...declare that his "we will build a wall between the US and Mexico"...was intended to be a figurative wall...not an actual wall.
Walls really don't work. The Great Wall of China; Hadrian's Wall; Trajan's Wall; the Maginot Line (essentially a wall); the Blackwatch Wall...they never really work. You can go over 'em; around 'em; under 'em.
I think Trump's best bet is to call his reverence to a "wall" a figurative one...and figure a way to create a wall that he can claim will keep illegal entry to an absolute minimum.
But the question is: When will he make that move? (And what kind of "figurative" wall would he mean?)
Anyone?
If Trump pivots and says that the wall is meant to be figuratively instead of literally then it will increase my support for him even more....declare that his "we will build a wall between the US and Mexico"...was intended to be a figurative wall...not an actual wall.

The Maginot line held out to the very last, only being taken out from behind, as the German forces proceeded into France from Belgium.
Next time bother to educate yourself before speaking.

So...you are saying it held?
Or are you saying it held until...blah, blah, blah.
Educate yourself before blundering, Paleocon.

I don't think he really has to.
I am content to recognize it is unlikely he will actually build a great wall.
However, Trump is not stupid. He could do any number of things implying both that he remains sincere in building some kind of wall while not actually building one as massive and costly as some think.
what do you mean? what move?
It held against frontal attack, which is the entire purpose of a wall.
No one expects walls to hold when both sides are controlled by the enemy. That's not how things work.
Try reading the whole post again.

He definitely is not stupid.
We have his word on that.
I am guessing that he will work his way around "the wall" question by using a "figurative wall" argument.
I'm just wondering if he will use it early during the campaign...or only after being attacked on it relentlessly.
Any thoughts on that?
If he does it will be after the primary, probably at some point during the general election debates with Hillary when the issue is challenged by debate moderators. If follows, it'll be ugly.
It DID NOT WORK. NO WALL OF THAT KIND WILL.
Jeez.

I think a good hit of LSD and a certain album by Pink Floyd would do him a world of good....

I think once he has REALLY been hailed at the GOP convention as the chosen Presidential candidate he will begin his typical marketing tactic of "modifying" his stance to suit the new market requirements.
I'd predict we'll see some changes pretty soon after the convention is over.

Exactly. Walls are a static defense, and can easily be flanked.

Hi Frank, hope the golf is good. I hear the links are fab out here in Western Wa these days, lots of abnormally warm days, several records already, the grass loves it.
Go global warming.
THe answer to your query is that he will give up his wall in negotiations, most likely after he gets in the chair.
