Stark Contrast – Bernie Sanders Says He Will “Look At” Tearing Down Existing U.S/Mexico Border Wall
Conservative Treehouse ^ | 1/20/2020 | Sundance

Wow, this is quite a contrast. The number one policy initiative that helped President Trump win election in 2016 was his promise to build a southern border wall. Several hundred miles of the new border security barrier have been completed with several hundred more in various stages of construction.

During the VICE News Brown & Black Democrat Presidential Forum today, 2020 candidate Bernie Sanders said he would “look at” tearing it all down.

“But Trump will probably skip all debates, I hope.”

I’m with you. I wish he would skip the debates too, at least until there is equality in the debate moderators. One (conservative) Republican moderator for every Democrat moderator.

The debates aren’t about the candidates. They’re about the voters. The voters are disenfranchised when all of the moderators are hostile toward one particular candidate or when all of the questions are posed from a left-wing point of view.

The left cares more about foreigners than Americans. They say it right to the face of voters.

> I won’t make the mistake of giving your prediction any credibility. <

Do you think that the next Democrat president is going to maintain a secure border wall? No way. The Border Patrol will be ordered to stand down. Breaches will be left unrepaired. Etc.

The next Democrat president won’t be a Harry Truman or even a Bill Clinton. He/she will be some sort of “progressive” who won’t chance offending the far left.

The next Democrat that wins the White House will tear it down. They have to in order to appease their base that will want everything Trump did reversed. They don’t just want to beat Trump, they want to destroy him and everyone who voted for him. The left HATE Trump voters. They want them replaced.

This is what politics has come to in America.

The insanity of the leading elite rat candidates grows each day.

This will cost them a minimum of 10% of the independent voters. The ones who never discuss their voting choices.

No wonder they are so desperate for the senate to impeach our President.

Each day the odds of them being defeated by President Trump in an election increase in our favor!

It will probably cost more to
tear it down and dispose of the
remains than it did to build it.
Just like we’re stuck with the
non existant recyclability of
solar panels, the cost would
be passed on to the taxpayer.
It’ll cost billions to build,
and billions to tear it down.

Intentionally dropping defenses protecting our national borders IS an act of treason. Known terrorists are crossing that border.

Aid to a recognized and declared enemy of the United States, what is the penalty for that?

I personally think this is the biggest risk with a wall - a Democrat president tearing it down to keep the flow of incoming Democrat votes coming into the country despite that it is ruinous to the country. I have no doubt every Dem candidate will be jumping on the bandwagon pledging to tear it down. The only thing that would keep them from doing it is proof that these refugees will be voting Republican. lol

It would cost nothing to tear the wall down. Because you don’t have to remove every foot of the wall to disable it. All you need are holes in the wall. Holes here, there, and everywhere. And the illegals will make those holes for free.

All a Democrat president has to do is move really, really slow in repairing those holes.

Side note to Lean-Right: I like your choice of screen name (see my screen name).

Yes, that is true. He neither understands the damage the system he’s pushing for would do (and has done everywhere it’s been tried), nor does he know ANYTHING about social justice - though he and his fellow travelers (like AOC) envision themselves as messiahs who were put on earth to save humanity (and the planet, and the trees and animals on it).

He’s dangerous, and arrogant.

They won’t care. They’ll wait until night, tell a compliant and complicit media to go home, and quietly murder everyone in the way. They are socialists, don’t forget.

Actually, he will need to keep it standing and then add a new one along the US-Canadian border and add minefields and machine gun turrets to keep folks “yearning to be free” from his new and glorious Socialist People’s Republic of the United States. And don’t forget about his importing former members of the KGB and Stasi to teach the border guards and FBI in their new ways of policing the country.

This guy is a raving Moonbat if he thinks this will sell. If it were up to me, I would force this dipshit to look at the mutilated American bodies MS13 gangs leave behind.

100 miles, or 20 per cent, is documented by the Border Patrol people.

Bernie Sanders Says He Will “Look At” Tearing Down Existing U.S/Mexico Border Wall.

Translation: He knows he has no chance of getting elected so can say anything.

If Sanders becomes President, he’ll erect economic walls to keep Americans from defecting with their wealth.

And gulags for the deplorables who didn’t vote for him.
