Trump on Border: We'll Call It "The Great Wall Of Trump"
Real Clear Politics ^ | 08/20/2015 | Staff

Posted on 08/20/2015 1:35:37 PM PDT by nhwingut

On FOX Business' Mornings with Maria, presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke with host Maria Bartiromo about building the "Great Wall Of Trump."

DONALD TRUMP: You know, interestingly, the wall on southern border, it's - really, if you think it's 1,000 miles but it's 2,000 miles, but a lot of it - some of it's done - it's done poorly by the way, what they have done is very poor, very poor work, a very poor job, and very -- not much of a wall. But you also have natural terrain which is automatically a barrier, which is a good thing. So you're talking about 1,000. And then you look at the Great Wall of China that was built 2,500 years ago. It's 13,000 miles. And we're really talking about something more than a little more than 1,000 miles. So it is something that can be absolutely done, not done at tremendous cost. You know, it's been costed by politicians and they came out with these outrageous numbers.

Salon is reduced to just stringing together ever longer lines of words to try to gin up an emotional leftist hate mob.

They call it a wall but it’s really a fence. A wall would be covered in spray paint in no time.

Trump is a master of rhetoric, sloganeering and marketing. You have to hand it to him. Just keep using it for good, Donald.

He’s a real life Tony Stark. He loves his name on everything.

The construction of a truly serious wall will be the biggest money saving project in US history!

The wall doesn’t cost, it PAYS!

Another thing to remember, an illegal woman who cannot get over the border cannot have an anchor baby.

Here is something that will happen though! Mark my words.

We cannot build the wall exactly on the demarcation line between the US and Mexico. Women will come to the wall and have babies in its shadow and democrats will try to claim that those babies are US citizens...it will happen.

Good for Trump!

I might still consider Cruz, but even as the best of the rest, he's way, way behind Trump on this issue. To catch up a bit, Cruz needs to clearly state he will build a wall, deport illegals, and back away from his recent baby-talk about "Legal Good; Illegal Bad.

Everyone is going nuts. Their little pretend ‘comprehensive’ garbage talking points are now forever blown to pieces. Americans are now going to ask if it deals with walls, deportations and anchor babies.

Trump has flipped the script on its head.

Would anybody care to take a stab at diagramming one of The Donald’s sentences?

No.....but don’t most of us talk just that way when excited and telling a story?? My family sure does.....most of us are smart enough to get what he’s saying....he’s not used to talking to third graders that have to have everything spelled out.

They’re trying hard to get the Leftist Hate Mob (but I repeat myself) going, but they just can’t get any traction.

I didn’t know there was anyone else left on earth who knows about diagramming sentences!! :)

I’ll bet you probably even know the difference between using fewer and less—makes me crazy!
