Jog, that was then, re: Reagan.
Technology has advanced possibilities so much beyond the ability of a physical wall, etc.
If you have 100 issues, and can only agree upon one issue to repair, is 99 problems/issues, better than 100?
And consider as well, maybe fixing one, might then reveal a fix, to problem number 98.....
remember how conservatives reacted to that approach with the Iran deal?
I know, apples and oranges but kind of the same concept. can't do one thing because of 1000 other things we want too
I have always asserted Obama with "credit" of trying to do SOMETHING DIFFERENT with the M.E.
I believe he humbled himself, when he reached out to those who have a different core belief, regarding life, than what we believe in our constitution......
In other words, he offered an olive branch, they rejected it.
All the other attempts were from a strength, and power base, backed resolution, and that has never sustained anything.
I fault him when he didn't accept the fact that his overtures were rejected, and moved on to some other ideas.
To me, I believe he just "doubled-downed" on his idea, and that stubbornness of character is the same thing I dislike about Trump....
How many folks will have to tell him we do NOT like your tweeting, etc, before he listens?
The money to Iran, same thing, its why it was done so secretly.
We now know, it didn't work, again.
Lets see if we can learn from it, not keep beating a dead horse, however.
I only mention this because you brought it up.
