Donald Trump's wall is in the GOP platform

[PJMcK]

Huffington Post's headline this morning indicates that the GOP Party Platform will include the Mexican border wall.

What is wrong with these people? Mexico will not pay for the wall. It will be incredibly expensive, (conservatively, more than $5 million per mile X 2000 miles = $10 billion +). Most US citizens don't want the wall.

But the kicker is that we don't need the wall. There isn't a massive problem of porosity at the US/Mexican border.

This is among the dumbest, un-American things the Republicans have ever done. They're idiots.

Didn't Ronald Reagan say something about tearing down a wall?

1. Calm down. As if politicians keep campaign-promises. This is just to rile up the bigots.

4. You're right, of course

In fact, I'm not concerned at all about the Republican platform. They've always loaded it with goodies for their crazies, few of which they actually try to accomplish.

My reason for posting the link, DetlefK, was to highlight just one of their insane positions.

2. And when Mexico won't build it, he'll get those cookie making elves that live in that tree to do it

Trump is lunacy bordering on performance art.

I hope everything he's done comes out to be one big joke at the expense of the assholes that support him and his over the top rhetoric.

3. Imagine the Republicans reaction when Mr. Trump crashes and burns

It's inevitable that Donald Trump will either fail or bail. It's in his life and experiences as nearly everything he's done has been unsuccessful. The few achievements he's made are de minimis compared to the failures. The one constant is that Mr. Trump ends up being the one NOT holding the bag at the end.

Republicans are going to freak out as the fall campaign unfolds.
