The Hill ^ | January 28, 2015 | Jonathan Easley

Posted on 01/31/2015 10:50:08 AM PST by C19fan

Jeb Bush’s secret weapon in his potential White House bid is his wife of 40 years, Columba Bush, supporters of the former Florida governor say.

Columba, who would be the nation’s first Hispanic first lady if her husband wins the presidency, largely eschewed the public spotlight in Florida and is known for having a shy public demeanor.

He is a RINO.

He will lose.

Period.

He is a RINO.

He would lose...

...if ballots cast by actual voters had anything to do with picking who the President of the United States is.

Yep. I don't care if his wife is a Martian and speaks in beeps at home, as US President, his fidelity is supposed to be to American citizens. What in the world is wrong with these people?

No no no to jebbush. I’ve voted too many times for the lesser of the two evils. Jebbush and Hitlery really should share the same campaign slogan “what difference does it make?”

If I had the choice to vote for Jeb or a steaming, not turd, I would vote for the turd. Did you hear that, Hillary? Time to put on your brown pants suit.

Why is it so special that they learned Spanish? Columba is still frumpy and looks like she could be frightened by a glass of water-not a 1st lady I want. Here in S/W Texas, ranchers and business owners of all ethnicities speak Spanish to do business with Mexican tourists and livestock buyers-it is not a big deal. Considering the number of Cuban Americans in Florida, I’m pretty sure that plenty of people speak Spanish there, too.

English is my first/primary language, but I learned Spanish at home as a child-as a second language, and I speak it without a gringo accent. If you are going to learn a second language, learn it right-Jeb’s Spanish is awful-I hope what’s-her-name taught the kids to speak it correctly.

I don’t care if he and his whole family speak French, Russian and Klingon like natives, Jeb Bush is still a RINO-and I’m certainly not the only person of Latino ancestry who thinks so, or that his insipid wife is no “asset”...

A Bush v. Clinton race is really too depressing to contemplate. Perhaps we should be spreading that meme asap.

It was no different when it was all Spanish territory-they just called them Kings instead of caudillos and dictators-an awful lot of our ancestors left Spain and then Mexico to get away from that-they figured the wilderness that was Texas and NM was better...

She is the main reason, but only one of many, that I will never vote for Jeb Bush. And that’s a promise, not a threat.
She will lose him many more votes than she will gain him.

Jebster couldn’t save poor Terri Schiavo from her sadistic lawyer fiends, bald headed blind swamp judge and related ghouls. Hows he gonna save America? No guts, no glory Jebbie-—not impressed.
