If Mario Cuomo had ran for president, would Republicans have used the ethnic card?

[Mr. Smith]

Irish Americans really aren't that "ethnic."  They've been in the US longer, came from the British Isles and spoke English. And you don't need to cast Irish American actors to play Irish American characters as in the case with Italian actors and characters, any generic white American (or even Brit who can do a good American accent) will do. 

With the exception of James Caan, honorary dego, and the amazing David Proval.

Marlon Brando was Italian?

Do you mean the way that, in 1992, Democrat Robert Abrams played that ethnic card against both Geraldine Ferraro and Al D'Amato?

Marlon Brando was Italian?

Nope.
