Yup that sounds like normal ad tactics to me. My wife is a Salvadoran and while my Spanish comprehension is almost decent, I don’t have the hang of the accents yet. She swears they are pretty different.

As to the ads being in Spanish in the first place, rule #1 of political campaigning is meeting your constituencies on their own terms, or at least trying to look like you are.

That doesn't stop Oldglory with his usual grousing about ANY Spanish, regardless of accent, being spoken in public, especially in the politcal arena.

Yeah, true. I wonder what some folks would say if the GOP started running a lot of ads in Spanish appealing to social conservatives. Which, I would argue, they should have been doing for decades.

Yep. In Florida for example, Jeb Bush ran a lot of Spanish language media and so does Mario Diaz-Balert and Marco Rubio. And all those above are fluent in Spanish.

Why do you find target marketing offensive?
