Vision means knowing what you want to do, not just what you don't want.

View original postHe says it simply: The US needs a southern border. The Dems don't mind because they think Mexicans will vote Democrat. At least as long as they view themselves as a minority, btw.
Fairy tales like a wall funded by Mexico, or a smooth, painless mass expulsion of 11 million people are not a vision or an election program. Trump's entire campaign consists of whining about what he doesn't like, but whenever he announces any actual plans on what he'll do instead, they are either complete nonsense, unaffordable or liable to changing every other day. Or all three at the same time.
View original postI recall meeting a very pretty Turkish gender studies or political science student in Tel Aviv doing her "Palestine" tour and she seemed baffled why her fellow countrymen vote hard left when in Germany but then vote hard right in Turkey.
She's not the only one baffled on that point... there's been some similar cases here in Belgium, with left or far-left Belgian politicians of Turkish origin who were linked to the Grey Wolves - an ultranationalist, borderline fascist Turkish organization. Though I'm not sure what the link with Trump is?
A couple questions for those of you living in Europe, Britian, anywhere but the U.S.

I was referring to the Democrats' perception of Mexican long term support to their cause.

Fair enough then, but I wouldn't overestimate the Republican appeal in the long term, either.

a funny thing happens when a political party denigrates an entire subculture of their country

You mean the subculture that flies another country's flag & sends $20 billion a year to Mexico?

Obama did have a vision. He didn't really realize much of it, but still.
