You can tell that campaign season is fully underway when Jeb Bush’s wife takes to social media for the first time ever – well before his campaign for president has even been officially announced. Columba Bush, originally from Mexico and fluent in Spanish, recently opened separate Twitter and Instagram accounts to begin the process of introducing herself to voters.
Wives of presidential candidates are usually used as a way to soften their husbands’ public images and broaden their appeal to female voters.
According to BuzzFeed, there’s another political strategy in place here: The Jeb Bush campaign wants to appeal to younger Hispanic millennials, who use social media more than other ethnic demographics.
Statistics show that Hispanics of all ages lead other races when it comes to social media activity. The Pew Research Center’s Internet Project confirms that some 80 percent of Hispanics use social media, while 72 percent of all Americans use the medium. More specifically, 68 percent of Hispanics say they use Twitter and Facebook, compared with only 58 percent of the total population.
This is where Mrs. Bush’s proficiency in Spanish and commitment to posting Spanish social media updates can be useful to the former Florida governor’s campaign, should he choose to run (evidence, such as this, point to an expected announcement). It’s widely expected that Mr. Bush will run for president in 2016.

SHE has been sent on a fool’s errand-Many and more professional politicians have tried chasing THAT rainbow.
Somebody needs to quietly tell the RNC that if Jeb Bush doesn’t pull a win in an open primary state due to the migration of Democrat voters, then it’s time to sit down, shut up and watch as the only really important question is put to Latinos: “Is Hispanic the new black?”.
If the answer is yes, they need to keep migrating north...Canada’s very nice and that portion of the female population which qualifies for inclusion in the dopey middle class white woman constituency is even dopier and whiter than the US’s...
YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!!!
Jeb Bush murdered Terri Schiavo.
Sorry. I crossed Phase Line GiveARatsAss many moons ago. Hey, if I’m a chauvinist, racist oppressor, so be it. Might as well have fun doing the things you’re accused of and watch the other side squeal like non-Halal porcine nourishment. Just don’t insult my intelligence and pretend this is anything but the lazy using the force of law to compel me to support them.
Personally, I think I ought to be able to go online to the SNAP website, and find someone enrolled in the program who lives locally and whose meals I’m buying via food stamps— and they need to come over and wash the car, do the yardwork, laundry—
You know, the little bastards don’t even say “thank you” for the free phones, public transport passes, health insurance, housing subsidies, food stamps, public education, etc. Want to impress me? They can show some GD gratitude.
That couple along with the Clintons should take a long walk off a short pier.
Ah, yes, Hispanics. The only people who matter anymore.
Okay, that brought a laugh, and the others in the cube farm are staring at me...
