   Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (ALMO) has won the Mexican Presidency.  The Hard Left Populist said it is not up to Mexico to fight America’s drug war and instead proposes giving amnesty to opium and marijuana growers and ceasing the use of the military against the cartels.  Isn't this enough to change the narrative on building a border wall?

      If marijuana laws keep changing and the president diapers having to be changed. Then Americans and Mexicans keep rdfusing to pay for the wall. Then Trump will be out long before the wall gets finished

         Keep telling yourself that - let's get serious and think about things - IF and I mean a big IF the Democrats or Herr Mueller had anything even close to pin on the Donald, it would be coming out before he gets a second Supreme Court nomination - the left can see that the court will take on a conservative majority for the first time since 1934 and IF they had any ammo, they'd be using it now.

      Not for me as I've always supported the wall.  And for those that want open borders I doubt it will either - that thousands (millions?) become addicted to Mexican opium is another part of the price we as Americans should pay to support people of other nations.

   Trump has only figured out how to use the wall to sell himself. He never figured out how to use himself to sell the wall.
   
   1. Most Tourist are not interested in seeing Trumps big beautiful, powerful flag waving wall. Best thing Regan ever did was asking Berlin to tear down their wall
   
   2. The proposed wall would have no impact on drugs smuggled by passenger vehicles, tractor trailers, cargo trains, small boats or ultralight aircraft.There’s a lot of wildlife
   
   3. We know Trump is an environmentist worst nightmare. Mexico boarder geography is pretty unfriendly is really twisty and some of it is in a river. A wall would prevent animals reaching their hunting lands, water sources and migration corridors. Grey wolves and jaguars hunt on both sides of the border. Other cross-border populations of wildlife include bison, bighorn sheep, ocelots and bears as conservationists have warned.
   National Park in West Texas, home to thousands of species, including more types of birds, bats, and cacti than any other national park in the US. The political divide went down the middle of that river because the ecosystem is whole and protected,”
   It takes two nations to do so.”
   
   4. Trump is a huge scammer. They may build the wall and Trump won't pay them, like he did with me on a contract. He has the world record for Lawsuits.
   
   5. Cost of wall homeland security quote from 25 billion to 70 billion by Democrats senator. All that cured by a 25 dollar latters and planes. .
   
   6. Trying to get hold of the land is a nightmare. Government needs permission to use the land it stands on.About 66% of land along the US-Mexico border is either owned privately, by Native Americans or by individual s government.Thousands of homeowners could be affected, including ranchers in Texas - they rely on access to the Rio Grande and pastures for their livestock.

      Castle, those on the right have no idea about logistics so you're wasting your time trying to explain simple things they should already know. But then, they thought Spanky was an honest person as well.
