Rafael Cruz, please. Remember, we're supposed to use the name people were given at birth, not their chosen name!

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"Would somebody think of those poor wealthy Christian whites?!?"
Go back to Canada Ted
I think you mean Rafael. If he wants the using of dead-names to be illegal we need to call him by his birth name.
You spelled Rafael wrong.
Hell no, you guys are stuck with him now.
We don't want him.
Nah, he might have started here, but he handed in his skates and swore off the maple syrup, for whatever he found in texas. (He gave up his Canadian citizenship and is a naturalised American)
Man, remember when the blacks rounded us up, shipped us across an ocean and put us to work on farms, before making us live on shit housing estates and outlawing anything we enjoy?
I don't know how we're ever supposed to forgive such a thing.
Tedward "Shame Powered Shit Factory" Cruz is only white on the outside. Beneath the skin suit, he is a writhing mass of intestinal parasites.
So like Ooogie Boogie but a lot more disgusting.
He wishes he had Oogie Boogie's charisma.
As is tradition.
Because of course he did.
