He’s more Latin than Obama is black. This is silly.

The writer is giving a pass to white folks to ignore the race as selling point in Ted Cruz's case.

She will let us know when its time to respond positively to the race of a candidate again.

Whomever protects and defends the Constitution of the United States of America gets my vote. The current occupant of the peoples house can care less. It is time for conservatives to come out of the woods again. Everything that I have read about Ted Cruz is outstanding in regards to constitution law and America exceptionalism.

BTW the writer is a racist moron herself. She refers to Cruz's mother as an "anglo" when she's of Irish heritage.

BTW Hispanic activists use "anglo" to refer to all white people, much like someone who refers to all asians as "chinese".

Isn’t it racist to ask a question like that?

What a silly article. Exactly how is Obama, who’s mother is white and was brought up by his white mother and white grandparents, more black than Ted Cruz is Latino , given that Ted Cruz’s daddy, who is Latino, was actually there to bring him up and Obama’s black daddy went AWOL from the get go?

He is obviously not latino or minority because he isn’t in need of leftwing government to declare him “disabled” and give him benefits.

I was unaware being a stupid liberal was part of being Hispanic.

I don’t think people should run on their “ethnic” credentials. Cruz will have to appeal to ALL people on the basis of his ideas and the likelihood of his being able to implement them.

Unfortunately, he seems to have decided that appealing to people as an Evangelical and citing his personal walk or whatever is going to win them over, Hispanic or non-Hispanic. He reminds me a lot of Rick Santorum, although a lot smarter (Rick had little but his Christianity going for him).

I think Cruz is a brilliant guy but I don’t think he’s going to be the candidate, much less President. He lost me (I’m not Hispanic, btw) with his religious proclamation, because I don’t like people pandering to any group, and I was always dubious about him as an executive so it didn’t take much to lose me.

He’s never managed anything but has been kind of a gadfly attorney most of his life. And he’s great. He was the one who won the election for Bush with his arguments before the Supreme Court.

I’d love to see him as AG, because he has the intelligence and courage to undo many of the things that the stupid, ignorant but ideological Obama and Holder did. But I don’t think he’s going to fly with the majority of Americans, Hispanic or not, as Chief Executive.

I’m not sure who will. I like Walker - but also Jindal and Fiorina, although I’m not sure either one of them should be at the top of the ticket. If it’s not Walker, Jindal would be my second choice, but I doubt that he has the money to get there.

I think Bush will fade away because, in a lot of ways, he’s yesterday. We don’t need retreads.
