Senator Ted Cruz plays the race card!

[^_^ 5,021]

Sen. Ted Cruz says some of the attacks on fellow Republican Sen. Marco Rubio by Democrats are motivated by race. Cruz said today the fact that Rubio is a Republican Latino poses a threat to political adversaries. “I think Democrats and the media are afraid of Marco Rubio because he is a smart, intelligent, conservative Hispanic. And they are looking for any excuse they can to attack him, because that threatens them,” Cruz told reporters.

It's a valid argument, if you can make it stick. You know Democrats hate conservative black folks. Except for Cubans, folks coming from south of the border are shifting way over to the left. No way the Democrats want to see the Republicans as anything but white heterosexual wife beaters that cling to their guns and watch NASCAR.

Uhm, not so much.

Different demographic, always fighting NOT to be lumped.

The only thing a Cuban MIGHT say is the same, is that Cubans and Hispanics BOTH speak spanish.

might. Maybe. When pressed.

Otherwise, no... Adamantly fighting against being lumped into that demographic, for decades now.

Cubans are Hispanic. They are from a country that has a culture influenced by and/or with roots in the Iberian Peninsula. Cubans are white, black, native and all sorts of mixtures thereto, while still being Hispanic.

So you side with Senator Cruz and disagree with Darnell.

Just for the record.

Solidarity with my brown brethren!

How odd to have agreed with Cruz on anything. Excuse me while I take a Silkwood shower.

I've had stranger ones. The WSJ writer comes to mind, as does the kid dropping out of my university to study at a yeshiva. He came from a long line of rabbis, but he couldn't resist the siren call of the shiksa.
