Please tell me how he will build a wall across the southern border AND MAKE MEXICO PAY FOR IT? Just as small example of taking a crazy simplistic idea, that appeals to zealots, and doubling down on it, sending into the twilight zone. Would you really feel good about the prospect of a president trump conducting foreign diplomacy? There are so many things wrong with this man as a human, much less as the prospective leader of the free world, that I cannot take this phenomenon seriously.

You are ahead of yourself with the wall. How is going to sell the wall to the Senate? The Democrats know that immigration reform will never go past the wall. There will be no second step. Therefore, not approving the wall will be their leverage for a broader immigration bill. The problem that you have with Trump is you are educated.
I think he plans upon placing high tariffs on US companies manufacturing their products in Mexico entering back into the US. Also, he mentioned sales tax on US companies that ship their goods directly from Mexico to foreign countries. So, he wants to make it more expensive to produce there rather than in the US. The threat of losing manufacturing jobs will be a greater loss to Mexico than paying for a wall. He is also talking about doing something like that to China. What the hell you think he would do, if these counties nationalized US companies manufacturing plants in their countries, if he pulls the stunts he is talking about?
