41. I wonder if having an Hispanic surname will help him at all with Hispanic voters.

I certainly don't think he could get a majority of Hispanic voters, but in a close election getting only a few percentage points more than Romney got from that voting demographic might make a difference.

But having said that, I don't think that the 2016 election will be a close election no matter who the GOP nominee is. I'm sticking by my Democrats by a landslide prediction. The Republican Party has just gone too far off the deep end and IMO they are unelectable nationally. However they might get enough support from red states and red districts to continue to do mischief in Congress.
