Fmr. Mexican President: "I'm Not Going to Pay for That F***ing Wall"
--------------------------------------------------------------------

The five remaining Republican presidential candidates debated in
Houston, Texas, Thursday night in their final showdown before Super
Tuesday. Candidates Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, John Kaisch and Ben Carson
all attacked front-runner Donald Trump, who has won three out of the
four primaries and caucuses to date. This comes as former Mexican
President Vicente Fox spoke out in an interview with Univision and
Fusion host Jorge Ramos about Trump's repeated calls to build a wall on
the U.S.-Mexico border, which Trump says he would make Mexico pay for.

Vicente Fox: "I declare, I'm not going to pay for that [blee] wall. He
should pay for it. He's got the money."

Jorge Ramos: "Are you afraid that he's going to be the next president of
the United States? What would that mean?"

Vicente Fox: "Not at all. Not at all."

Jorge Ramos: "What would that mean for Mexicans?"

Vicente Fox: "Not at all. Democracy cannot take us to crazy people that
doesn't know what's going on in the world today."
