Liberal McClatchy Questions Whether " Is Ted Cruz Latino enough? "

McClatchy reports:

Ted Cruz has a Latino name. He has a Latino background. And he’s one of the few Latinos to have ever run for the presidential nomination of a major party.

But is he Latino enough?

The Hispanic community in his home state of Texas gave him some but not overwhelming support when he was elected to the Senate in 2012. And mostly Democratic Latinos nationwide are more wary than ever after Cruz’s relentless criticism of immigration reform and the new health care law.

His father is a Cuban exile, and the Republican senator from Texas touts his father fleeing Cuba during the revolution every chance he gets, which usually gets a rousing response from an anti-Castro audience.

No word yet on when McClatchy is going to run a story on whether Obama is black enough since he grew up in a white household, went to private schools, and now sends his 2 daughters to private school.
