HE CAVED!!!!!!!!!!

The headline writes itself and so do the comments. Any pundit with even moderate views should be able to riff off that to hilarious effect for the rest of the day. He was afraid to ask Mexico to pay for the wall. If this is not the main focus of all the pundits "on our side" today, I have to ask why.

waiting to see. Sadly, this is a game changer. The president of Mexico sold us and his own people out today. Let's not fool ourselves.

He looked like he is in way over his head. Scowling silently is not "looking Presidential."

standing there not happy about having to be still and listen to someone else speak. Yes, I agree, he looked like he was scowling too. It was so embarrassing.

Now it turns out Pena told him they wouldn't pay for the wall (duh), and he lied about it. What a trainwreck.

Can you imagine them talking about the wall and not discussing payment? There was no discussion because Pena Nieto probably shut that down right away.
