LOCAL, STATE AND NATIONAL MUSINGS

Mackenzie Español


After I wrote the post on Wednesday about Trump torpedoing Ryan Mackenzie with his Bad Bunny rant, I was wondering how long it would take Mackenzie to try and make nice with the valley's Puerto Ricans. On Thursday he had himself photographed with some Latino officials. I expect a trip to the island is also on the horizon.

Will a couple photo ops be enough to help Mackenzie come November...I doubt it. I think if he really had bucked the boss, if he had reprimanded Trump at the time, that would have played very well with the Latino community. 

Mackenzie is playing the odds. He wants to keep his MAGA support, and do damage control with the Spanish speaking voters. I think that his real problem is going to be with the independents, not the cross-over Democrats.
