Iceland tossed all the bad bankers and has shown remarkably low
tolerence for this sort of shenangans since the recession. Kind of
admirable. Putin will just toss someone else under yet another bus, or
tank, and doesn't really care. Remember it's a dictatorship. What
credibility does a dictator need? Only that his bad asses are badder
than his threats bad asses. Anyone who is running for the pres is
going to be insulated from those financial transactions. Even so don't
forget Whitewater and how that was sidestepped..

Can't rock the boat too much or you end up like what Iceland is going
through right now (and good for them, btw).

I am incredibly interested to see if Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and/or Hillary
Clinton / Clinton Foundation have bits about them in the Panama Papers. That
could have a very interesting and lasting impact on this election.

Guys, I am not a Trump fan boy, so let’s make this disclaimer up front.
However, there is a LOT of street smarts in this guy. The
negotiation is just that… a negotiation. IF he gets in, and starts
this process and is bound and determined to make it happen,
extremities can be discussed (or thrown out there as shots across the bow), and
then adjustments get made.
The point of a wall WILL be built, coming from him, gets it started,
and having Mexico start to feel the pinch (in whatever way that takes)
will get people’s attention.
Is “the wall” THE answer to immigration challenges? Of course not. Is it
helpful and one part of the total solution needed? absolutely. There IS
NO border with the U.S. right now. What is there is a façade. Trump
is crude and I wish he would tone down the rhetoric a bit (for
everybody’s benefit, including himself), but this country needs action
in so, so many areas and nobody seems to have the gonads to do
anything that isn’t buried in PC or politics or corruption or power or all of
the above.
I acknowledge that I may be naïve or optimistic on the subject. But,
I still believe in America and its strength and there is been
absolutely nothing done in recent time to maintain or increase its
strength… only further dilution and division and flailing discourse at
an unprecedented level historically.
Not a Trump fan, but “let’s have some balls and fix our country fan”
