Something I was thinking about with the debate this past week:

Do you all think there will ever be a Spanish language debate, like the Canadian PM candidates have a French language debate?

Some reasons why it might someday happen:

- Large, politically competitive Spanish speaking community

- Both parties already run ads in Spanish

- Spanish speaking population is growing

Some reasons why it may not happen

- Spanish speakers in the US are much more assimilationist than the French Canadians are

- There's still an active English only movement on the right that would probably object

- There isn't an expectation of Spanish fluency of most politicians
