10. Repudiate his dad? I wouldn't expect him to do that or require him to.

His dad is his dad. Maybe gently put some distance, but repudiate? Nah.

american racist mindset and ability to be slyly, and more often than not today, be openly bigoted and racist and proud of it and turn their racism into, "who me?????. I'm not racist". I'm just concerned about your welfare....taking. He, the father, is a naturalized citizen or born here? I can check it out of course, easily, but my question has a purpose, if anyone wants to answer. Get a little money and distinction(given, not earned) and you can be a racist too!!!! This is why racism and bigotry will never be defeated unless thousands take to the streets and americans, by and large, just don't give a damn. I am so angry after listening to this POS, this early in the morning. ...I have to go quiet down for a while. This cruzing POS!!!!! The nerve.

The Gio is having a massive conniption fit right now. He says he can make fun of him - because he (Giovanni) has an Italian accent.

A tale of to immigrants. One is a selfish asshole - one reaches a hand down.

Eh? He gets to watch Wheelers and Dealers because I put him through ten minutes of hell!

11. Like father like son. Ted Cruz wants to over throw the American government just like his father

helped overthrow the Cuban government so the Castro Regime could come in. Ted Cruz wants to start by getting rid of several Departments in the United States. He started by shutting down the government for a few days a while back. The elder Cruz appointed Teddy to be the Anointed One, the Supreme Ruler of the Seven Hill according to their theology. Both are psychopathic liars and sociopathic distant relatives of the Ape.

13. The "Cuban Government"?
Wed Apr 8, 2015, 11:38 AM
Apr 2015

The "government" that Dad Cruz fought to overcome was a notoriously corrupt and harsh dictatorship. The Castro progressive revolution began well and then devolved into it's own dictatorship, though the common person did better under him than under Batista because Castro nationalized the resources and redistributed the wealth. For instance there's 98% literacy in Cuba and universal health care.

What the Cruz's want to do to our Government bears no relationship to the popular uprising/revolution that overthrew Batista.

12. Making fun of someone's accent is vulgar and racist

Sam Seder and his crew apparently think it is hilarious to make fun of someone's accent. They need to be called out on this.

I find the ideas of Ted Cruz and his father completely repugnant. But Seder's racist display is also repugnant. I couldn't watch even half of the video and whatever point Seder was trying to make was completely drowned by his grotesque mimicry.

17. What's with having your father attached to your campaign & political career like Cruz & Paul?

Where is Ted Cruz' mother, Eleanor living, and Cruz' 4 half-sisters, from his parents first marriages? Unable to find verified info. about these family members. Cruz' father came from Cuba to Texas on a student visa in 1957, yet didn't apply for US citizenship until 2005, strange.
