Ted Cruz’s official campaign isn’t even two weeks old, and already it’s done the nation a favor — by highlighting the duplicity of the “multicultural” left and what it is really after.
Ever since Cruz announced his candidacy for president, “Latino leaders” have been stepping all over themselves to declare that not only does he not speak for Hispanics (something only they presumably do) but he’s not even a “legitimate” Hispanic.
All of which serves to pull the curtain back on multiculturalism: Defined by liberals, it’s a concept that exists solely to advance liberal objectives.
It’s not ancestry that makes one a member of a group but whether one adheres to the leftist worldview that created the group-identity mindset in the first place.
And it’s certainly not designed to serve the interests of the individual members of any group, beyond the “benefit” of fostering an “us vs. them” mentality. Thus, the dismissal of Cruz’s “hispanicity.”
“Although Ted Cruz has a Latino name and immigration in his past, there the similarities between the Latino community and him end,” the co-directors of the Dream Act Coalition, Cesar Vargas and Erika Andiola, said.
Matt Barreto, founder of the leftist-leaning Latino Decisions polling group, took it a step further: “He is going to go after the vote of the people who don’t like Latinos — that’s his crowd, the anti-immigration crowd.”(continued)

Apparently only about 100 people support this Cruz guy?
“....the people who don’t like Latinos — that’s his crowd, the anti-immigration crowd”
Since when did latinos as a group come to be defined as illegal immegrants??
evidently these “;latino leaders” are not very much different than the “nlack ;leaders” like revrunt sharpton and the others we have come to know and despise
I can see why the “latino leaders” hate Cruz. Ted isn’t a big handout type of politician and thinks people should pay their own way. Not the mindset of the “latino leaders”.
Not brown enough?
He will get about 40% of the Mexican vote. That 40% is hard working and legal. He will not get the illegal vote or the parasite vote. He will do just fine. Hillary is toast. She is an unprosecuted criminal — right now. She concealed and destroyed government property by her own admission under 18 USC 2107b ,as I said long ago. I think a state prosecutor can indict — right now!!
Democrat anything reject anything other than Marxists and Socialists.
Cuber is not part of Central America?
Just as Sarah Palin is not a real woman, Ted Cruz is not a real Latino.
he he
Ping.
If you remember how all of the people connected to Ronald Reagan were brought up on phony charges and spent years defending themselves in court.
The left has not had that happen to them yet.
I do believe that when it hits them it will be a torrential downpour that they will not be happy about.
And tough $#!+.
Latino leaders want amnesty and free stuff from taxpayers. Ted will not give them what they want. It is that simple.
But Bill Clinton was the first black president.
“Matt Barreto, founder of the leftist-leaning Latino Decisions polling group, took it a step further: “He is going to go after the vote of the people who don’t like Latinos — that’s his crowd, the anti-immigration crowd.”
It has nothing to do with “not liking” hispanics. I have no problem whatsoever with hispanics who follow our laws and come here through the legal process. Just more red herring rhetoric.
PEPE BILLETE: "I'M NOT A LATINO, I'M NOT A HISPANIC, I'M A CUBAN AMERICAN!"
“He will get about 40% of the Mexican vote. That 40% is hard working and legal.”
I think so too. However, Latinos are hardcore Dummycrats but they’re racist too as just like blacks who vote for Odumbo, they’ll vote for the non-gringo.
Mezcans hate Cubans.
I’ve seen such a frenzy to discredit TED CRUZ since Ronald Reagan ran for President.
