Subscribers to this blog remember that I took Mayor Matt Tuerk to task for his trip to the Dominican Republic. Although there are many Dominicans in Allentown, the pandering quotient was blatant. However, now local US Congressman Mackenzie has made the same trip, and to me it's apparent that he's hoping for some Latino votes come November.
Sorry Ryan, but your Commander and Chief has cooked that goose, but good. Your explanation for the trip, about trade and security, are a giggle. Don't expect a big Dominican turnout come midterms.
I can appreciate that you're beginning to find this blog annoying. If you're really intent on Latino votes, you would have to speak out against Trump's ICE Capades, which would injure you with the MAGA base. Good luck with your juggling.
I'm not here to be polite or popular
ADDENDUM: This blog is published every weekday, holidays included.

No one finds this blog annoying anymore, because,no one reads it anymore except a few die hard posters, whom post day after day in hopes of curing the sickness (TDS) within.
ReplyDeleteanon@6:41:The problem for Mackenzie (and you), is that a growing. number of people have what you call TDS, a term which I'm sure Mackenzie is smart enough never to use publicly. When is Ryan going to Puerto Rico?
ReplyDeleteMM - It’s the holiday, so I’ll take a day off from trying to convince you how wrong you are about national politics. That can wait for another day.
ReplyDeleteFor today, Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, and thank you for all you’ve done in the past to keep us informed on Allentown issues.
