Comentarios from Maria: Mexico a sham – Trump reverts to form in immigration speech
Maya Angelou once said “when someone shows you who they are, believe them; the first time.” If we had all taken those words to heart, no one would have been surprised at Donald Trump’s recent, highly anticipated immigration speech that he gave this week in Arizona, where he doubled down on his most draconian plans […]
Comentarios from Maria: Desperation and a Srategy to Divide
Every time Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump opens his mouth it is usually to say something terrible about someone or to insult entire groups of voters.

Comentarios from Maria: Is Melania ‘lying and crooked’ over her immigration story?
Donald Trump has made immigration a cornerstone of his bid for the presidency.

Comentarios from Maria: Chaos, Crisis and Cruz: The Trump Convention So Far
This has been a GOP convention in 4-D: dissonance, discord, divisiveness and dishonesty.

Comentarios from Maria: An Interesting “Uniting” Strategy Directed To Republican Critics
The real estate mogul, Donald Trump, continues his tour of the United States seeking to “unify” the Republican Party, and those who don’t already supporting him, will be destroyed politically in the process. This is Trump’s strategy to unify the party, which was deployed last week in the state of New Mexico in one of […]
