Mayor No-Show at Sun Bowl Parade

There were almost no elected officials at this year's Sun Bowl Parade on Thanksgiving Day. Most notably absent was Mayor Dee Margo.

Only City Reps Peter Svarzbein and Cassandra Hernandez were in the parade.

Margo may have made the calculation to not attend due to the fact that the parade goes right by the El Paso County Democratic Party Headquarters. Last year in the parade they trolled him. The Imperial Death March from Star Wars was played as he drove by.

Thats Darth Vader's music for those of you that don't know.

Margo is a Republican and the Democratic Party is coming off of an election cycle in which they swept out the last Republican elected officials in the County.

Mayor Margo is a Republican but city council races are non-partisan and he ran against the weakest field of candidates in the history of a mayor's race.

Margo probably knows that the Democratic Party isn't happy about the fact that the only Republican still in office in El Paso is the mayor.

So since Margo wasn't there, they trolled City Rep Cassandra Hernandez instead. They haven't forgotten her opposition to changing Robert E. Lee street to Dolores Huerta. The backbone of the Democratic Party in El Paso is Latinas, so they aren't happy with her.

If he had gone, it probably would've been uncomfortable for him.

I was sent a couple of pics of the welcome for him they had ready.

Leeser still has at least one more term open to him should he decide to run for Mayor.

Like I said earlier, Margo won because there was an incredibly terrible field of candidates running. If Leeser runs again, Margo is toast and he probably knows it.

He'll have to spend a little more money this time, but I doubt anyone else will run and if they do, Leeser is going to suck the air out of the room.

Either way, Margo not showing up to the Sun Bowl Parade is funny to me.

Trump is apparently afraid of rain.

Margo is apparently afraid of sun.
