Donald Trump - who Fox News said literally will be at the center of its GOP primary debate on Thursday - is already feeling the heat from network hosts.
On Tuesday, Fox's Bill O'Reilly grilled the billionaire businessman on his claim that as president he will get Mexico to pay for a wall on the southern U.S. border to help prevent undocumented immigrants from crossing into the United States.
"Bill, they're making a fortune, Mexico is making a fortune off the United States, it's becoming the new China in terms of trade -- they're killing us at the border," Trump said after O'Reilly pressed him twice on the same question.
The third time O'Reilly asked, Trump said, "I'm gonna say, 'Mexico, this is not going to continue, you're going to pay for that wall,' and they will pay for the wall. ..."

No, it was loaded straight onto an empty dry van.
No cooling blankets, paks or anything.
I was still on the dock when the Mexican driver pulled away. He just shut his doors and left.
As to the time from El Paso to Mexico City, I don’t know what the road conditions are, but I expect it’s lengthy.
The trailer was one that wouldn’t be allowed on US roads. No ICC bumper, most of the lights knocked off, and looked like it should have collapsed at least a year earlier.
The tractor looked like A 1970’s model.
All in all, not confidence inspiring.
A friend of mine has been to Mexico many times, his advice was don’t ingest anything not imported.
:The shame is that there aren't seventeen messengers with the same message!
Or limit government aid to a "what's in it for US?" basis. Foreign aid can become charity freely given rather than a transfer of stolen wealth to countries which may not even wish us well.
When I was young and lived in California, we took a day trip to Tijuana once. Our host told us three types of beverages were OK: carbonated, imported or alcoholic. The locals especially favor the later.
I don't disagree, but it will not be undone by a president that obeys the Constitution and the law, because congress actually agrees with most of it. If we had a cultural revolution and sanity returned to congress then yes it could all be undone.
A new President can rescind Obama’s memoranda and EOs with Congress. I think that part could be done by a Trump or Cruz and perhaps a Walker (maybe). I doubt Bush would change any Obama EOs. :-)
Well thank God for that. With all the illegal filthbag mexicans already sneaking into our country and raping and murdering, we sure do not need mexican trucks smashing into anything and everything here.

"A 10% fee on all money sent to Mexico will get that wall built fast. 23 billion sent last year, 120 billion in total for all countries."

Something to remember about Rick Perry, he spent a lot of time supporting a “trans America” highway stretching from the Texas/Mexico border to the US/Canada border.
It would have been built using US tax dollars, but open to most Mexican trucking companies.
That would have been the foot in the door for the Mexican drivers.
I’m no fan of Perry’s.
Nor am I. So far, I like Trump/Cruz. Perhaps we'll all know more after this evenings first debate.
I have always been a strict constitutionalist.
Cruz is my dog in this fight.
I will support Trump if he gets the nomination. I did hold my nose and vote for McCain and Romney. I respect Trump much more than either of them.
I will be watching the debate as well. I spent the early morning reminding everyone I know to watch it.
I STILL have more confidence Trump could do what he says than I do for the promises of ANY other professional pol.
Works for me...
