I noticed telemundo did not have comments on the President Trump interview, and so I looked at the Nuevo Herald in Miami. it is a McClatchy company so I think it is a bit left. All the comments I could find were to the right. I think them speaking Spanish was not well received. Seen for the pandering it was. There is something good and motherly about Washington, the grand old benevolent National Asylum for the helpless. - Mark Twain The Gilded Age #CNNblackmail #CNNmemewar | |||

The look on Booker’s face when that weirdo started speaking Spanish was hilarious. I’m obviously not a fan of Spartacus and his murder eyes, but that was funny. | |||

The always-erudite and cutting Daniel Greenfield summed it up best: On a sweltering night in Miami's Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, a 90-year-old building slightly older than Joe Biden, 9 candidates with no shot at anything and the tenth, the first fake Native American candidate, gathered to humiliate and be humiliated on national television. On a set designed to look like a cardboard cutout White House, 10 cardboard cutouts of candidates, hoping to sit in the real White House, frantically searched for their 15 seconds of fame, while ignoring moderator questions and going over time... ...9 politicians with no future met up on a stage, made promises that they don't understand and will never be able to keep, recited simplistic talking points, and doubled down on every radical position. And the tenth, Senator Elizabeth Warren out-radicalized them all. The losers would almost all clamber back into the Iran nuclear sellout. Almost all of them wanted to ban guns, borders, and the economy. None of them had much in the way of a plan. All of them had rhetoric. And that's all the loser debate amounted to... Debate of the Losers 9 radicals with no shot at being elected to anything redistribute each other’s time. https://www.frontpagemag.com/f...rs-daniel-greenfield "Some things are apparent.

I'm triggered by all this talk in Spanish. Why isn't anyone speaking Italian? There are Italian immigrants. Why isn't anyone speaking Vietnamese? There are immigrants from Viet Nam. Why isn't anyone speaking Korean? There are Korean immigrants. Why isn't anyone speaking German? There are German immigrants. Why isn't..... See my point Demoshits? YOU ARE PANDERING AND IT COULDN'T BE MORE OBVIOUS! ASS-HATS!! "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D.

Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

The answer to that is very simple--the immigrants from those other countries did it legally and learned English as part of their plan; many Hispanics didn't. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

It truly is quite embarrassing and any self respecting hispanic should be pissed at the prospect of being used as a pawn in someones political game. Sadly, I think that time has passed with the current crop hemorrhaging from our southern border. "And I think about my loves,well I've had a few.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politi...onald-trump-n1023086 The winner of the first Democratic debate: Donald Trump Analysis: The Republican commander in chief emerged from the scrap largely unscathed, while several of his would-be rivals took aim at each other instead. President Donald Trump was the chief beneficiary of the first debate night dynamic.Carolyn Kaster / AP June 27, 2019, 12:46 AM CDT / Updated June 27, 2019, 11:57 AM CDT By Jonathan Allen MIAMI — President Donald Trump was the big winner of the first 2020 Democratic debate. The Republican commander in chief, who was on his way to an economic summit in Osaka, Japan, emerged from the scrap largely unscathed — barely mentioned at all — even though he is a uniquely antagonizing and energizing force for Democratic voters. At the same time, the 10 candidates who were in the room here at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts often competed against one another to appeal to narrow subsets of the primary season electorate. Their jockeying, punctuated by efforts to outflank each other to the political left and conduct a middebate Spanish-speaking contest, could alienate swing voters important to the party's chances against Trump in November 2020. For long stretches, it seemed, they completely forgot about the man who has been at the center of pretty much every discussion among Democrats for the last two-plus years — the man they're competing to take on next year. The obvious reason: The motivation to beat each other was, on this night, more urgent than defeating Trump — a life-or-death moment for some of their campaigns. Trump was the chief beneficiary of that dynamic. Of course, he was occasionally thrust into the spotlight, such as when Washington Gov. Jay Inslee identified the president as the greatest threat to the country — a line that drew hearty applause from the crowd. But for the most part, he was an afterthought. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., suggested that was intentional. "You can’t just make this all about Donald Trump," she told MSNBC's Chris Matthews in an interview after the debate. "He’s an old show that people are getting tired of.” Instead, she said, voters want to know what Democrats plan to do with the presidency if they win it. Warren accomplished her pre-debate goal of delivering the message that the economic and political systems need major structural changes if lower- and middle-class Americans are to see their standing rise. Her charge was a little different from that of most of the other candidates. As the highest-rated hopeful on the stage in terms of polling, Warren needed only to stay above the fray to avoid losing ground. The others, though, had to prove they belong in the race. Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro slammed former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, a fellow Texan, over the mechanics of a law criminalizing illegal border crossings, and said O'Rourke would understand them if he did his "homework" — one of several exchanges in which other candidates, smelling blood in the water, went after O'Rourke with abandon. Even afterward, Castro — who wants his fellow Texan to fall away — suggested that O'Rourke isn't up to the job he seeks by comparing him to Warren and Sen. Cory Booker. "I find it very ironic that a senator from Massachusetts and a senator from New Jersey are the ones who understand this border policy and this law better" than a former congressman from a border state, Castro said of O'Rourke. Similarly, Reps. Tim Ryan of Ohio and Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii — each of whom seeks to become the first sitting member of the House to win the presidency since James Garfield in 1880 — tore into each other over the war in Afghanistan. Gabbard, a veteran, has called for a withdrawal of U.S. troops, a position in line with Trump's expressed desire to draw down the U.S. presence, while Ryan argued that the United States should remain engaged in that country. Three of the candidates — O'Rourke, Booker and Castro — spoke in Spanish at some length during the debate. While Latino voters constitute an important constituency within the Democratic primary, particularly in states such as California, Texas and Florida, it's not at all clear that politicians speaking Spanish is a key to winning votes — and there was some early evidence that some Latino voters may have been turned off by the exercise. In any event, the potential benefit goes to the individual candidate making the appeal. But the risk of turning off swing voters who speak only English — even those who support bilingualism but simply don't want to watch a debate they don't understand — is shared by the entire party. The other risk shared by Democrats is that losing sight of Trump will allow him to exploit their divisions and position himself for re-election. He was one step closer to that after Wednesday's debate. Some candidates defended the decision to aim more fire at one another than the man they're running to replace. "We’ll go after Trump plenty," New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters after the faceoff. "This was a substantive and respectful debate, it really was. But this is what primaries are about, to sort out who we are. "The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people." "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy." "I did," said Ford, "it is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates the government they want." "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they didn't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might get in." | |||

I fully believe this was all worked out in advance to specifically not mention Trump, you know they were all dying to do so but they decided for whatever reason that their new tactic is to not talk about him. | |||

chellim1, thanks for posting this. It was the best thing I've read in a long time. Hilarious and right on point. Though... its comedic value is really a tragedy given that we are talking about something that can affect this nation's future. | |||

Right on!  "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies.

I cracked up when I saw this clip of Cory Booker doing his Spanish pander. I actually thought he was doing a Schwarzenegger impression. | |||
