No, not about Donald. About Cruz and Rubio. How the media ignores the first of Hispanics being leading contenders for President.

Its because Republicans aren't obsessed with identity politics like Democrats. And Progressives hate the idea that a Black or Hispanic or Woman can be anything other than progressive.

Here is the first reality of American identity politics: White progressives run the entire enterprise. Here is the second reality: That means sexual liberty trumps all, including racial equality. How else to explain the mainstream media’s gigantic yawn at the first Latino man in American history to win a major-party presidential caucus? Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio combined for 51 percent of the vote from a lily-white, conservative Iowa electorate, and no one seemed to mention race at all. Are we suddenly bored by “firsts” now? Or is there something wrong with Cruz and Rubio — something that has nothing to do with their heritage and everything to do with their politics? Writing in the New York Times, University of Southern California professor Robert Suro explored why the media response to this “first” was so muted. The piece is short because, as Suro notes, the answer is “not that complicated.”....

That's because if you asked anyone on the street to identify the race of either of those 2 without knowing their names, you would get 90% of the responses as "white". Not that I wouldn't love for the Repub. party to get diversity points for them, but that's just the honest truth.

I think many would state that Rubio looks Hispanic but not Cruz.

Many, but not most. He (Rubio)is - no joke - the spitting image of my cousin, who is descendant from a father who is Scotch-Irish and a mother who was of mostly German descent.

But they aren't leading. This guy is

Leading what? Polls that have proven to be wrong?

The odds makers say Rubio is now an odds-on favorite. Trump is a 3/1 dog. Cruz 5/1.

Funny, an American Lilly White Male that is a Socialist is running as a Democrat while a White Hispanic American whom had His Family come to America from a Communist Socialist country running as a Conservative Republican. God Bless America !
