nobody spoke Spanish during the two nights of debate...did ya'll notice that?

[CTyankee]

I think I'll leave that here for your comments. I'd like to hear esp. from Hispanic DUers. How did you feel about the former debates where so many would be candidates tried out their Spanish?

I know I kinda cringed...

5. Audios" huh?

Did you mean adios or are you trying for some sort of pun?

9. The Line was let's say adios to President Trump

11. Yep. Thanks. I forgot that. My brain is old.

3. Que lastima.

4. I don't know if patronizing

is the correct word but I am happy they did not. Are they saying, “look at me, I can speak Spanish that means you like me, that means you will vote for me.” Yet, I think it is ok at an Hispanic forum or a mostly Hispanic neighborhood. Perhaps I am wrong. I agree with you, however, it is cringe worthy. Just read that the first debate was shown on Telemundo. That makes more sense. Maybe, someday someone will ask a question in Spanish and those who can will answer.

6. As a Latina I put that in the same category as a politicians flag pin. nt

10. Perfect analogy.

That episode in the first debate was indeed cringe-worthy.

8. I'd rather see correct subtitles in Spanish than hear mangled Spanish. Or...

have questions asked in both languages with subtitles in English when someone speaks Spanish and vice-versa. Or how about making sure that foreign language subtitles are available for several languages and value more groups of Americans??

12. Excellent idea...

14. Gracias a Dios. (n/t)
