Miami Republican donating $2 mil to help Hillary Clinton w Hispanic outreach

Adam C. Smith, Times Political Editor

Tuesday, September 20, 2016 1:12pm


Miami Republican billionaire Mike Fernandez is donating "over" $2 million to help Democrat Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

The money is intended to "focus on Latino outreach and registration in Florida," according to an email Fernandez sent Tuesday obtained by the Miami Herald. Fernandez, a top Jeb Bush donor in the GOP primary, formally endorsed Clinton earlier this month.

Fernandez wrote that he's never met the Democratic nominee and she's far from a perfect candidate. But he added he can't "support a Party I no longer recognize."

"I specially call on all Latinos to reject a man who encourages violence against you," Fernandez wrote. ..........................

Here's What Millennials Have Taught Me

By Hillary Clinton


Sept. 19, 2016

We hear a lot of things about the millennial generation. But too often, the people who are busy trying to define you are the ones who have spent the least time listening to you.

Here's what I have learned: Your generation is the most open, diverse and entrepreneurial generation in our country's history. And if we work together to take on the barriers that are holding you back and unleash your full potential, that won't just improve your lives — it'll make our entire country stronger.

From the first days of this campaign, you have shared the problems that keep you up at night and the hopes that get you up in the morning. You've reached for the opportunities that come with a college education at the highest rates of any generation in history — but faced ballooning tuition costs and crushing student debt like never before. Many of you entered the workforce during the worst recession since the Great Depression. And you've come of age during two deadly, costly wars in the Middle East.

And yet, despite all these challenges, you've never given up. Not even close.

Instead, you're leading the way to a brighter future for all of us. You've fought for some of the most important accomplishments in our nation's history, like the Affordable Care Act and marriage equality. You've come together to challenge our country to protect human rights and strengthen families by fixing a broken immigration system, reforming our criminal justice system and ending the era of mass incarceration. And you've demanded that people of color be able to live their lives without fear of being killed at a routine traffic stop.

And it's nothing short of inspiring.

With that "dayum librul medja" practically fellating trump every 5 seconds, I'm surprised we've even heard that anyone else is running for Prez.

This is how Trump is defeated. Basic human morality over Party loyalty.

I just heard that "billionaire" Mike Fernandez (who doesn't even know me) is supporting Crooked Hillary Clinton by providing a few dollars for Latino outreach even though Hillary only sees Mike Fernandez and other Latinos as numbers, not people.

Sad!!!

Registering voters is always a good use of time and money. It's even better when it is done on behalf of helping a Democrat.

How is THIS:

"I specially call on all Latinos to reject a man who encourages violence against you,"

(the underlined italicized part) not DEPLORABLE? How is HE not DEPLORABLE? How are those he's exhorting to do violence against Latinos - how are THEY (those he's speaking to and stirring up) not DEPLORABLE?
