If you've read the latest Eckhart Tolle book you know that "te quiero" means I want you and "te amo" I love you. The former is the more common way to say "I love you" in Spanish because, according to Tolle, the Spanish are more honest about what "love" usually means. That is, it usually means desire, lust, obsession, and an uncontrollable urge to possess someone. Hence, the expression "te quiero"--"I want you."
It is telling that Hillary Clinton chose the form "te quiero" and not the less common but equally correct form "te amo."
Hillary Clinton "wants" Puerto Rico. She doesn't love it. I assume her feelings about the rest of the American public and the US presidency are the same. She "wants" to be president not because she "loves" America but because she "wants" power. She doesn't love America because if she did she wouldn't be on this narcissistic crusade to make her own party look like a bunch of morons.
