Any conservative who thinks that this issue has legs is unrealistic. Indeed, this gets votes for Cruz, it doesn't lose votes for him.

I honestly think you are wrong about MEChA and hispanics in general. They view this as a shame, an embarrassment, this is like saying that a politician that has secret connections with the Aryian Nation will turn out the "white vote." I think you are in for a surprise if this does "get out"

I disagree, though I confess I am no expert. The fact is that none of this is really news (racial slurs, club membership), and yet Bustamante has enjoyed public office for years.

There is no comparision to Ayrian Nation - that is sudden death for a white (and it should be), but comperable affiliations are not sudden death for a minority.
