BREAKING: HILLARY CLINTON CONCEDES TO BERNIE SANDERS!

imageDES MOINES, Iowa (The Adobo Chronicles® ) –  After weeks of campaigning and not getting anywhere close to the large crowds that have marked rival Bernie Sanders’ political stomps, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is finally conceding.

Sanders has been attracting crowds of up to 20,000 in his campaign appearances while Clinton has mostly focused on  small, intimate conversations with big political contributors.

Apparently, Clinton’s campaign strategy has not been working. As a matter of fact, Sanders now leads the former First Lady and Secretary of State in a recent poll in New Hampshire.

This morning, as she made the rounds at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, Clinton told reporters that she was conceding to Sanders.

She is conceding her campaign strategy and will start organizing big, grassroots-style gatherings throughout the country in order to better compete with the senator from Vermont.

TRUCE: MEGYN KELLY AND DONALD TRUMP BOTH GO ON A 10-DAY VACATION

imageNEW YORK, New York  (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – The word war between Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and FOX News seems to be coming to an end, thanks to  an agreement recently made between Trump and FOX News Chairman Roger Ailes.

Earlier in the week, Ailes was quoted as saying to Trump, ‘We resolve this now…or go to war.’

It all started during the first Republican presidential debate when FOX News moderator Megyn Kelly asked Trump about his past comments that were degrading to women.

On her Wednesday broadcast, Kelly announced she would be taking a vacation, starting immediately. “It’s been an interesting week,” Kelly said, adding “It’s been six months since I’ve had a vacation.”

Almost simultaneously, the Trump campaign announced that their candidate has cancelled  all his campaign and media appearances for the next 10 days.

It is highly unlikely that Kelly and Trump will be vacationing in the same resort, but it would be interesting to see — after both come back from vacation — who would have a darker tan.

 

 

 

IF SHE BECOMES PHILIPPINE FIRST LADY, KORINA SANCHEZ WANTS IMELDA MARCOS’ SHOES REPLACED BY HER FLIP FLOPS

imageMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles® ) – Everybody knows about former Philippine First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos’ collection of over 3,000 pairs of shoes. They are now displayed in a national museum in Marikina, a Metro Manila town known for its world-class shoe manufacturing industry.

Korina Sanchez is a broadcast journalist who has her own collection of — not shoes — but flip flops.

Sanchez, of course is the wife of Interior and Local Governments Secretary Mar Roxas, who is running for president in 2016 as President Aquino’s anointed successor.

In an interview with CNN Philippines today, Sanchez was asked about what she envisions her role would be as First Lady if Roxas gets elected.

“The first thing I would do is to replace all of Imelda’s shoes displayed at the Shoe Museum with my colorful collection of tsinelas  (flip flops).”

“I think the tsinelas  would be better representative of the true culture of the Filipino people” Sanchez said.
