Certain candidates (who shall remain nameless) for president of the United States leave me speechless with disbelief that anyone could be so uncaring, short-sighted, small-minded, bigoted, and apparently proud of it.

Algunos candidatos (que permanecerá sin nombre) a la presidencia de los Estados Unidos me dejan sin palabras con la incredulidad de que alguien pudiera ser tan indiferente, miope, mezquino, fanático, y aparentemente orgulloso de ello.
