Jeb Bush in imagining himself Hispanic, is not different from Rachel Dolezal, who imagines herself black, or Bruce Jenner, who imagines himself a woman. Except for maybe not the genitalia surgery part.
He “identifies with Latinos”.....
Mexicans understand borders when it comes to their own country, as do people from just about everywhere. I remember listening to a call-in show once where people were calling in angry, bitter, that non-Mexicans were being recruited to play on Mexican soccer teams... mostly players from other latin countries.
I remember Venezuelans being pretty uptight about Colombians working illegally there (back before Venezuelans had to leave their own country in droves). I even remember being told that the Venezuelan army would execute Brazilian miners on the spot that they caught crossing into Venezuelan territory.
A guy like Jeb would be well positioned to explain our constitutional system to new citizens and well able to do it. If only he understood it himself.
He is a disappointment and has been for many years.
His strongest suit is not the Hispanic connection. It is his record as Governor of Florida. He cited some impressive accomplishments.
Vote By Race/Ethnicity 2012
Group Percentage of The Electorate Obama Romney
White 72% 39% 61%
Black 13% 93% 6%
Latino 10% 71% 27%
Asian 3% 73% 26%
Other* 2% 58% 28%
*Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Native Alaskan and more than one race.
Bush has Latino roots??? If he were any more upper class, toffee-nosed white, he would be carrying a lacrosse stick.
I could never vote for Jeb Bush. H
This is supposed to be a constitutional republic for pity’s sake. Four Bush-for-president votes in one lifetime is enough!
No.
That will appeal only to the uneducated, illegal parasites streaming into our country, invited by our illegal manchurian president without a birth certificate or an educational record.
Certainly not this educated, aware and legal U.S. citizen with latino roots!
No! is the same word in both Spanish and English.
I think Fno is different in Spanish though.
I will not vote for anyone who speaks Spanish to get votes.
I don’t remember the Italians,Greeks Chinese,or other groups getting special treatment.
.
He checked the Hispanic box, just like Rachel Dolezal checked the Black box, and it’s going to be a problem that he identifies as Mexican rather than American.
He married in to his “roots.”
