The malignant ogre that has been a key fixture of American politics for the better part of the last decade stands a coin flip’s chance of being re-elected. And I am genuinely at a loss to explain how we got here.
Saluting a flag doesn’t make you patriotic. Standing for an anthem doesn’t either.
Antonio Banderas received a Platino Award last year in a ceremony in Marbella, Spain. The actor took the chance to call for more Latino unity across Spanish-speaking countries as well as to recognize that the United States is where he has ironically seen the Latino best come together.
So far, the lack of qualified, serious, trustworthy candidates running for president in 2016 is pretty notable. And yes, the election is still a year away.

In other words, he’s weak on Republican principles. But is that necessarily a bad thing?
