“The superficial usage of Spanish by a white politician to appeal to the Latino vote, in addition to the Clinton campaign’s decision not to pick a Latino like Julián Castro for vice president, does reveal a long history of the Democratic Party taking the Latino community for granted”, said Jimmy C.

Trump has mostly been spared the wrath of outside protesters here. Inside the arena, supporters of Bernie Sanders interrupted speakers on occasion to chant their views.
Last week’s Republican National Convention was surprisingly silent on abortion altogether. She appeared with her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly.
