Hey, great job, Hillary peeps!
Waiting for an ad comparing Hillary to “my Bubbie”
Predominantly Hispanic Twitter users are criticizing Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for a post on her website Tuesday that noted similarities between herself and Hispanic grandmothers….
According to her campaign team, Clinton is similar to other grandmothers, or abuelas in Spanish, because she reads to children before bedtime, highlights one’s accomplishments and works to help women gain respect….
Wow, Hillary! I didn't know you're also a Salvadoran Civil War refugee whose husband was killed and had to flee to the US! #NotMyAbuela

#NotMyAbuela why do candidates think it's ok to throw out a Spanish word w every sentence and expect Latino votes?

But she’s not just La Hillary, she’s tu Hillary. (see WaPo article, which is reasonable.) https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/politics/2015/12/23/hillary-clinton-offends-some-with-grandma-pitch-latinos/QzRstlzeW6xZSugfH7XqvK/story.html
My advice Hillary…Feliz Navidad. Tis the season. And it’s a good song.
The correct word for this is “Hispandering.” (I wish I had made it up myself)
I wonder if she can say “I don’t feel no ways tired” in Spanish?
La abuela, Hillary: “It’s far time that there be a woman in the WH.”
El abuelo BillyJeff: “You’re too late, Hillary.”
