If Mackenzie rode Trump's tails into Congress, he may well be riding the same tails out. With gasoline over $4.30 a gallon, that pickup with the flag may be waving it less. While Trump's narcissism may be stoked by renaming things after himself, the pickup driver doesn't share the pride.
I think the clock is running out on Mackenzie speaking up and out. The local Latino vote will be a wildcard. Although they may trend Democratic, both Mackenzie and Brooks are transparent fakers when courting that demographic. How energized either party can get the Latinos for this election is questionable.
I'm offended by the amount of money going into the race. The Republicans are counting on Trump doing a lot of campaigning for them. Trump says that voters should make believe that he's on the ballot. That might not be the incentive he thinks.
Latinos have been in the area for a while now. Many are culturally similar to the rest of us at this point and don’t consider race/ethnicity in their decision making as much as the pundits would like us to believe. It’s a modest factor that will impact the turnout of some first generation Latinos, but I don’t see it turning the election one way or another.
ReplyDeleteI don’t believe hardworking Middle Class Americans are completely unaware of what’s happening around the nation in cities and states where Democrat Socialists (and worse) have taken control. Despite the news media doing its best to hide decisions being made in places like New York City, Seattle, and Minneapolis, it’s becoming more obvious by the day American culture and value is under attack.
ReplyDeleteMiddle Class productive America is becoming a target to provide a source of funding for REDISTRIBUTION to, let’s say, the less motivated in our communities. Voting Democrat keeps us going down that dangerous path.
Brooks can certainly be elevated into office. But, it won’t be with my vote.
