Sadly, I think people were so invested in electing the first black president that they wouldn’t have cared if he was in full on Kenyan menswear.
We had a woman running, and we had a black man.
We can elect a woman any old time, but to get just that right black man..........well, they couldn’t pass on the opportunity.
Do I sound racist? I am not nearly as racist as the ass putzes who voted for a man to be the president of the United States of America just because he was black (ish).
And now all of these “conservatives” are hooting over Cruz, because “it’s our turn now”! If the dems can ignore the Constitution, so can we!
The game has played out. The dems have achieved success. It didn’t take them very long to get Conservatives to sell out, did it?
“ish”. Good one.
I think it's "the lure of the foreign." There have always been people in this country who have craved foreign rule, but now it really seems to be coming to a head. It is NOT about having someone of Hispanic heritage -- if it were, we would seeing a groundswell of support for someone such as Gov. Susanna Martinez of New Mexico who, as I understand it, not only was born here but whose parents were born here as well -- a real American. Unfortunately "American" seems to be distasteful to today's crowd.

Well, if these were so-called "conservative" people eager to jump on the "foreign" bandwagon, instead of adhering to Constitutional principles and seeking the most qualified ELIGIBLE man or woman (of any heritage) for the job, then they aren't real conservatives and it's no surprise at all.
