Trump didn't say he wants Mexico to build the wall. He only said he wants Mexico to pay for the wall.
And that's easily done: Just stop all foreign aid to Mexico, slap on extra fees for Visas for Mexicans visiting the U.S., etc., etc. -- I'm sure other creative ways to shift the cost burden to Mexico so as not to put the burden on the U.S. taxpayer can be found that would be supported by Congress. And Mexico knows it, for all the X-rated bluster of Vincente Fox to the contrary.
It's time to play hard ball. The Donald knows how to do that, thank you very much.
Don't forget the Harrisons!

I agree. Trump said he’d have Mexico pay for it. When asked how, he always mentions the 55 billion trade imbalance as the answer. IOW, they do a lot of business that benefits them, so some of that money will be tapped to have them pay for the wall.
So far as a national unity ticket, on the republican side it would be something like Trump/Cruz if he gets this Canadian thing quickly straightened out.
That would unite Trumps moderates and blue collars with Cruz’s very conservatives and evangelicals.
Perhaps Trump/Kasich, although Kasich is sort of slow speed. But it would throw a bone to the establishment and help Ohio go red instead of blue.
In terms of putting some old democrat on the ticket, I think all of the Zell Miller variety are dead and gone. There’s not a single one I would trust any more.
BREAKING...... Worse information needs to known by “We the People” and “For the People” to be spread wide around. Bill Bennett is not a NOBODY !!!
