He’s totally Hispanic.

Funny, you like to say Robert Beto O’Rourke, but you could just as easily say Rafael Ted Cruz.

Rafael Ted Cruz.

Really? Is that his given name? I honestly didn't know.

[jon-nyc]

Well the irony is ironic, right?

The guy with the Hispanic given name takes on an Anglo nickname, and the guy with the Anglo given name takes on the Hispanic nic.

Yeah. According to Wikipedia Cruz began using his sorta-middle name "Ted" at age 13.

O'Rourke was called "Beto" during his infancy by his family. I thought it was something he adopted in college.

What’s his middle name, Eduardo?

I've got it in a drawer with Obama's McCain's.

What’s the difference between Ted Cruz’s wife and the Constitution?

He’ll defend the Constitution.

Did you have to squint to see the difference?

Yeah. I did.

Weather disaster in Northeast killing 30+ people. POTUS vacations. Media says "He deserves a break before election."

Weather disaster in Texas, any deaths (I honestly don't know)? Senator vacations. "OMG the horror!"

Someone commented, "What do you expect him to have done?"

Sauce, goose, gander.

The links I posted (and there are others) totally ignore Biden's response to what happened in Buffalo. Probably because there was none (haven't looked).
