Hillarity will ensue. I wonder if he will be greeted by a mariachi band like he was in Scotland.LisaL

(1,415 posts)Ok Clinton campaign better not be asleep at the wheel We may laugh at this what if trump gains from this ? Face palm wtf we should be countering this garbage People are easily fooled Ok rant off/ maybe i am being paranoid but GWB got elected twice

(170 posts)I was paranoid too, but many on msnbc are saying it's a lose-lose for him. I think his hispanic voters are set in stone for the most part.
Unless Obama and Co. have already gotten to the Mexican Pres. and he is going to tell Trump to his face they aren't building his dumbass Wall this could make Trump look more Presidential.

(48 posts)Trump has done nothing but bash Mexico whenever possible. Let us not forget that Donald called Mexicans a bunch of rapists and criminals.
Anyway, Trump isn't winning the Hispanic vote, no matter how many threats he makes against them.

(2,897 posts)This seems like a trap. It's also such a lose/lose situation. Nieto is unpopular and could boost his numbers by confronting someone even more unpopular. Trump is going to look like a fool if he goes and try to embarrass the President of Mexico with his strongman act on immigration, but if he doesn't, the #softening continues.
vadermike
(1,415 posts)You are right but I think this is not to get Hispanic voters but to get back the white voters that are educated that he needs to win so he looks presidential and then the media boosts him with the debates and i hate to say this but Hillary could very well lose at the last minute Look at 1976 Ford lost but almost eeked it out at the last minute Maybe I'm paranoid I know this is a different election but the Clinton campaign better have a plan to counter this shit

(5,939 posts)Clinton campaign get in the ball God help us if this man wins because of the bullshit

(27 posts)Trump could be over there making "Deals". "Of course you're not going to pay for the wall, because there won't be a wall. Laughter all around". Trump says he know the game of buying politicians so this would be right up his alley. Hillary needs to get off the fundraising trail. Tomorrow is going to dominated by Trump again. Helicopters and news crews following him from Mexico to Arizona like a high speed chase. Don't known what to think.
If we lose then we see fucked because the is a major tactical error from team Clinton geez us God help us the media is gonna be ga ha over this What was the Clinton camp thinking when they didn't accept the Mexicans president offer to meet ????????

(170 posts)Mind on what he thinks about Mexicans. If he gains any votes from this, he will lose the same amount. Unless he makes a deal, which he won't.
