What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA Spanish-language radio host in a key battleground district asked listeners for one positive thing about President Trump, and the Washington Times says the answers keep turning into prices.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe host, Victor Martinez, only wanted una sola cosa. One thing. And callers are basically sending him a grocery receipt.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the question was about a president, and the answer is about rent and what is in the cart.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThat's the whole district. Ask about politics, hear about the price of tortillas.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTortillas.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSame energy as Dwight's guess going viral earlier. Confident answer, wrong question, millions of people watching.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe difference is that Dwight's guess didn't raise anybody's rent. This one is the number on the bill your landlord sends every month.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo we're comparing receipts to polls now, shopping carts to ballot boxes.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy one good thing is that a coffee still costs less than a car payment. Barely.
