview when he was explicitely asked about it. The left conveniently ignores that though.

    Dude, it's a prototype. We test prototypes to failure. Then we improve the design with the knowledge gained.

    Of course you know this. Why the dishonesty?

    Watch, I assume you'll never fly again:

    Dishonesty? You are judging by your standards here then? Seems like you are overreacting, is the Trump dream on the way out?

    I don't give one ****, about about that stupid, weak ass implication. The idea that he somehow spoke above my limited understanding.....well that just goes to show how desperate some have become.
    And what exactly is the Kenny Rodgers trip?
    I don't think a game of cards is in anyway reflective of the wall deal or lack thereof.

    Bull ****. Try again.
    How STUPID exactly, are republicans willing to be?
    Restructuring tax payers dollars is not the same thing as Mexico paying.

    Yeah, that's not the same nor is it even close to the claim made by the greatest negotiator in his own mind....the laughing is at not with you.
