¿Viste el debate? No, yo tampoco. Oh, excuse me...what I meant to say was, did you watch the debates? No, me neither.
And I'm glad I didn't, because snips of it were trapped in a
continuous do-loop of sound bites all the live-long day. Immigration seems to have been a big theme, with
several candidates breaking into Spanish to address voters. Way to unify the
country, Democrats. Pander to the illegals, not to the
lawful citizens.
Do these presidential hopefuls truly believe that Americans--and I
include Hispanic citizens--won't see through this condescension? You can call
it patético, or you can call it pathetic, but everyone understands when
they're being patronized. From what I've heard from the debate so far, I don't
think President Trump has much to be concerned about when it comes to the 2020
election.
Is last night's collection of characters really the best we can do
for presidential candidates? And, as if last night hadn't been painful enough,
a second debate is being televised tonight. Nobody can tell me Americans aren't
strong.
