This latino writes an Open Letter to Ted Cruz, marco Rubio and Jeb Bush
If I voted based on identity, I would be tickled pink instead or being "red" or "blue". The Grand Old party is elevating Two latinos to major candidates, and a third, Jeb Bush, who while being anglo, gained power by immersing himself deep into Latino culture, from his Miami buisness dealigns to his wife to his children, who Grandpa Bush calls "the little brown ones." It especially is worth noting that Jeb discussed immigration reform when sadly, many Democrats were doing the foot dragging.
However, I cannot even come close to endorsing either of these three, especially as I know Rubio and Jeb quite well. Both of them have gutted Florida's schools and outdoors, and they both want to get rid of a woman's right to choose. They have gutted voting rights, so that poor people and blacks have a harder time voting. They have done tangible, noticeable damage to my state, and they rely on the votes from the same people that want MORE of the same, even though these people will be the first in line to demand government help when the Hurricanes wipe out their oceanfront McMansions. As for as Cruz, he speaks for himself, he admits he is a theocrat, and frankly I do not want nor need a Christian flavor of Sharia.
So, let me say this, I cannot speak for all Latinos, but I can say this. If the GOP thinks we will vote for a Brown Elephant, they are wrong. Rubio and Jeb have shown their true colors way too many times. Some people may think it is perfectly proper to vote based on indentity, because it is "time one of us was in." Sorry, because we have seen too many time where poision was put in a wrapper. Part of me is hoping that the GOP will just whip off it's mask, run Scott Walker, and then we cann just sit back and play that one bit on you tube where Scott thinks a comedian is Koch, and he does the sort of butt kissing right out of a bad sitcom, but if the GOP tries to play brown against pink, it will not work.
And this goes double for if they trot out Susannah Martinez, hoping pink and brown will hide all that Koch Green.
