Trump, Cruz and the GOP Crisis (Anti-Trump & Cruz, pro-amnesty & Kasich article)
La Opinion (Los Angeles) ^ | March 21, 2016

The Republican Party is in serious trouble when, after several primaries and caucuses, Donald Trump is the front-runner to win the presidential nomination. Add to this that Senator Ted Cruz, one of the most hated politicians among his own due to his arrogant, divisive and extremist postures, has shaped up to be the candidate to unify the Party and stop the advance of the New York millionaire.

There are no other Republicans left with a chance to obtain the presidential who have a positive, moderate position on immigration. In the last few days, Trump and Cruz competed to rouse indignation and anger against immigrants among their followers. Behind them ‒ too far away to be a dangerous rival ‒ is Governor John Kasich, who reminds everyone of what the Party used to stand for before nativist populism and evangelism became political philosophy.

The paper was first founded and published on September 16, 1926 by Ignacio E. Lozano, Sr.. He emigrated from Mexico to San Antonio, Texas, in 1908, where Lozano first founded a Spanish-language daily newspaper known as La Prensa in 1913.

With the increase in the Mexican population Los Angeles experienced during the 1920s, Lozano believed he had a strong base for a Spanish newspaper in the growing city and founded La Opinión on September 16 to coincide with Mexico's Independence Day. The Lozano family retained control over both La Prensa and La Opinión until 1959 when La Prensa was sold.

In its early existence La Opinión consisted primarily of news from Mexico to accommodate the reading preferences of its audience, made up in large part by recently emigrated Mexicans. La Opinión was one of the few newspapers to provide comprehensive coverage of the deportations and repatriations of Mexicans during the 1930s as well as the Zoot Suit Riots of the 1940s.

In 1990, 50% ownership of the paper was sold to the Times Mirror Company, which merged with the Tribune Company in 2000.[4] In 2004, Impremedia bought Tribune Company out and regained full control over La Opinión.[2]

“The Republican Party is in serious trouble when, after several primaries and caucuses, Donald Trump is the front-runner to win the presidential nomination.”

From where I’m sitting, the Republican Party never looked better.

I think the GOP turned today. Trummps AIPAC speech was a grand slam. Cruz well honestly, “he can debate but he can’t talk”.

Agree. This is really going to help Trump in the polls and elections.

Just a matter of how much.

No point in reading past that line.
