A strong supermajority of Americans support increasing the minimum wage to $15 an hour, including supermajorities in the south and midwest.

THOSE old white people are OK I guess.
Some "libs" don't think white "Hispanics" are "white" so they'll give them a pass, like Ted Cruz. Hell, even Cruz ain't really Hispanic IMHO, he's a Canadian with an American mother.

By US customs; Obama IS counted as "Black" because he's def part looking at the man. Ted Cruz looks a LOT of Joe McCarthy of 60 years ago who was of Irish family.

It's well know the Repub bench is well stocked with usable people for POTUS. The Dems CAN'T claim that right now.

I think Donald will be the GOP nominee.

But let's assume things happen and he isn't.

GOP field is still very versatile

Bush, Cruz, Carson, Rubio or others can pick up easily.

Democrats don't have that flexibility.

And they know it
