If those people think there will be a wall, and that a wall would do any good, then the Republican party is where they belong.. They buy Trump lies.
How can we contact Trump to enlighten him?

True. And those people who thought Hillary was going to give them a free college tuition or increase the federal minimum wage were just as foolish. Yet, fools on both sides were naive enough to believe them.
But, you missed my point. When one side becomes denigrating and feel they are intellectually and morally superior to the other side is not going to make any friends. From 1932 the Democratic coalition relied heavily on American working class voters until they drove them away with condescending smirks. I watched this happen with white Southern voters but it obviously spread to swing states in 2016.

Let's go Brandon!
Respond to one of his tweets, duh.
Count me a skeptic.
I refuse to have a smart-phone. I'm not a technophobe. But I understood how addictive they'd be, how they'd change lives & life-styles before the experts started sounding the alarm about it.
I don't do Faceplant, or Buttpage, or any of that. If I'd like insight into how others react, I obtain it in fora like these.
<<<<<<< >>>>>>>>
Trump may tweet a lot. I very seriously doubt he reads as many tweets from unknown sources as he sends.
- You're right. One could respond to a Trump tweet.
- I doubt he'd ever see it. And even if he did, I doubt he'd respond, or substantially revise major current administration policy.

just post it here......he reads the board......./waves at Trump........
those numbers include illegals stopped at the border
India and Pakistan: The two nuclear powers, with 1.5 billion people between them, have fought four wars since 1947, and continue to face each other down in Kashmir, a territory both countries dispute. In order to prevent Pakistani terrorists from striking inside India, the Indian government built a series of fences and walls to keep Pakistani terrorists at bay. Had it not, it is quite possible that the two countries might be at war right now.
Morocco and Algeria: Morocco built a 1,700-mile system of berms, fences, and ditches to stop the Polisario Front, an Algerian-sponsored terrorist group, from infiltrating the Western Sahara. It took seven years to build, but the result was so effective that Algeria agreed to a cease-fire, ending the Western Sahara war that had raged since 1975.
Israel and the West Bank: The Israeli border wall — well, actually more of a fence in most places — remains hugely controversial because many journalists and United Nations officials condemn anything Israel does, no matter how much precedent exists outside Israel. But, Israel’s fence reduced terror attacks by more than 90 percent, something decades of diplomacy failed to do.
Cyprus: The irony of so many United Nations officials condemning Israel or Trump’s demands for a wall is that the United Nations itself built a wall dividing Cyprus in order to separate Turkish and Greek combatants. While Cyprus remains divided, the wall ended the fighting.
Northern Ireland: Against the backdrop of a decades-long terror campaign by the Irish Republican Army and Unionist violence, the British and government of Northern Ireland built several so-called “Peace Lines,” fences and walls up to 25 feet tall and sometimes running for miles to separate Protestant and Catholic neighborhoods.
Saudi Arabia and Yemen: While the Iranian-backed Houthi militia has launched missiles at Riyadh, why hasn’t it sent terrorists to conduct hit-and-run attacks in Saudi Arabia? The answer is easy. After a series of Yemeni attacks in the late 1990s, Saudi Arabia demarcated the border and built a 1,100-mile border wall.
Saudi Arabia and Iraq: After the Islamic State steamrolled through northern Iraq, Saudi Arabia scrambled to build a 600-mile border fence and ditch system stretching from Jordan to Kuwait. It worked.
Turkey and Syria: During the 1990s, the Syrian government supported the Kurdish insurgency inside Turkey. Turkey responded by reinforcing its border with fences and minefields. The result? Fifteen years of quiet. It was only after Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan cleared many of the mines and loosened restrictions that security declined in both countries. Today, as a result, Turkey is building a new, fortified wall stretching more than 500 miles.
Kenya and Somalia: Over the last two years, Kenya has made good on its promise to build a barrier along its 440-mile border. It may not look like much — as between Israel and the West Bank, it is more barbed wire fence than concrete wall — but Kenyan authorities have said it has reduced infiltrations by Somali terrorists.
Of course, not all countries utilize walls for security. Many others use walls and border fences to prevent illegal immigration.
India and Bangladesh: Beginning in the 1980s, India began construction on almost 1,800 miles along its border with its neighbor. While India justifies the fence in its efforts to curb illegal immigration, they have also cut down cross-border crime.
Spain and Morocco: Spain has long maintained two enclaves — Ceuta and Melilla — on the Morocco side of the Strait of Gibraltar. Both are surrounded by high fences to keep African migrants out of Spain and therefore the European Union.
Greece and Turkey: The land border between the two countries is little more than 100 miles, but this is marked by barbed wire fences and, in places, minefields. While the mines are a vestige of military conflicts between the two countries, the European Union has been fine with them remaining to deter illegal immigration from the Middle East into Europe.
Hungary and Serbia, Croatia: Hungary isn’t shy about justifying its border fence in its desire to prevent illegal immigration by those originating outside of Europe. Greece’s land border may be well-defended, but African and Middle Eastern migrants simply make the first leg of their journey by sea, before moving north through the Balkans. Other European states might tolerate such a flow; Hungary sees no need. After all, migrants and asylum-seekers are supposed to remain in their first country of entry, which land-locked Hungary never would be.
Just because other countries have invested in walls and fences, of course, does not necessarily make them a panacea. But as debates in Congress once again turn toward immigration and the status of illegal (or, in politically correct parlance, “undocumented”) aliens, critics of the border wall are more uninformed than the president they dispute if they believe Trump’s proposal is inconsistent with international norms.

*also Tunisia and Libya since Libya terrorism crosses the Sahel (AQIM) and Tunisia in particular*
And wrong again. The rebuttal memo came out showing that the Dossier was not germane to the FISA court. The Dossier came out after the warrant was approved. But on Fox, it was going to come out, so it must have been what the warrant was predicated on. You just have to click your heels together and say "I believe". and yes, the dossier was originally financed by republicans. Did they forget to tell the court that too?
Nope. The min wage has been elevated by many states without national government bill. Even some cities have raised theirs. Oddly enough, those states are having the best economies.
How about we just shoot his cat?
We were talking about Clinton's campaign promise. The president has nothing to do with states raising their minimum wage.
States have often been more progressive than the federal government: providing attorneys for the accused, minimum wage, legalization of marijuana, health care, gay marriage, prison reform.........

Don't waste your time. Trump doesn't read or listen.
