Congressional Hispanic Caucus PAC to endorse Clinton

Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus are preparing to endorse Hillary Clinton for president in an effort to help her campaign secure critical Hispanic votes in next week’s Super Tuesday primaries.

Members of the group’s political arm, CHC BOLD-PAC, began polling members Thursday evening to determine if they had sufficient support before announcing their endorsement, which could come as early as Friday morning. Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders have been battling it out for the Latino vote, a crucial voting block in November. And Clinton is relying on minority voters like Latinos and African-Americans to help propel her to the Democratic nomination.

“There was a recommendation for Hillary to receive the nomination for endorsement,” said BOLD-PAC executive committee member Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.), the Hispanic Caucus whip.

“It was pretty easy,” Gallego said. “For most of us that have either been involved with immigration issues or Latino issues, none of us have any history with Bernie.”

1. I guess there's a form to fill out from the Clinton campaign for what to say

2. The last paragraph says it all...

“It was pretty easy,” Gallego said. “For most of us that have either been involved with immigration issues or Latino issues, none of us have any history with Bernie.”

9. Blew right over your head.

11. No need to patronize me.

Blew right over your head.

No need to patronize me, sir or madame.

I understood your metaphor and I found your suggestion that Bernie Sanders is a "working class hero" to be cliched and utterly banal.


With all due respect,

DemocratSinceBirth

P.S. In the spirit of comity if you apologize for patronizing me I will accept it.

[hobbit709]

19. Like I said. Whoosh!

I was thinking of this verse, which I believe applies to someone else

"There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill"

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. I got the metaphor despite your obscurantism...

"I'm sorry" can be the two most beautiful words in the world.

I will accept your apology with magnanimity and grace.

[hobbit709]

21. I would have to feel regret before I apologize. I have said nothing to regret.

"obscurantism"-now there is as often used word.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. It is a cousin to sophistry and casuistry...

[hobbit709]

23. And the definition of obscurantism fits your candidate.

24. I must respectfully demur from your assessment.

5. I'm sure it was easy, look who funds them

You'll never guess.

Just how many of those are rep'd by the lobbying firm Clinton's Campaign Chairman owns?

13. "none of us have any history with Bernie.” Because he hasn't been there. nt

14. John Lennon - "Imagine!" - Hillary Clinton - "No, we can't!"

[DemocratSinceBirth]

18. We (Hillary and us) can work it out

[RealAmericanDem]

16. Bernie has been a politician a long time.

And he has had ample opportunities to really be out there supporting and even leading issues that hit home with the Blacks and Hispanics but it never happened with him. It's not like he's Washington outsider who just came on the scene.

17. No aye nadie como tu, Hillary!
