I just shutter at the thought of a Bush/Clinton campaign.

Many of my liberal friends feel the same way and have said they will sit this one out if 2016 is a Bush vs. Clinton contest. I'm an Independent and agree with them.

If Jeb wins, could we handle another depression? And a couple more wars?

Agreed! Every Hispanic I have discussed this issue with, be it family members or fellow business owners, have all said they do no want "reform" and are insulted that politicians use that term to hide what it really is, amnesty. Their parents came here legally, worked hard and succeeded, and really resent the entitled attitude from those coming here illegally. But what do they know....they only live in Texas

Haven't you read all of the forum remarks that back that up also?

You implied that they came legally and that's a whole different story. Of course legal immigrants want others to follow the rules just like they did.

That explains your views about "reform." No offense intended, btw.

Right now, they say that Cruz has no chance. I listened to every speech at the South Carolina Freedom Summit. He had, hands down, the best response of any speaker on the stage.

Dang it, I hate that the "positive" reps are limited! Good post and so true!

Hey! Cruz is the man. Endorse him, defend him, stand behind the ideals he espouses. He can talk the talk. If he's not nominated, I wouldn't vote, if I were you. Based on Patriotic Principal, you understand.

Well, at lest Jeb is giving the single finger salute to the "Iowa Strawmen Collective". That shows some sense.

And hence the T-Nutjobs are going after poor ol' Jeb...

Oh geez, not another one. It isn't about Hispanics who came here legally it's about many that were born here (anchor babies come to mind) and are citizens of this country who have relatives in this country illegally. I even know of Hispanics who don't have a relative here illegally but they still want amnesty for illegal aliens because of their tribal mentality. Aside from someone's personal experience with a few of them all of the facts continue to be ignored. I give up!

The NCLR represents the sentiments of many Hispanics. Are YOU kidding me? I also provided a couple more links but of course you ignored those. I'm done with you and your continued denial of the facts.
