If it looked bad, it's her own fault. She had 5 days since the Telemundo interview to come up with a better response .... *knowing* ..... that she would be asked about it from, if no one else, the Telemundo girl that was a moderator. All she had to do was name-check the Mexican ambassador and Mexican SoS, both of whom she said in the Telemundo interview that she had worked with, and the whole thing would have been done. Instead, she showed her continued ignorance, which gave Buttigieg his opening. It was all self-inflicted and, to use her own word ...... dumb.
It's because when they build those bridges (green deal infrastructure) over Trumps big tall border wall, there is going to be a flood of Mexicans coming here getting drivers licenses and voters registrations in every sanctuary city.
Maybe if she was seeking the job of trade minister. She was mistreated on a matter that is minor for that venue...
That's not what I said, but near enough. Sorry, to me it looked like you and Red Lily had morphed it into a beauty contest.
Mexico started 2019 as the US's #1 trade partner, with Canada slightly behind. After a slow and steady rise, Mexico is now the US’s number-one trading partner. According to the US Census, for the first six months of 2019, the US and Mexico traded $309 billion worth of goods, just over 15% of all US trade. This puts Mexico just above Canada ($306 billion) and China ($271 billion), making Japan a distant fourth ($110 billion).
It was an observation, at least it was on topic and we've offered other insights. You on the otherhand offered none other than your typical Trump bashing. If you had a problem with what we were talking about, why on earth did you reply? You weren't summoned...
If they really wanted to zing her, they could have asked who the Canadian PM is. She would have either looked stupid if she didn't know or dismissive of Mexico if she did. The whole Telemundo thing happened because of all the Latino voters in those Southwest states. No one made her do the interview. She went to pander to Latino voters and she blew it ..... twice.
Super cool, like your assessment of Iranian missiles @Mushroom Let is now when Iran elects a female leader... \\
So....I made observations as well. I compared and contrasted. You and Red Lilly take the view that a person's appearance is worth talking about (as though it is relevant,) so I am taking up exactly the same point.
There are more than a dozen members in this thread other than myself and Mrs Seal. Others who also talked about the same point. Perhaps you could spread your focus a little wider.
Sorry, I did not see their posts. Can you help me out there with post #s? (I have just had a re-read quickly. Nah, only you and Mrs Seal have taken the cosmetic appearance point.)
The reporter was out of line, it was supposed to be about the candidates. It was a cheap hatchet job on a minor issue that nobody else was even questioned on. I don't care which prog 'wins', because they still lose. Just shows what sort of garbage product the media wants to put their name on. The whole clown show didn't really help anyone get ahead...
All the first 4....'liked' by Mrs Seal...229..is not on point. But.... I'll cop your allegation on this basis. Yes, others raised the cosmetics but only Mrs Seal and Red Lily went in relay. Why are the 'right' bitching about 'cosmetics' of candidates, and at the same time, get all offended when the same silly* point is made back at Trump? Is it really a silly* point? Maybe not, but...if it is to be made.....let's be consistent.
Seems like your changing your argument on the fly..... They said others were also talking about eyebrows too and that is a fact. Is eyebrows a relevant thing? To me no, which was why I never commented about it. Problem with your with point about hypocrisy of comestics is you'd have to show any of those posters talking about Warren's eyebrows getting bent out of shape over a Trump related comestic jab. Seems to me in this thread they were technically talking about the debate as Warren was in it. If I was you the strong argument would've been "So how does Warren's eyebrows affect me and why aren't we talking about things of substance".
Okay......so.....Warren did a great job on Bloomberg. I no longer consider him viable. Who wants a grub like Trump? Not me. Link. Is there no Candidate who comes with clean hands? Butterberger maybe? Stuffed if I know. Amazing how politics in the USA gives momentum to grubs.
I'll do it my way, always. I am not innocent of having a crack at Trump's obvious cosmetics. But, when those who give me a serve about it do the same thing....Ima coming right back at them.
