Calling on his party to embrace diversity, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush declared Thursday that Republicans will never win the presidency if they don't campaign in "every nook and cranny" of the country - especially in Hispanic and African-American communities.

"I'm running to draw people toward our cause rather than push them away," Bush said during a town hall-style meeting in New Hampshire. "Our message has to be uplifting, positive, hopeful, rather than negative (and) divisive."

Speaking to a predominantly white audience in northern New Hampshire, Bush said Republicans must campaign in Latino communities. He delivered a brief line in Spanish, as he often does while campaigning.

Since we can never hope to compete with the Democrats in the More Free Sh*t arena, how exactly does he propose to do this?

Republicans will never win the presidency if they don't campaign in "every nook and cranny" of the country - especially in Hispanic and African-American communities.

This is a universal truth, not just for Republicans. How else do you explain why Democrats campaign so hard for white working class voters, or the TEA Party?

Hey Jeb!

We do, so quit your pandering.

It is racist to impose SLAVE WAGES on LEGAL immigrants by flooding the labor market with the cheap labor of ILLEGAL immigrants.

Embrace them all you want JEB, they’re never going to vote for you.

[nonliberal]

To the detriment of American culture. Bush is a cuckservative of the first order.

Mark Levin ran the numbers on the Latino vote that Republicans got going back to the 70’s. Reagan got about 25% of it in his landslide wins.

Talk...talk...talk...At least Trump ACTS

What has Trump DONE?

[A CA Guy]

Jeb (the sick bastard) would suggest that Republicans don't do that.
Maybe Jeb and some of his friends don't but most of America not in the GOPe leadership always have.

Now get rid of illegals, build the wall so blacks and others can get jobs. Went to Boston where you saw few Hispanics ad blacks and others were working off the hook.

The world wants a better life for themselves. We can't do anything for them all, they need to turn their own self made hell on earth into a paradise if that is what they want.

One step at a time. At this point we should be satisfied with discouraging them against voting for democrats. We can worry about gaining their vote in the future.

The people of Detroit noticed that Hillary passed through on her way to a white upper middle class Grosse Pointe fundraiser for $2700 per plate. They also noticed that Rand Paul went to the hood of Highland Park to speak and didn't charge a dime.

While Rand Paul does pander, that doesn't mean there isn't a lesson to be learned from him.

Native born Americans are the hardest hit by immigration, legal and illegal. The immigrants take jobs and depress wages.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The old mythical “big tent” thing again. It has never worked for anybody else.

[headstamp 2]

Another moron allowing the left to define the issue.

[Cubs Fan]

Jeb versus hillary

“what difference does it make?”

[Buckeye McFrog]

Nice Republican man came to our struggling neighborhood to listen to our concerns vs. shrill hypocritical Democrat blows us off but is gonna give us more food stamps and Obamaphones.

Sorry, but I just don’t see that as a winning hand.

[o2bfree]

Thanks Jeb Bush we get that you are more liberal than all the other candidates put together.

[cripplecreek]

So do nothing, the democrats will appreciate it a great deal.

[GOPJ]

We’ll send someone to Mexico to embrace them there... NOT here Jeb...

[SoFloFreeper]

Conservatives DO embrace people of ALL RACES....didn’t anyone tell Jeb?

[TexasCajun]

So John Ellis subscribes to the Liberal premise that Republicans are mean & unwelcoming to minorities.

How predictable.
