Albuquerue Hispanics already got a Burn; but can we help Trump force Mexico to build a Wall?

I'm buying thousands of imported, rotting Mexican tomatoes to provide to insulted Hispanic voters, at the upcoming TRUMP rally, in Albuquerque! THINK OF IT: FREE MEXICAN TOMATOES TO PROVIDE FOUNDATION FOR THE WALL! We can toss them to Trump, allowing him to teach us ways to build the "Mexican Wall." But how will we get Mexico to pay for it?

Voter Voices From Bernie Sanders' ABQ Rally
By Marino Spencer • 5 hours ago
More than 7,000 people gathered in the Albuquerque Convention Center on Friday to hear Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders speak. It was just hours after he spoke at the Santa Fe Community College. Enthusiastic supporters waited in a half-mile-long line for nearly an hour and hundreds were turned away when the venue was full.

KUNM’s Marino Spencer chatted with folks to find out why they’re ‘feelin’ the Bern.’

Republican presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump will rally his supporters in Albuquerque on Tuesday. Former President Bill Clinton will rally for his wife, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Tuesday in Española and on Wednesday in Albuquerque. http://kunm.org/post/voter-voices-bernie-sanders-abq-rally

1. Oh no you don't bury this OP Trump-trolls. I live here! Go back to the FreeperZone

While my readers give it recommendations without comment - well, because any ghost eventually gets a bad reputation - or, readers are kinda dumbstruck by a realization, I'm still not going to succumb to Trump-trolls, Freepers, or other scum.

2. It's pretty late - even on the West coast - for this Opening Post to be pushed to the bottom.

Here at 1: AM, MTZ, I'll leave it for hoot-owls and foreigners. The Freepers are getting younger as we get older... good night all.

3. Great picture, Jeffersons Ghost!

Will be anxious to see the crowds that come out for the late-comers (Trump & the Big Dog) today and tomorrow.

6. Although our New Mexico Gov. is a Republican, her comments toss Trump a tomatoe...

Gov. Martinez won’t attend Trump rally in Albuquerque

Gov. Susana Martinez will not be in the audience when presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump makes a high-profile campaign stop in Albuquerque tomorrow night.

Martinez told reporters after a news conference in Albuquerque today that she will not attend the event.

When asked why, the two-term GOP governor said she was “really busy.”

“I’m the governor of New Mexico and I’m really focused on what’s going on here in New Mexico — just like the announcement we just did with 100 new high-tech and research jobs, improving the education for our kids, another job announcement tomorrow,” Martinez said. “Those are the things that I’m concentrating on and I’m going to keep concentrating on.”

Martinez, who is the chairwoman of the Republican Governors Association, has thus far remained mum on whether she’ll back Trump. Her stance has drawn scrutiny from national Democratic groups, who have called on her to state a position.

KOB 4 NBC TV reports
New Mexico's Republican Governor, Susana Martinez, has publicly stated her opposition to Trump's plan to build a large wall separating the U.S. and Mexico and has yet to endorse him. Her spokesman, Chris Sanchez, has not said whether or not she will attend Tuesday's event at this point.

But the head of the Democratic Party in New Mexico did not hold back from criticizing both Trump and Martinez.

"Donald Trump's racist rhetoric and reckless policy ideas are not welcome in New Mexico. Trump's candidacy has brought the worst out in our country, and as Democrats we denounce his harmful attitudes toward our Hispanic communities, his offensive comments about women, and his outlandish policy ideas," Democratic Party of New Mexico Chairwoman Debra Haaland said in a statement Thursday. "Governor Martinez's skittish behavior about giving him her support is a clear indication of how divisive his candidacy has been." http://www.kob.com/albuquerque-news/donald-trump-rally-set-in-albuquerque/4143508/#.V0RhTeSm0n7

The news on a local radio station 99.5 FM also reported Martinez disapproved of several comments by Trump; but the picture is from a similar report at KOAT ABC TV 7:

5. Good, I'm glad he finally made it out here.

I saw a couple of bumper stickers at the health food store today. I haven't seen any Trump or Clinton stickers around here. Something tells me they're going to be pretty understated, especially the Trump chumps. This is a heavily Hispanic state where white folks are just another minority so Trump's going to be one hell of a hard sell.

7. Mexico and Canada will both build walls this century, to keep hungry U.S. Americans out.

The U.S. Border Patrol will still exist, their duties subtly shifting to shoot, arrest, and otherwise harass unpatriotic U.S. citizens trying to leave.

8. If Trmp wins, I'll climb a Canadian Wall, after Trump also forces that nation to build one...

Trump actually needs four rubber walls and a nice wrap-around jacket.
