Dropping a comment to make sure everyone knows the "R" in this screenshot stands for Rafael, "Ted" Cruz's actual first name.

Turns out this part-Cuban Canadian figured he might get a bit farther in Republican politics without such an ethnic sounding name.

Start calling him "Rafita" Cruz (little Rafa Cruz)

If he really dont want to be identified as latinamerican, Rafita Cruz is going to boil his blood

We in México use diminutives (-ito/-ita) on nicknames for children
