I know, lets elect a president who knows what the hell he or she is doing for a change instead of the bullsh** identity politics which brought us the current idiot in the White House.
I believe Venezuela has had Latino presidents. How did they do?
We need a “Latino” president about as much as we needed an African-American one. How about an American president? Someone who believes in and will defend America?
If they really want a Latino President I could find them several other countries more to their liking
Here’s an idea. How about a proud AMERICAN president!!!
The only reason that anybody would be interested in the heritage of the POTUS, imo, is because they have probably never been taught about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers.
After all, if people understood that the feds actually have relatively little constitutional autority to decide domestic policy, regulating the US Mail Service being one of its main powers, and military issues aside, voters would probably not only lose interest in the federal government, but consider the following.
Citizens would probably have to guess who the incumbent president is if the Progressive Movement hadn’t totally defeated the Founder’s purpose for the electoral college by letting citizens vote to elect president.
“They regard both men as somehow inauthentically Hispanic due to his upbringing as un-impoverished Cubans who pounced on some unique political opportunity.”
So a poor man is the only authentic Latino?
Your bar of expectation dictates a certain bankruptcy of intelligence and a fallow ambition?
Gimme a break.
I could care less about the pedigree of pigment.
It’s more important to have a competent leader with a full vision of what is best for all Americans.
Punk.
The guayabera is a symbol of “populist political positions” and claimed by the UFW as the national hispanic 'uniform' (according to Wiki). Which, I suppose, translates to support for good old fascist, socialist governments, just like the ones back home in Cuba/ Central America/ Mexico.
So I really hope American President-elect Cruz decides on an alternate wardrobe choice for his limo ride down Capitol Mall - I'm thinking Miami Vice-ish ;)
Don’t elect a president by heritage...Look at the mess we’re in now.
Not a wise latina, eh?
Find me a latino who believes in God and the Constitution and I’ll gladly vote for him.
Find me anyone who believes in God and the Constitution, and I’ll vote for him.
Sure. If he or she meets all the requirements and has the right beliefs, then that’s great.
We only need a POTUS to uphold the Constitution and not try at every turn to bypass it.
I thought Hispanic Heritage Month was in April.
I don’t think Cruz is the kind of “latino” Luis Gutiérrez is talking about.
Ted Cruz for el presidente.
Jeez...
