O’Rourke... that’s a good Irish name, isn’t it?
Why are they calling this guy ‘Hispanic’?

True enough. So all Beto has to do is change his last name to Orourkez, then self-identify as Hispanic.

Just as Irish as “O’Malley”.
(Mostly: the name “Rourke”, as well as “Roderick” and “Rory”, apparently has a Norse origin in the name Hroþekr, “famous king”, which has some similarities to the name of the Danish king Hroþgar in “Beowulf”.)

He is going to run and he has a more than 50% chance of winning.
Cruz should have wiped the table with him.

No need to concern-troll on Robert Francis’ behalf.
And Trump is not Cruz.

The guy is literally 0% Hispanic. But he’s got an Hispanic nickname, and that’s good enough!
And here’s where Elizabeth Warren must be kicking herself. If she had only picked a Cherokee nickname for herself years ago, she’d be President of the United States today.
