Point I was trying to make is Cruz HAS NEVER claimed to be hispanic and his supported is 99.9% white conservatives. He made a conscience decision years ago never to learn how to speak Spanish, even though his last name is Cruz and he wanted a career in politics, starting in Texas. Greg Abbott, an Anglo through and through speaks fluent Spanish and his father is not Spanish. Just strange that as smart as Cruz is he never gave a damn about being able to learn the language of his father’s people which is about 50% of the voters in Texas and in a few years will be the language of half the voters in the United States. Just strange to me.
Hispanics make up about 25% of Texas population. Of that amount about 40% are eligible to vote...about half of that number actually vote. Conservatives in Texas regularly get 30-40%. Ted Cruz got 38%. I would guess his parents made a deliberate decision that he be fluent in English only....that is quite common in Hispanic households in Texas!!
