South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg could bust out the Spanish at Thursday night’s Democratic presidential debate. But that would be so passé.

After all, Beto O’Rourke, one of Buttigieg’s 24 rivals for the nomination, already used that trick in the first debate round, on Wednesday night. The former Texas congressman’s bilingual approach drew mixed reviews among pundits. But it logically opened the way for other candidates to show off their language skills.
