Javier Morillo

I am a classic conservative Jordan guy, Mike Franklin.

I am Democratic strategist on the Puerto Rican heat, Javier Morillo.

I am GOP strategist and Twin City sugar, Brian McDaniel.

And I am Minneapolis cultural correspondent, Allison Nessie.

And like these debates just highlight that, that euphemism.

Well, and with, uh, with, uh, you know, with, with Damon and Klobuchar, I think Damon kind of needs Klobuchar to make a mistake, which is something that Amy Klobuchar generally does not do.

But, you know, I think, and I think Javier alluded to this a little bit.

I think that the, Klobuchar is not going to go up there and make a policy gaffe.

One from Javier Morillo and one from Jimena Ospina.

Both stories highlight some aspect about feeling like an outsider, which is something we could all relate to.

Without being Latine, that's a universal experience.

It all adds up and makes a real difference.

Speaking of which, now we need to take a break for some ads.

But when we come back, we'll hear our next story called Howdy Partner by Javier Morillo.

Again, what if I
