We don't really care about out-of-staters mispronouncing Nevada - just bring money. coupe's belief that we are so backward that how our state name is pronounced by visitors is a big deal to us displays a bias on his part that does offend.<br /><br />I was a crowd control volunteer at the rally yesterday where Trump attempted to be funny by telling a joke about the correct pronunciation of "Nevada". He either screwed it up (ever tell a joke on stage?) or the person who told him the joke screwed up. At any rate, the punch line involved one of Trump's friends being shot for mispronouncing "Nevada" while visiting Nevada. Trump mixed up the two pronunciations. I wondered how long it would be before Trump critics jumped on the error. To spin such a small error into anti-Mexican racism, as coupe does....<br /><br /><i>"...I think he's now insulting the Mexicans by telling them their Spanish pronunciation is wrong, and they need to start talking like New England white people."</i><br /><br />In point of <b>fact</b> Trump gave a "shout out" to the latinos in attendance at the rally (most of whom raised their hands and voices in response) and thanked them for coming. Hmmmm, odd that coupe did not relay that information, it being directly on point to coupe's remark and all...<br /><br />Yes, I am attempting to make a point about truth and Trump.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04595633612191616524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-65761858905966290512016-10-06T07:02:49.393-05:002016-10-06T07:02:49.393-05:00Paddy O said...

Explain once that quotes and situations are being cherry-picked and distorted and answering questions about them by explaining how the quotes are cherry-picked takes time and does not address the issues confronting the American people. Does it matter to the unemployed whether or not Trump called a fat Miss Universe "Miss Piggy?" Those who want to know should go to the Trump website. And then Trump talks about the issue. And do the issue instead of the gotcha every time thereafter. "The American people want to hear about the issues and this is what I am going to talk about." Russia, Gold to Iran, trade issues, immigration, debt - the Obama legacy, the fact that Hillary promises more of the same.<br /><br />And if the moderators are biased (if!) then Trump appoints himself the Trump moderator and points out once how the Clinton moderators aren't doing followup questions for her and are interrupting him "And this, folks, is how the mainstream operates these days.
