If Ted Cruz runs for president....and I hope he does so.....
I hope his legal name appears on the ballot....
Rafael Edward Cruz. His name should capture a bunch of Hispanic votes (hopefully).
It has to. Remember “James Earl Carter” or “William Jefferson Clinton” as examples.
If he runs, I doubt Cruz will garner the majority of Hispanic votes, because most of them like Big Government. But hopefully, he could galvanize the base, get a higher percentage of the white vote, and get the minority of Hispanics who are more assimilated and more conservative.
