I fail to see the point of this conference for both men...

I did not think it possible for a human being to be full of such hot air.

EPN digging his political grave is quite shocking, yes.

There is one Mexican who doesn't seem to think he deserves respect... Enrique Pena Nieto.

I caught that too.  I don't always understand when Mexicans talk fast, but the Mexican president was very articulate and I think I caught every word.  It was a good speech.

FWIW, The Donald is giving a pretty good speech too.  We'll see how the newsmedia spins all this.


DAMN!  I may have spoken too soon.  He is alluding to the wall, and saying that the Mexicans will share in the burden of its cost.

Honestly, I'm worried this could play very well for Trump.

It looks like both will actually take questions, contrary to previous reports.

Q: "Who pays for the wall?"
A: "We didn't discuss that."

How. How did they not discuss that.

I thought it was gracious overall.  I'm not a fan of Trump, but he generally stuck to the script, which was fairly well written.  Except for that wall bit, it was smooth.  Then again, lots of gringos actually want the wall, so even that might be a positive for The Donald.

I'd like to hear the questions but if I don't get out by about 4:40 it gets crowded on the streets and it takes far too long to drive home.  I'll read about it tonight.

Hasta luego.

Nieto: "Mexicans have felt offended in what [Trump] has said... The intention is to meet with both candidates so we can build together"

All I learned from this is that the Mexican president is very weak -- why didn't he hammer him on the stupid wall or Trump calling his people rapists and murderers?

I guess this was a good look for Trump... who knows if he'll actually capitalize on it.

It seems like most of the headlines are going to be about the wall and the payment of it, not sure if thats good or bad for Trump.

Something tells me the Mexican people aren't gonna like him calling Nieto "my friend". Good look for Trump and a horrible one for Nieto.

I'm reserving more judgement until the Phoenix speech.

Not sure what Nieto was thinking. No way he looks good from this, and he handed Trump a major win on a silver platter.

They both look good and benefit from this. Our countries also benefit. This was a great day for US-Mexico relations.

I don't think you really understand the optics of this event in Mexico.

You know it was good when Ana Navarro was praising Trump and Hillary's former communication director says this https://mobile.twitter.com/howiewolf/status/771087015387533313

LOL at the red avatars who think the president of a foriegn ally should attack the potential next president. It was good regardless of who you support for the two of them to patch up any issues.
