Did you ever consider that the reason why GOP members oppose Obama is because THEY ARE REPUBLICANS AND HE IS A DEMOCRAT? THEY ARE CONSERVATIVES AND HE IS A LIBERAL?
The first clue is that the multitudes of left wing bloggers, posters, and trolls have taken to referring to Ted Cruz as "Rafael." He has self-ID'ed as Ted for years, and I learned at an early age that one way to show respect towards others is to call them by the name they prefer. When a new employee comes on board where I work, I always ask them what they 'go by.'
The only reason I can guess at for this phenomenon is that it is supposed to underscore his Hispanic heritage, It would seem that the last name of 'Cruz' would be a tipoff that Ted Cruz is Hispanic, but who knows what goes on inside he brain of a liberal....
He is clearly a serious person and serious candidate for 2016, yet he is getting great grief from the left. Is it due to his ethnicity? Are they that violently opposed to a first Hispanic President? I don't really know, but no other theory seems to fit the facts.
No I think thinking people oppose Ted Cruz because he is an idiot, not because of his ethnic heritage, whatever that may be.

Why don't you ask Ted Cruz if he is Hispanic and see what he tells you?
His ethnicity? He's white. That's why he's such a great "Hispanic" candidate for Republicans. Same with Rubio.

Ted Cruz is in it to take care of Ted Cruz.
LMAO, a conservative Republican cannot possibly be anything other than white, by definition. Is that it? I don't have Ted in the adjacent cubicle or even on speed dial, so unfortunately I have no way to ask him and see what he tells me.
Cruz is clearly in it to press his ideological agenda. Why else would a guy with a Harvard law degree, who has argued multiple times before the Supreme Court, subject himself to the slings and arrows that come with running as a far right conservative for prez? If he was just in it for himself, he would have taken his law degree to Wall Street or K Street, made a 7 figure income, and lived happily ever after.

Probably, but what can you expect?
We all learned back during the 2008 primary that Hillary supporters were racists. Or at least that was what we were repeatedly told.
Just gotta love when that meme swings back around and smacks people like a boomerang.
Which still doesn't address the fact that most people who aren't political junkies don't equate Cruz with Hispanics. He has not self-identified as such, nor has he made his ethnicity a part of his public image. Whereas it's not possible to look at the president and not know he is black. Which is why this thread is a big fail.
How would people not equate a man with a Hispanic last name with being Hispanic? How does Cruz not look Hispanic? He is Ted Cruz and some other Hispanic guy. Look the same to me pretty much.

Cruz's ethnicity is Hispanic, his race is white.
