I wonder which “Spanish” they want him to speak. There are several variants of Mexican spoken along the border from the Gulf to the Pacific.
That's easy - he'll continue to do what he's always done, support a race-blind Constitution of natural rights for all Americans. Because by "Latino voters" you mean Americans - right?
I say the language of America and Americans is English.
The spanish speakers need to get better at speaking English. Do any of the other minority groups insist on Spanish speakers learning Hebrew, Polish, Mandarin or Hausa?
I say that Juan Vidal needs to learn Hausa and Mandarin.
While learning English or making it your primary language is technically not a requirement for a legal path to citizenship, only a fool would do otherwise. Ted’s father was no fool, and he should be proud of that fact, and proud that because of it, English is now his primary language as well, since that’s what his family wisely emphasized in his youth.
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!)
