Radio host Hugh Hewitt talked up the potential for the GOP 2016 field among Latino-Americans Thursday, saying multiple candidates could tap the voting bloc by participating in an all-Spanish debate.
Hewitt, who is currently out promoting his book The Queen, told Larry King that while the likes of Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz could do their own debate in Spanish, Hillary Clinton cant order at Taco Bell. The conservative radio host made the comment when discussing the perfect ticket for the GOP in 2016.
The perfect ticket will be able to appeal to not just white males over the age of 40. Theyll be able to talk to Latino-Americans. Theyll be able to talk to African-Americans. Theyll be able to talk to young single women. We havent done a very good job at that, Hewitt said. Mitt Romney got smashed in the Latino demographic in 2012. I think he said just this last week
if he had anything to do over again, hed go to the African-American community and the Latino community earlier. I think our perfect ticket will do just that.

“Hugh Hewitt: Rubio, Cruz, Jeb Could Do All-Spanish Debate...”
...and further alienate conservatives.
And .. the Hispanic children are not encouraged to learn English.
In CA we had a whole generation who could not conduct a simple conversation in English. They became unable to find a job; unable to hold a job; went on welfare.
This was the result of the LEFT’s “bi-lingual education” CRAP. When that got stopped .. we had more Hispanics who could speak English very well. Sadly, the LEFT thinks we’re hurting people by forcing them to learn English.
The left are idiots.
I took Spanish because I wanted to in sixth grade.
I took four years of Latin in high school because I wanted to.
I don’t remember more than a few words of each.
Being able to fluently speak Spanish is no sort of test at all for an American president.
Del Taco and Taco Bell don’t have Spanish menus
I believe Cruz is fluent in Spanish, so what, this is America. My sister was fluent in 5 languages, so what, this is the USA, English should be recognized as official language.
Don’t encourage a situation like Canada where they sing the national anthem in 2 languages.
Now she's back on the bus
They see the "hispanic" voting block, if there is such a thing, much the same way as corporate America looked at China 25 years ago - the answer to all their prayers, if they could just figure out how to crack it.
A friend of mine took 6 years of Latin...but said it was really hard to find someone who spoke conversational Latin.
Hugh Hewitt is a GOPe pimp. He pushed Romney for years. His candidate lost big. Why would anybody listen to his advice?
she needs to call an assistant to tell them to call another assistant to tell them to do it for her.
by which time it is cold and even more unpalatable than when it emerged from the oven...but she would eat it if the cameras were there to record it, and cackle about how deleicious it is...
Well why don’t we just cut to the chase and elect a Mexican citizen to run North Mexico???
This has become completely absurd. Liberal white guilt gone overboard.
But Hillary can turn on the “stand by your man” southern drawl or the “I ain’t no ways tard” black dialect better than any other pol.
It is indeed
The ancient Greek I took in college even more so. At least in Oklahoma.
I took four years of Latin in high school because I wanted to.
Debes iterum eam cognoscere...
Jeb Bush should make a run for the border.
If they are in America, why should anybody need to know Spanish to order at Taco Bell?
“Me liko uno softo taco with groundo meato.
E un grande popo orgango and some nacho chipos.”
