She's not a Cubano...but a Mexicano and there is a difference politically, even to Hispanics. I believe all of the kids are bi-lingual. The young Hispanics will be voting with even greater influence in 2016. He's the only one I think who can give Hillary a run for her money, and that's if she runs with Julian Castro-Texas. All national candidates have skeletons..Jeb is no different. Both have politically supportive family as seasoned campaigners. That's a big deal.

I've been saying this for some time. They are biding their time, running out the clock. Jeb is even more "entitled" than Hillary while being the "smart one", regardless of Barbara Bush's comment. I saw his latest interview on some talking head show right after Cruz, and Jeb gently relayed the message, to the entire Tea Party, which was in essence, sit down and shut up. He came off acting like the mature head of the family. He's good. Just a few phone calls could put the Bush organization into full speed ahead.
