Jeb Bush to seek Latino support in Central Florida (Writing off IA, NH, SC?)
Washington Post ^ | 7/27/15 | Ed O'Keefe

Posted on 07/27/2015 9:47:21 AM PDT by jimbo123

Jeb Bush hasn't campaigned for himself in this part of Florida since 2002, but on Monday, he will return here to reconnect with former supporters and make an overt appeal to the region's fast-growing Latino population.

In a first as a presidential candidate, the Republican plans to sit for a Spanish-language interview with a Telemundo news anchor. He will meet with dozens of mostly Hispanic evangelical pastors at a mega-church, visit a small business owned by a Mexican immigrant and try to introduce himself to the hundreds of thousands of people who have moved to this transient region in the eight years since he left the governor's mansion.

The Florida Republican presidential primary isn't until March 15 — several weeks into the primary process and long after the GOP contest will start taking shape in Iowa, New Hampshire and elsewhere.

Hey, just like the ‘Rats: if you don’t have the support of the Americans, you can always try the Handouts Gig with the non-Americans.

Much like Hillary, Jeb doesn’t realize his presidential chances are starting to swirl down the drain.

“Amnesty to all” Bush is a loser.

I’d think Bush would campaign in the Florida Hispanic areas regardless of his early primary prospects. I’d also think his efforts in this area might pay off if the democratic primary is not competitive and if the Hispanic voters want to vote against Trump.

Since most 'hispanic' voters are against illegal aliens, whom pray on their communities, degrade their job prospects, and crush most schools, that number will be pretty dang small. Even in liberal utopia California, a majority of 'hispanic' voters passed legislation (mostly overturned in courts) to deny benefits to illegals, including schools, bilingual education, immersive education (why include English at all?), and the ever popular illegal aliens with anchor baby road into welfare.

Almost all the activists for illegal aliens are liberals who won't vote for anyone with an (R) after their name to begin with. The others are union activists who see illegals as a gold mine to strip for loads of union dues, and also would never vote for someone with an (R) after their name.

Only a delusional narcissist would imagine that they could basically campaign with a Democrat agenda on the issue and somehow gain 'hispanic' votes. Which is pretty much most of the GOPe field.

¡Yeb! can go straight to hell.

I will never vote for the U.S.A. to be turned into North Mexico.

We have enough poverty and crime without importing more.

He's putting all his eggs in the Florida basket because that strategy worked out so well for Rudi Guiliani in 2008. Anybody remember?

I don’t know how many Hispanic voters would like to enforce immigration laws. I do know one Hispanic voter very well who is definitely pissed off at illegal immigrants getting money that eventually comes from our taxes.
I do however think the voting patterns of Hispanics in a general election might be different from the voting patterns in a primary. Specifically I’d be concerned that cross over voters who have no intention of voting for the Republican candidate in November might be motivated to vote in a primary, especially if the primary in their party is not competitive.
I’d also think the new Puerto Rican voters might be a very Democrat and liberal constituency that, as citizens, are all allowed to vote.

Jeb just a few minutes ago said that deporting illegals is not an American value.

Yeah, Jeb, let us know when your "compassion" has you removing the locks from your doors and a big "HELP YOURSELF" sign in front of your house.

Oh, wait. He means OURS, not his. Got it.
