Lol. Unlike the Trump platform of tax breaks for the 1%. Because that was SO popular.

However Robert "Bob" Francis O'Rouke is neither. To the best of my knowledge he is not claiming to have brown blood of any Latin/Hispanic culture.
He just wishes to benefit from the ignorant perception of some brown people who might believe he is, and thus vote for him.

Your perception is that a non-Mexican couldn’t POSSIBLY embrace Mexican culture. Yet, there are people like this in the Mexican-dominated parts of Texas. I truly believe that Beto sees Mex-Americans as equals where Raffas Cruz is the opposite- He has scorned his heritage and embraced the dominant anglo culture of Texas and generally views Mex-Americans and blacks as inferiors, inconvenient voting blocs that he is forced to deal with.

Ummm, I’m not the 1%, but I got a better tax refund last year, and will again this year. Guess you need a better tax consultant.

Don’t blame Trump for your ineptitude.

Nah.
I hope Warren twists Trump's tail long, hard, and very often. She's not terrible to me, and she does have a real platform; Trump lies when he says he's for the working man, but not Warren.

I don't know if she'll win the nomination or not, but for sure, she's going to teach Little Donny a thing or two about how to talk to the common man.

Yeah. I love how all Trumpsters got SUCH a great deal while the rest of the country knows it was a complete sham.

I don't think Warren's tremulous voice (she always sounds like she is on the verge of tears) will inspire fear or confidence in our enemies and allies.

It sure gave Trump a serious case of flop sweat. He's scared to death of her. That's why he still attacks her so often.

He’s only worried that she might back out!

Trump being scared of Warren is like Jerry West being scared that banjomike could beat him one on one.
(That’s Jerry at his present age... 80!).
