    Really very funny.  I really like and liked it.

    But it doesn’t quite feel right, as it does not show respect for the names that those groups choose to call themselves.  (I live in a County where 40% of our residents are Native Americans, the dated name “Indian” is kinda jarring.)  I believe that it would be more respectful to say “A Native American, an African American, and a Mexican American walk into a bar.”  

    With that editing a good joke becomes a better one.

    The wife sitting lovingly staring at her beau always creeps me out. Does that poll well?

    Speaking of spouses. If Beto went gay he’d win this election. I’m surprised the Dems don’t have a gay candidate yet.

    South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is gay.  

    Imagine some middle aged slightly graying hunky looking dude named Jeff staring lovingly at Beto. He’d be irresistible.

    For those criticizing the wife, tell me this: How was she supposed to behave? More bored? Somber? Nah, she was fine.

     

    I would like to answer by saying that she should not have been there in the first place. I criticize not only the wife but the husband and the handlers who thought it would look good to have her bouncing on the couch. Did they not do a run-through? Why did they decide to do it this way?

    If she had not been in the entire video, she would not have had to act so unnaturally for such an extended period.

    The Greatest President of the Twenieth Century had Nancy Reagan gazing on him adoringly.

    What’s with the Dams and their onomatopoetic names?

    Beto is a beta male.

    Kamala looks like a camel.

    [redacted as vulgar]

    your turn…

    Hey, Moderator, tell me you didn’t think the same thing that I did, upon learning that Mr Buttigieg is gay. C’mon. It can’t be denied.

    People’s last names should not be mocked.  Maybe that’s just me.

    How about “a diverse cross-section of America walks into a bar”?

    Not the same punch.

    Not at all.  Having an adoring wife is a good thing.  And Reagan would not have become President without Nancy’s love, support and protectiveness.  She gave Ronnie Reagan room to be the great President he was.

    So what am I – a Scots-American?  An English-American? For that matter, my wife is 1/4 French and 1/4 Native American, and 1/2 melting pot American: So what should she be called?

    Nah. I agree on that one. Then again, I have a vested interest in not having my last name mocked.

    “Indian” isn’t dated. Have you still not figured out that grievance-monger lefties swap the terminology just to mess with you? There’s no legitimacy to the game.

    What’s funny is that you don’t object to “Mexican.”

    Being a bit slow, @thesockmonkey, it just now occured to me that our friend @garyrobbins could very well be engaging in a bit of sarcasm.  Or pulling our leg (legs?)

    I think it would be weird if you were called a Scotsman or an Englishman, which is roughly analogous to the graphic.

    Nice.

    What I mean is that O’Rourke’s moniker is meant to appeal to Americans (of Mexican descent), rather than to Mexicans.

    No, he’s trying to get the Mexican voters too.  They congregate in sanctuary cities and sometimes they vote.
