Tolstoy, I don't think trotting out a few tokens running well behind the leader is quite as dispositive as you seem to think it is. First, because Cuban Americans have had a different and much easier experience than pretty much any other non northern European group of immigrants. Second, because Carson, Cruz, and Rubio are all being crushed by Drumpf. Third, because it,s never been hard, in American history, to find a bunch of Uncle Ruckuses willing to praise the decency and kindness of the powerful. But that really doesn mitigate the fact that Republican policies have uniformly advocated the greater disenfranchisement of the least powerful groups within our society, groups that are disproportionally not considered white. And those points do not conceal that Republicans embrace the votes and ideas of people who have given ample evidence to support the claim that they do not consider nonwhite, non-straight, or non-Christian individuals as really equally worthy of dignity, and respect.
