All the counts aren't in, and they seemed to pause things to give Hillary the popular vote for her concession. By only 400 000. But, not all votes were in. There are some rumors going around that Trump actually has won the popular as well.
And because it is tied into the electoral ones the way ridings and votes are in Canada, at least similar, really they would be more matched unless theres voting fraud going on.

Funny thing is a wall wont do much of anything but let's just ignore that.

You won't be 'Locking her up'
Unless you really do want to be that country that locks up opposition and builds walls to seperate themselves like countries in the past with ominous music playing over the top.

Yep, super creepy with gross ramifications.
All the good and right you mentioned has nothing to do with nationalism, or genetic predisposition.
Ignorant to the extreme.

Tell me, how high does a wall have to be to prevent tunnelling?

At least 139 people were killed or died at the Wall in connection with the East German border regime between 1961 and 1989.
•101 East German fugitives, who were killed, died by accident, or committed suicide while trying to flee through the border fortifications.
•30 people from the East and the West, who had not intended to flee, were shot or died in an accident.
•Eight East German border soldiers, who were killed by deserters, comrades, a fugitive, an escape helper or a West Berlin policeman by accident or intentionally while on duty.
At least 251 travelers also died during or after they had gone through checkpoints at the Berlin border crossings. Unknown numbers of people suffered and died from distress and despair in their personal lives as a consequence of the Berlin Wall being built.

That's super creepy with gross ramifications.

Why don't we just shut down some expensive bases in Europe to save money, and divert the DOD personnel who will no longer be there into a national security construction project that is the wall?? Less likely then that bribed contractors or infiltrated immigrants build weaknesses and secret compartments into the wall.
Plus, we can let them shoot people if they see them trying to cross illegally, with tranquilizers of course ... so we can confirm their identity and motives ...

Are you seriously so obtuse to think that a tunnel here and there would offer the same traffic potential as the thousands of miles of open desert that exists right now?
