Texas Sen. Ted Cruz may not have the best rapport with the Latino community, but on Thursday he received a key endorsement from a member of the community.
Congressman Raúl Labrador of Idaho came out in support of Cruzâs bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
In his endorsement, the Puerto Rican-born lawmaker called Cruz âa stalwart defender of the constitution and a tireless advocate for conservative principles.â
âAmericans know Washington is broken,â Labrador said in a press release. âTed Cruz is the only candidate that will truly change the way Washington works, restore the balance of power between the presidency and the American people, and advance the principles of freedom and liberty for all Americans, not just the privileged few. It's time for all conservatives to unite behind the one candidate that can win in November and defeat the Washington establishment.â
Labrador was elected to the House in 2010 and is a leader in the House Freedom Caucus. The lawmaker, who is a strong supporter protecting civil and religious liberties, has recently been a strong critic of House Speaker Paul Ryan â criticizing the Wisconsin congressman for not being conservative enough.

King also endorsed Cruz.
Labrador actually got atttacked from the right on immigration by a Democrat in 2010.
Similar to Gowdy, Mulvaney & Sanford on amnesty. Loudmouth style.
Whereas the Steve King & Jeff Sessions go around & set fires and cause trouble for the amnesty team.

You may want to read up on Puerto Rico.
Seriously, you do know that your hero the Donald married two foreigners and his mother was a foreigner. Maybe it’s just foreigners that aren’t from Europe that you have something against.
Yes; I know they’re technically US citizens. The ones I know self identify as Puerto Rican before American. I prefer Americans who are American, heart, mind, and soul.
That’s like saying I’m endorsing a nice perfume toilet paper.
Mark Levin was talking about a brokered convention. As I understand it, they want to continue to have four or so GOPe guys in the primaries to split the vote so Trump or Cruz won't have enough delegates at the RNC Convention in Cleveland. He said Rove, Bush's and RNC attorney Ginsberg and the GOP establishment have this all figured out so they'll have a brokered convention. That's why I assume early on Jeb said, "I'm going to be the nominee."
If Reince Priebus, RNC attorney Benjamin Ginsberg, (Bush's lawyer in the 2000 recount), and the rest of the Republican establishment pull their tricks and shenanigans at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, July 18-21, then they're going to see 1-2 Million Patriots show up and demand the winner of the primaries get the nomination.
No Tricks, no Recounts, none of this changing delegates around, no brokered convention. If Trump wins all the primaries except Texas and Utah, he's the nominee. Period.
The city of Cleveland better get ready for some major rock and roll if Priebus, Jeb's attorney Ginsberg and the Republican Establishment deny Trump the nomination.
How the Republican Party Stole the Nomination from ron Paul Article re 2012 RNC Convention
A Brokered GOP Convention in 2016? Worth the read. From this article:
"Every primary, every caucus, will essentially be a beauty contest," Haugland says of 2016. "Now, those results will be persuasive to delegates that go to the convention. But the delegates to the Republican convention are going to choose the next presidential nominee. Nobody will have the majority of delegates from eight states before the convention."
and Campaigns secretly prep for brokered GOP convention Candidates, outside groups and party officials are quietly maneuvering for a nomination fight that goes all the way to the bitter end.
And we're just getting started. . .
FYI, in case you missed it
Those naturalized citizens sure do stick together.
