Donald Trump spent more than a year rousing crowds with a simple promise: "I'll build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will have Mexico pay for that wall." As the campaign wore on, it got so he could ask "Who's gonna pay for the wall?" and the audience would roar, "Mexico!"
It was fun while it lasted. But now, in the cold light of day, some facts are coming into focus: It may not exactly be a wall. It won't be paid for by Mexico. And it may not get built.

Media still playing with speculation didn’t work last time their Stalin logic still in use.
Utter defeatist nonsense. We put a man on the moon and developed nuclear power...we can build a damn Wall. Hell, the Chinese built a far bigger one centuries ago. Sheesh.
Townhall.com seems to be trying to replace Newsweak.
Especially that idiot’s speculations. When is Townhall.com show that moron the door?
They will pull out more stops as their base wavers. Desperate..desperate. One hundred years of hard work blown by the choice of a totally incompetent candidate and message. They just may resort to civil war.
Rome wasn’t built in a day. Neither was the Great Wall of China. Mexico will pay one way or another.
It will get built anf Mexico will pay for it.
What nonsense. The government has been taking bids for a 30 foot smooth concrete wall as we speak. Some Congressmen are trying to get a tax put on Mexican remittances to pay for it, and Trump has not backed away from the promise that the funds will come from Mexican money in the end. What is this Chapman guy talking about, or is he just spreading propaganda that corresponds to what he wishes were the case?
If they want ANY respect ASAP.
Barf AND hurl. Had to read it :)
Yep.
Who in the hell is steve chapwoman and why should I give a fat rat's ass.
A. There WILL be a wall......This isn’t rocket science.
B. Mexico WILL pay for the wall-—indirectly-—by the reduction of remittances out of this country to Mexico & other Southern countries. Place a 50% tax on every dollar being sent by Western Union, & OTHERS, AND THE WALL WILL BE FUNDED.
c. THE WALL will BE PAID FOR BY THE REDUCTION OF SUPPORT & BENEFITS CURRENTLY STOLEN BY ILLEGALS FROM EVERY SINGLE STATE. IF CALIF IS SPENDING 17.7% OF THEIR ENTIRE BUDGET ON ILLEGALS, THAT MONEY WOULD BUILD 3 WALLS. !!
D. If Trump needs start-up money to prove his point, he only needs to establish a ‘go fund me’ type of system & see how fast average Americans will send money. I would send at least $50 & I live on just over $1100 a month Soc Sec. I am pretty damn sure that I am NOt alone in this thought.
The Dems voted for the wall & for the funding-—in 2006. After 11 years, it is time it was actually done.
Townhall is part of the #NeverTrump Salem Witch Media empire, along with fellow traitors at HotAir, Twitchy, Human Events, Redstate, and Right Scoop. Their articles should be boycotted by all Trump supporters.
What simple minded BS.
Well that’s Steve Chapman, so what do you expect?
You won't find one.
Didn’t give them a click. Why post this happy crappy?
Even so it is not required.
