To be fair, that IS what the talk-show demagogues tell him.

Sad that people are gullible enough to believe such obvious nonsense.

McCain has a history of melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer. You better believe his VP pick was an important consideration. The vapid, uninformed, intellectually challenged Palin killed McCain's chances. Thank God.

Default If Jeb is the nominee, how do Democrats win the Hispanic vote?

In the GOP corner, you'll have a man who is fluent in Spanish, Catholic, softer (probably a moderate) on immigration, and a very successful Mexican-American wife.

In the Democrat corner, you have an old, crusty dishonest white lady who has no accomplishments and owes her entire political life to her husband's presidency.

How do Democrats win the Hispanic vote? You know what, scratch that because Jeb doesn't need to actually win hispanics.

The question is this: How would Democrats ensure Jeb doesn't get over 40% of the Hispanic vote.?

Jeb is running on the Republican platform. That's how.

This.

If he somehow manages to get the nomination without running to the right, he could be a serious candidate. He's probably the only candidate on the right who, at this point, appears to be a serious threat.

No he doesn't need to win Hispanics! Just his rich Wall Street banker friends. He can speak Spanish all he wants as long as he is speaking Dollar bills.

Exactly, even though "he is a Bush" he is the most electable Republican candidate of the serious candidates. The others are much too far right. Hopefully Bus isn't pulled too far to the right in the elections...

The Democrats will win the Latino vote in 2016 regardless of who the GOP nominee is. The real question is whether the GOP win enough of the Latino vote (35%-40%) to make a difference in states like Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, etc. With Bush and/or Rubio on the ticket, I believe that they can, though nothing is guaranteed. And, note, the GOP can and probably will (depending on who the nominee is) win the Latino vote outright in Florida.

Jeb Bush. Jeb Bush. Jeb BUSH. We don't let people forget that while Jeb Bush wants his campaign to run away from his last name, there will be plenty of Democrats out there who won't let the public forget that Jeb Bush is the brother to George Bush and his failed presidency that we're still paying for. His cutesy little first name only logo isn't fooling anyone of its intend.

Oh, and Hillard Clinton's VP choice will be designed to pull in the Latino vote.

Really? Just what possible VP choice could she make to pull in the Latino vote? Why would it matter when she has already promised to continue to follow Obama's illegal immigration policies?
