(10,362 posts)They'll both go on Telemundo speaking fluent Spanish. Their families are diverse looking. If one were to formulate the perfect families to capture the Latino vote, you couldn't find a better mix. Rubio's wife is the all-American cheerleader (she was for the Dolphins), and Jeb's wife is actually from Mexico. She looks very AmerIndian. Jeb is a known Hispanophile, and that isn't a derogatory term. He really does seem to love Hispanic cultures. Rubio will tempt the Cuban community from Florida with the immigrant success story. He likes gangster rap.
This will piss off many anti-immigrant Republicans. But if Jeb should make it past the primary, which I'm hoping won't happen, Houston we have a problem. The usual strategies won't work against them.
Not to mention they are both from Florida. Throw in FL and the Hispanic vote, and we are in deep trouble. How are we going to counter that? As far as I can tell, none of our candidates speak fluent Spanish.
