By the half-way point of the first Democratic presidential debate, three candidates and one moderator had spoken in Spanish, some attempts more fluent than others.

The bilingual gambits began with former Texas Rep. Irish Bob O’Rourke, who for his first question began by speaking his second language.

O'Rourke, 46, was responding to a question about whether he would support a marginal individual 70% tax rate on highest earners. He responded in Spanish translated to: “We need to include everyone in the success of this economy. But, if we want to do this, we have to include everyone in our democracy. Every voter needs representation, and every voice must be listened to.”

Glad I missed this snoozefest.

And Robert (I won't call this phony Mexican "Beto")

“We need to include everyone in the success of this economy. But, if we want to do this, we have to include everyone in our democracy. Every voter needs representation, and every voice must be listened to.”

First of all, we have a republic, not a democracy.  Second, when is this inclusiveness you speak of going to include Christian, heterosexual, English-speaking conservatives?

They don't know where they live.

Scratch virtue signalling unless you enjoy Press 1 for English forever.

I've often posted:
Take me back to 1954.

Let's go back to the way EVERYTHING was back then.
The good AND "the bad".
It was fine with me.

Robby O'Rourke sounded like he barely passed Spanish I. His accent was inauthentic, to say the least. Spanish with a doper-hipster-of-Irish-descent accent, perhaps.
