Trump is a populist, and a demagogue. Ordinary people, the target of a populist, tells the ordinary people what they want to hear. Don't try to play semantics games with me, you'll lose every time.
Oh, no doubt... you like to apply your own definitions to words on the fly like Hillary... claiming that "open borders" she was speaking of in her secret speech to Bolivia was referring to "electrical power lines." Because, that's the first thing we always think of when someone says "open borders!"
And I don't suppose you consider her pandering to every special interest group and minority under the sun to be "demagoguery" in the least, do you? Of course you don't... she's just looking out for "the people" ....oops... maybe that makes her a populist?
Congress can pass a law, for political reasons, and never fund it. You must know that. Do you really want an economic benefit, and one which will protect our Southern Border, provide jobs and create harmoney between us and the Mexican people?
Yes, and presidents can sign executive orders to implement things Congress already approved and can include the funding for it in his budget. If Trump is elected, the wall will be built... count on it.
As for Mexico... couldn't give two shits about harmony with them. We're going to realize an economic benefit and open up jobs when we get rid of 10 million illegal aliens and stop the flood of illegal immigrants coming across our borders.
Here is a solution: Build a canal from the gulf of Mexico to just south of San Diego, using the Rio Grand and the Tijuana Rivers, large enough to accommodate Ocean going vessels going in two directions. Imagine the solar energy which could assist in such a project, and later provide energy to the entire SW. Both Mexico and the US would provide jobs for a decade or more, and both could pay for such a development. Then the vessels' toll for transit would pay for much of the maintenance, and with some foresight we can imagine development along both sides of the way of such a wonder of the new world.
Well, now we know you're a whack-a-doodle... if there was any doubt whatsoever, it has been dispelled. You obviously have no idea what kind of a project that would be and how much such a thing would cost. I'm not the least bit interested in providing
government-funded jobs. That costs us money we do not have and is counterproductive to the economy. And solar energy? Are you serious? Solar panels are going to dredge a 3,000 mile canal? In what fantasy universe has that ever happened?

Yeah... let's all suspend reality and imagine fairy tales like a whack-a-doodle liberal! ....Jeesh!
