Presidential hopeful Jeb Bush put his Spanish-speaking skills to work Monday in a wide-ranging sitdown with Telemundo’s José Díaz-Balart that covered everything from the influence of Latin culture on his life to a promise of immigration reform to his thoughts on Cuba and Puerto Rico.
The former Florida governor, whose wife, Columba, is from Mexico, speaks Spanish fluently.
“We eat Mexican food at home, our children are Hispanic, and yes, the Hispanic influence is important,” Bush said according to excerpts from the interview, which he gave in Orlando.
Bush — among the many GOP hopefuls courting the Latino vote — took a poke at rival Donald Trump for his incendiary comments about Mexico and its immigrants.
“I was hurt hearing somebody speaking in such a vulgar fashion. This makes the solving of this problem much more difficult. When we have politicians talking like that, we cannot progress,” Bush said of Trump, who maintains that Mexico is sending “rapists” and other criminals across the border.
Asked about the Obama Administration’s re-establishment of diplomatic relations with Cuba, Bush chastised the President for “recognizing the Castro brothers without getting anything in return.”
Added Bush, according to a transcript, “Dictators are not going to leave quietly at night, they don’t leave. We must be vigilant and this President does not recognize that.”

¡Yeb! wants you to vote to turn the U.S.A. into North Mexico.
Don’t do it.
I hope Cruz and Trump make mince meat out of this dough boy during the debates. Let little Jebbie stand in the corner crying and sucking his big fat thumb.
Go run for president of Mexico.
Why do FL and TX people still like a bush?
That from the elitist snob who tells us that his campaign will be the "adult conversation" and that all those coming across our borders illegally are committing an "act of love" I guess we shouldn't question at all, their motives are so pure and special.
Can't stand this elitist snob.
Chingate cabron!
“Por favor, vote for me and I will make sure everyone gets free chit”.
Your amigo,
¡Yeb!
I hope the majority of our population stays out of the Bush’es this election.
Noone every told them we don’t need dynasties here, I guess.
I like Laura—that’s the best thing I can say about them.
Notice this jackhole not even once say American, instead of going all all out mexiclown.
!Yeb you pinche cabron!
What issues pertains to latinos that do not pertain to anybody else?
Boggles the mind, doesn’t it?
He holds Americans in contempt and thinks they’re stupid enough to vote for him.
Well, some will be. Watch the GOPe shills.
The more this utterly evil human speaks the more I can't stand him.
If he keeps up with the love of third world degenerates flooding into our dying Republic the more certain it is that I will be so p*ssed at the GOPe (if Yeb gets the node) that I will vote for the RAT.
The evil GOPe will NEVER get my support.
Yeb Bush as president will be as destructive as the last 8 years.
Our Republic will not survive the likes of Yeb as president.
What have I missed here? Why is it necessary for Yeb to talk to Telemundo, anyway? The guy is sick. He’s running for president of what country?
Muy equivocado.
