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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
