Maybe—some of the native Americans there are so isolated, they never learned Spanish: note how some of the so-called “vulnerable children” crossing the border, speak only tribal languages.
Sorry, that post before was not directed at you...it was directed to the author of the article. :)
Okay, sometimes I feel they’re directed at me and then I’m also guilty of doing the same.

The idea isn’t bad, but I think it might crash and burn in reality. You can’t just become fluent in a language overnight. If he hasn’t used it for years and would sound stupid, then it would backfire and the Dems would try to make him look like a carpetbagger. (Or “Uncle Juan” or whatever.)
I *do* hope his father, who presumably speaks excellent Spanish and is also well-versed in public speaking, will run around to every Spanish-language TV channel etc. and speak on his son’s behalf. I think he could be really helpful to the campaign. I presume they’ve thought of this already. (Hope so!)
