.@MayorPeteSaenz Donald Trump just used you and the other councilmembers to make him look good. Embarrassing for South Texas and Hispanics.

(4,695 posts)1. Would have been a great time for the Mayor or the Democratic Party of South Texas
give a speech down the street from Trump, to talk about how Free Market Trade Deals have and will continue to degrade Mexico and the United States as supported by the GOP. Hopefully, the Progressives made this a town hall meeting and I just do not know about it.
Hopefully the Democratic Party could send out some fliers on destructive trade deals of the past and the bad about the TPP and other current trade policies, so the message can go viral on both sides of the border.
Trump is one bad apple in a barrel of rotten apples in a barrel labeled, GOP.
