I thought Jebbie spoke fluent Spanish.
He’s a democrat in sheep’s clothing?
Plenty of water.
Always have plenty of fresh water close at hand.
Jebster only speaks Spanish at home.
Jebster speaks only Spanish at home is what I meant
How much of that 8% do you think they’ll get by giving away the country?
Jeb has a Hispanic wife, so obviously he must learn Spanish to understand what she is yelling at him for when she is mad! But Jebbie won’t be able to give a long speech in Spanish. Besides he is an Anglo.
