Many liberals are in shock today, refusing to acknowledge the reality that Donald Trump is America’s president-elect.
Regardless of whether Democrat Hillary Clinton squeaks out an edge in the popular vote, this much is clear: The nearly 60 million of Americans who voted Trump into office are not, as Clinton once claimed, “irredeemable.”
That those 60 million of our countrywomen and countrymen voted for Trump should not come as a great surprise. For them, he projected strength and change at a time of extraordinarily weak and liberal policy from our current president. Obama has doubled our national debt; he’s presided over the lone AAA credit downgrade in American history. His health care plan raised costs for the middle class. He signed an overly conciliatory Iranian nuclear deal and he created a vacuum that gave rise to ISIS, all while expanding executive authority beyond constitutional bounds (as noted by multiple court rulings).

As long as that wall is built union, let's get cracking. Knowing Trump he could make it luxurious, instant tourist attraction.

The wall will have waterfalls and golf courses on it....
As far as unions, they are few and far between in texas...we are a right-to-work state...
I'm not arguing for or against unions, just saying they don't exist in any tangible capacity...

They can pay for the wall by charging admission fees to illegal immagrants coming to this country. Why should they be able to sneak across without paying? Charge each one a thousand bucks and then when they get caught just deport them and they will have to pay again. We might be able to balance our budget that way. Canada might as well do the same thing to keep out Americans who do not like Trump. Charge them ten grand to go live in Canada. This is perfect timing, they can take credit cards at the gates.

Why don't we just shut down some expensive bases in Europe to save money, and divert the DOD personnel who will no longer be there into a national security construction project that is the wall?? Less likely then that bribed contractors or infiltrated immigrants build weaknesses and secret compartments into the wall.
Plus, we can let them shoot people if they see them trying to cross illegally, with tranquilizers of course ... so we can confirm their identity and motives ...

There are some problems there. Virtually any intelligent person knows that Obama came into office just as the financial market crashed. It's obvious he didn't create that.

Salon.com Hillary’s “irredeemable” error: Nearly 60 Million Americans spoke
So this is a first… I actually agree with a salon.com article..
The article contains some of the obvious liberal narrative's (which of been rampant through this campaign) but the author makes a valid comparison to Winston Churchhill and some other really good points…
I will be so happy to see the Obama administration's policy of idiocy repealed at every opportunity… From his innumerable edicts and orders I grow giddy at the thought of striking those down…
And that's to say nothing of the affordable care act repeal...
And to the wall opponents: You are sorely tone deaf to the current of anger felt along the border states…
I have no clue how to work in construction but if need be I will drive down to South Texas myself and help lay bricks for free...
As I watch liberals protesting across every major city I wonder what the media narrative would be if these were Trump supporters had Hillary won…
I think it would be something along the lines of "typical Trump supporters full of hate are not willing to accept the election and blah blah blah"
Anyhow, I was happy to see an island of normalcy in the ocean of stupidity that is salon.com...
My guess is the author will be fired by lunch for actually preaching American values as opposed to liberal orthodoxy..

That's super creepy with gross ramifications.

They should make it like the great wall of china and charge tourist to walk the entire wall, let have restaurants on it, spas and hotels, that will pay the wall by itself.

You won't be getting a wall.
You won't be 'Locking her up'
Unless you really do want to be that country that locks up opposition and builds walls to seperate themselves like countries in the past with ominous music playing over the top.
Reagan wanted a wall torn down, you lot want one built. Won't happen.
