3. Understand it was snark but people should be aware of who his wife is

She is the daughter of a Mexican migrant worker.

Jeb Bush is the only Republican that could unite the Republican party and give a credible outreach to the Hispanic population and why I believe he will be the nominee.



Bush was born as Columba Garnica Gallo in León, Guanajuato, Mexico, where she grew up and attended high school. Her parents were José María Garnica, a migrant worker, and Josefina Gallo. She met Jeb Bush in 1971 in León, where he was teaching English as part of a foreign exchange program. They were married on February 23, 1974, in Austin, Texas.[2] The couple have three children: George P. Bush, Noelle Bush and John Ellis Bush, Jr.
