Why would you close the borders on the 1st day of your pipe dream as president? Every American citizen should be able travel freely country to country! Amazing that you can come with some ideas and know that they will never work. Your policies stink and can't believe you made it this far. I also, amazed that many smart Americans believe you? Well, there are quite a few of us really SMART American can see right thru your ridiculous rhetoric. This goes for all the other candidates in the right wing nut party, policies to fit their needs and forget the rest of the country. I am an American who believes that, "America is great now"!

I was in a restaurant/bar last night here in L.A., eating dinner. There was a discussion between me and two gentleman who were born here, but their parents brought them into this country many years ago from Mexico. One was a manger/salesman for a major parts company. They both become citizens and both work. They were very passionate about living here and know there are some who are causing trouble. To get to the main point, we talk about the wall and closing the borders. They were very upset about Trump and his ideas. One of them said he has family just across the border and would not be able to see them if the borders were closed. That is not right. One of them shocked me and said he was a Reagan follower up to a few years ago and now knows that he is no longer a Republican. This goes to show you how and why the Republicans are losing votes and elections.

We have a problem in this country and I know they all can't be fixed in one day. But knowing what the Republicans want, is way off base and reckless for our future as Americans. I do believe in God and have some faith in the system. I don't wish ill will on anyone, but I prayer that Hillary, Bernie or Joe to win. I may not agree with all they say, but I can't imagine what would happen if they were not the next President. Scary thought! Have a great day and thank you for reading this jumbled up post.
