I need a fence too.
Sounds like you need the whole armor of God.

This is a democracy, if 50% lack faith then they have the right to request a wall.

Greater than 50% of the Electorate voted against Trump and his wall. According to a Fox news poll only 30% of Americans want Trump's wall.

And every single poll convinced us that Hilary would win.

Polls are like politicians. They always lie with their statistics.

The national polls weren't that far off — they predicted more people would vote for Clinton. That's what happened.

The election was so close that in pre-election polling only two States, Ohio and Wisconsin, were outside the margin of error. If you looked at the data instead of the hype, you knew that the election was too close to call.

Aren't you an engineer? You should get this stuff.

You're a smart guy. Ever hear about electoral college? That's how we elect Presidents. To claim that Hilary got more votes is like claiming that the losing football team won the game because they got more yards. If yardage wins the game, then the game is radically different. For example, no team would ever punt.

Likewise, with the electoral college system, many conservatives in Blue states like NY, OR, WA, CA, VT, CT, NJ, etc. just don't vote for President. Why should they, because their vote is insignificant.

Good point, we aren't a democracy, we're a republic. It's all about the electoral college. These last comments from Trump are despicable as president of the US. I just cannot imagine the electorate not being energized over this.

Still, I blame the Democratic Party for his election due to their treatment of Bernie.

All Presidents swear. Are you so naive? LBJ was famous for chewing out those who opposed.

America is so bored to death with this liberal fake outrage on the mainstream media. OMG Trump drinks 12 cokes a day. He must be a racist!

The Dems just screwed the Dreamers. The deal is off the table. Durbin chose their smear tactics over real people. So much for the "compassionate" progressives. They just got exposed like Hollywood.

I am well aware of the language used by LBJ and Nixon. That is not my point.

My point is that the President of the US represents all of the people who are citizens. These comments of his were insulting to many American citizens.

The President also represents America to the rest of the world. What he said here is a shameful representation to the rest of the world.

As for "America being outraged" it may be that Trump was able to win by the slimmest of margins, but you should remember that this margin included many people who I expect have since reconsidered their decision to vote for him. We'll know for sure in a few months.

But you'd be singing a different tune if Obama had said it. As you would if Obama went around daily bragging about himself, and inflating his crowds, so forth and so on.

It's not the expletive per say. It's the racist implications. Haitians are black, Norwegians are white.

Not your omniscience again. Not fair. We don't have that. We're clearly at a disadvantage.. Either that or you're parroting Hannity.

And Trump called it a "bill of love" too. He can't be a racist. He loves those brown people. So much that he'll give up his wall for them. Stupid dem's.
