“It will be as big or bigger than anybody else in this election, Democrat or Republican,” Hispanic outreach director Jose Mallea told BuzzFeed News. A laser focus on getting Latino voters to meet and get to know Jeb Bush and his family.
Jeb Bush was loose before his campaign kickoff event Monday in Miami, joking around backstage and letting loose a dirty word in Spanish, a “colloquial street Miami thing,” said Jose Mallea, Bush’s hire for connecting with Hispanic voters.
“I don’t want to repeat it, it was a curse word,” he said in a phone interview.
That wasn’t all, of course. He spoke in Spanish to the crowd, asking them to join his “cause of opportunity for all, the cause of all who love liberty, the noble cause of the United States.”
It’s this biculturalism — a comfort level he has speaking to Latinos, from Cubans in Miami to Mexican-Americans like his wife and kids or Puerto Ricans when he ran his dad’s primary campaign there in 1980, that supporters and Latino Republicans say gives him an edge on other Republican candidates, and one the Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton doesn’t actually possess.
Beyond the conventional wisdom that Latinos will be charmed by a former governor from a famous family who speaks their language fluently, Bush’s campaign is already making plans to weaponize those advantages into a vigorous effort to convince Latinos to vote Republican, a long-term effort to bring people out for Bush in key states, if not necessarily in some of the early primary states that come first.

lol. He’ll be the first Spanish president!!
With a good conservative message, an anti amnesty republican can get 35 percent of the Hispanic (I thought we were all Americans) vote.
That and a strong conservative turnout and the hatred of pantsuit and we can win.
Go away jeb, for the good of the country. You NWO punk.
Oh good Lord. He’s all about Amnesty and he STILL won’t get the Latino vote. Period.
...”and I promise you a Chevy in every garage an two burritos in every microwave”
If he has to give stump speeches in Spanish the country is already lost.
Any candidate that that wishes to lead America and speaks in foreign language during a speech skills automatically be disqualified.
Yeah, he just wants to rub everyone's noses in that fact that Jeb is proficient in the use of "in" Latino slang.
I wonder what the word was: "Deportáción?"

“Reaching out” to a specific group just validates the idea that this is not ONE nation, indivisible.
JEB: "¡Mira! I married a Mexican. Stand up, Columba."
Columba: "I am standing up."
