All English speakers should reject him just for this reason. The United States is not a Spanish speaking country and he’s pandering to a minority and showing no respect for the MUCH larger English speaking majority.

Indeed, that’s what he’s doing...pandering

Yet all they’re good for in his eyes are their votes and to landscape his yard and clean his toilets

That was the only way he could draw more than twenty people. And two thirds of them probably didn't even know who he was, other than a white dude promising free stuff. :)

I expected the Clinton camp to have Kaine deliver more speeches in Spanish, especially in Florida.

Oh good, more pandering from the dim ticket. I wonder if Senor Kaine carries salsa in his purse the way Pickles Clinton carries hot sauce in hers?

I am so sick of how those who speak Papua New Guinean have to listen to people like this Kaine guy jabber in Mexican.

Kaine got less than 500 people today here in the Phoenix metro area.

Pence got almost 2,000 in the same Phoenix metro area yesterday. (I went to that one.)

Well, John Kerry reminded us that he was perfect for any diplomatic job because he spoke fluent French. As if this is 1919.....

What a pandering whore.

This is as pathetic as Hildabeast talking black to a black audience.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this backfires on them.
