Marco Rubio just dragged Ted Cruz because Cruz can't speak Spanish. Of note: neither does anyone on you're newsroom.

Factcheck: Ben Carson thinks about children.

This crowd tho I wouldn't be surprised if someone threw a tomato at one of the candidates

Point of clarity: one's ability to speak Spanish (or lack thereof) has little or no bearing on one's latinidad. That said... +
-
A candidate's ability to speak Spanish (or lack thereof) is a major asset during a latino election.
-
Additional point of clarity: in Spanish we don't capitalize the word "español." You're outing yourself when you write it with a capital E.

That's just about enough for one day. Good reminder to watch where I place my energy.

Also: Anyone who read this
@vox headline and thought it was Spanish... Sorry you also you don't know Spanish.http://www.vox.com/2016/2/13/10987950/spanish-cruz-rubio-debate … -
Perhaps
@vox means to write "no ES cierto." Because "no cierto," like that on its own, doesn't make any sense. No one says that. -
The story also missed the fact that Rubio was genius at making Cruz claim his latinidad. How? Oh that's right look at your newsroom.
-
For
@voxdotcom, the latino part of this AND the Spanish language part of this is completely lost. But again: look at their newsroom. -
Ultimately
@voxdotcom's decision to maintain a nearly all-white staff ahead of elex is bad for readers who now think "no cierto" is Spanish. -
As an "explainer" site,
@voxdotcom isn't explaining what's happening. At all. Like it can't even get the headline right. -
Remember that time Dewhurst challenged Cruz to debate in Spanish? Cruz declined because, as he said on the record, his Spanish is horrible.
-
Yeah, you probably don't remember that. Neither does any journalist writing about what happened last night.
