I am proud to be a member of the Grand Old Party of Massachusetts. I wanted to express my support for Donald Trump’s pledge to have Mexico build a wall along the border. I like public works programs. If Mexico pays to build a giant wall, they’ll be able to provide jobs for a lot of their citizens. I was recently in Mexico and I saw a lot of extreme poverty, one-room schoolhouses with no electricity, street beggars and skinny kids and elders. The Mexican government ought to engage in a giant public works program. It’s a good idea.
I hope Hillary Clinton adopts this idea as president. I will be crossing party lines to vote for her in the general election.
Mr. Trump has good ideas, but he’s a dangerous rabble rouser. I would rather vote for a powerful and competent executive like former Secretary of State Clinton.
