Money. The answer is money...

and if you don't take the bribe money you must be a Nazi!

Or you could just be more discrete when you take bribe money.
Also helps if you can say "I have money! Why would I possibly want more?".

Donald Trump Hits Hillary Clinton For Hypocrisy on Border Walls
Trump calls out Clinton for her support for Israel’s separation wall
Donald Trump cites Israel’s illegal separation wall to justify banning Muslims
TRUMP: HILLARY OK WITH ISRAEL, NOT USA, BANNING MUSLIMS
Trump liked Israel's idea so much, he stole it from them. Hillary, Cruz, and Rubio slammed Trump for it. Are they indirectly calling Israel out? Those buttcracks must be so chaffed from straddling the fence.

they're not straddling the fence. they're jumping on one side, screaming self-righteous nonsense, then jumping clear to the other side and doing it again.

They can do that from state to state at rallies, but eventually, they are going to have to stand on one position at the debates. Just waiting for someone to ask this question to get them to commit. Hillary better stick to one side to. I just don't know which one she's on yet. She wants to label Trump as a racist for wanting a wall, but then she says she voted for some type of wall too.

You mean to say that politicians are two faced? Do tell.

LOL, I forgot about Israel's walls to keep "them" out. Hell, Israel has had prison-type walls for decades now separating entire Palestinian villages from one another. You think Hillary, Cruz, or Rubio complained even once about them to Israel? They're building another one.
What you're describing is called 'cognitive dissonance'. I learned that term right here on Voat last year from a Voater describing Reddit, Redditors, and the SJW mentality. Good for me, not for thee.

Right? Trump is Israel's biggest ally, after all, he's just taking a page from their book.

Trump isn't a Zionist, but he does like Bibi and Israel.
[–] chodie ago
Yeah, I know.
[–] whitesaresubhuman 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Any neo-liberal Zionist who dares say America is too hard on Muslims has either no shame or no self awareness.
[–] Temnozor 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
people finally realizing that the supposed "conservatives" care more about Israel than their own country was one of the best things this election

Hillary may be for a U.S.-Mexico wall like Trump too. Or maybe not.
[–] voxelchild ago
Pretty much every issue with Hilary. It's becoming almost as hilarious as Trump.
