I wish both Trump and Cruz would focus on their own policies - and what sets them apart - in a POSITIVE way, and quit making the Cabana Boy look like the adult in the room. Because he’s NOT.
I couldn’t agree more. Trump was killing it when he was talking border walls and moslem bans. Cruz too felt much stronger talking issues. I know they both want to win but I think focusing on each other is a mistake. FWIW Ted pretty much stuck to issues in his Senate run while Dewhurst attacked him and still won pretty handily.
The Bush family likes to back Cuban-Americans for public office: the Cubans lean Republican and they break the meme "Hispanic <=> Democrat" that the 'Rats have been pushing since Landslide Lint'n blew up the hinges of American immigration policy.
In Houston, the Bush family explicitly, patronizingly, and embarrassingly endorsed for mayor -- twice -- a Cuban-American politico named Orlando Sanchez, who now holds a state office somewhere after twice failing to break the death-grip the 'Rats have on Houston city government.
At the time, I called Sanchez "the Bush family's cabana boy" and similar things, mostly because he was so obviously subservient and a creature of Manor Bush.
Marco Rubio appears to have come up the same way, as a protege of Yeb!
