HOWEVER, Cruz aims to strike at the heart of EVERY Establishment meme, and this will drive them crazy, for he will be going after LEGAL voters of Spanish descent!
And he will be undercutting the democrats. Remember a week or two ago when Obama said "there will be a President Rodriguez some day," well there may be a President Cruz sooner than that!!
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
This is going to keep the Dems up at night!
A conservative Hispanic vote is a conservative vote.
He needs to produce an ad TODAY where he speaks the entire thirty-seconds HIMSELF in Spanish!
I agree that all business should be conducted in English. However, if we Conservatives do NOT explain the conservative values to legal immigrants they will only hear one side and will believe what Obama and his cockroach minions will tell them. We need to get the word out. I think what Ted Cruz is exactly that.
Bad move
As much as I despise the immigration tidal wave period .
Cruz might reach a few points of Latino vote.
And it makes MSM ponder how to race bait.
But libtard Latinos will deem him a Tio Tomaś
The imagery is excellent in that ad.
I agree English is our country's language and that language should be used, however, Cruz running for president isn't a business trying to sell washing machines (etc.). The reality is a voter needs to be able to understand what the candidate is saying, otherwise he/she won't vote for that candidate. Luckily, Cruz is fluent in Spanish to be able to reach that segment of voters.
Take, for instance, the society around my townhouse which is 40 miles north of Houston. The group of people living in those townhouses are mostly older people and they have housekeepers to clean their houses. Most of the housekeepers are Spanish and most can't speak English. I turned one down because she spoke NO English so I couldn't communicate with her. Those housekeepers need to be able to hear what Cruz says. They can since Cruz speaks Spanish.
The repair company that makes repairs on the townhouses, has a head Spanish guy who speaks English but his workers only speak Spanish. They need to be able to understand what Cruz is saying and they can because he speaks Spanish.
Multiply that situation across the country and there are some millions of Spanish speakers who don't speak English but they are actual citizens who can vote. Cruz can reach that segment of voters and he needs every vote he can get.
The importance of ONE vote:
When my husband was Republican County Chairman of our country, we had a Republican office open. Next door to that office was a small gas station that sold the regular foodstuffs and drinks most of those places have. My husband was in there with his friend who was running for one of our precinct chairs. The owner was from India and he was a citizen but hadn't voted in an election yet. The two men told him to be sure and vote and vote for our friend as chair of that precinct. He said he would.
So, the guy voted. When the totals were added election night, our friend won by ONE VOTE. That guy's vote made our friend the precinct chairman. ONE VOTE MATTERS.
I hope Cruz gets every Spanish vote because he can reach them through their home language - Spanish.
Exactly! my initial response to this was.. Oh geez... here we go again with appeasement, etc...
But after thinking about it this is the perfect tactic: Take all of the usual GOP establishment and Democratic party tactics (such as ads in Spanish) and take ownership of them. Paint them over with a conservative message from an actual conservative. Do what Liberals have been doing to us for years: Claim ownership and redefine. The huge difference is that we will be telling the truth in a world of almost universal deceit.
“While I don’t approve of this type of thing. We should be conducting all business in English”
I strongly disagree. I would like for all native Spanish speakers to hear a conservative message in their own language rather than none at all. What kind of message do you think they have heard until now on those Spanish language radio and TV stations? I’ll bet the Liberals have enjoyed a near monopoly on those stations.
The Spanish ads annoy the hell out of me.
I don’t recall Italian ads when the Italians poured in.
.
As long as he says the same things in Spanish that he says in English there shouldnt be a problem. Its not like Romney wbo had different core beliefs in different states
