Latinos likely haven't made up their minds about Republican Sen. Ted Cruz's newly announced candidacy for President.
So in a selfless gesture, a whole slew of non-Latinos have quickly stepped forward to spare us the trouble of thinking for ourselves about whether Cruz stands a chance of winning and whether he can get the votes of fellow Latinos.
The answers were "No" and "No."
Here's the conventional wisdom, courtesy of the liberal media and other critics of the junior senator from Texas: Cruz doesn't have the slimmest chance to win the Republican nomination, let alone to eventually become President.
Which must be why, after Cruz said this week that he is running for President in 2016, liberal commentators and left-wing activists spent the next few days trying to tear him down.
"Cruz is entirely unsuited to be president," declared Danny Vinik of the New Republic. "Luckily for America, his candidacy is likely doomed to fizzle."
The Washington Post editorial board said "the most notable characteristic of Mr. Cruz's brief time in elected politics has been his aversion to values that are essential to democracy's functioning: Practicality, modesty and compromise."(continued)

Why, they already do. I’m one of them.
Cruz or lose
41% of them in Texas did
race race race race race race race race race race race ...
Those here legally or born here will (for the most part), the others ... doubtful.
I wasn’t old enough at the time...
Texas 'hispanics' voted for Ted about 41%.
That's enough.
How is he doing with the base? Raised much money? Like more than anybody for a first day announcement?

Morons talk as if Latinos are a monolithic group. Not so.
Yea, that number would be hard to unsee for the RATs.
The Dems own the plantation, and they don't want the slaves voting for Freedom.
What type of Hispanics are we talking about? The freeloading rapist illegal Hispanics, or the hardworking legal Hispanics?
I just need a candidate who looks like I do, so I’ll know exactly how they think and vote forever. Everyone knows you can judge a candidate by his or her skin color or surname.
Isn’t this practice of decimating a candidate before he clears the starting gate relatively new? Even with Reagan I don’t recall hordes of people screaming he wasn’t qualified or whacko. There were some but not this widespread.
There was no Internet in 1980.
I’m one and I’d vote for him. In a heartbeat.
Oh but they did and that was before cable, so everyone had only the networks to watch and Reagan was called “STUPID”, “OLD”, “SENILE”, “JUST A GRADE B ACTOR”, and worse.
In the seventies, we were not so deluged with media.
Now there is the internet, cable, social media, etc. More outlets for the ankle-biters, nay-sayers and long knives to be heard.
