The race for 2016 has started already...

Part of your problem is the idea that Latinos' main issue is immigration.

Doesn't really matter because Republicans vote for the nominee and they don't want someone who would appeal to blacks and Latinos.

What is the main issue?
 
the #1 issue is immigration. Nothing is close. Then there is education and healthcare.

Hispanics remember.....

Do you get the urge to yawn when talking to him?

Don't get me wrong - I like the guy. He's just challenged in the charisma department.

I know him through one of his oldest friends so every time I have been around he is in "boys" mode. Does not seem like the same stiff guy that is on TV.

Republicans aren't going to move the needle simply by joining Dems on immigration. They'll need to move on other issues as well.
 
My gut says Hilary won't run. I think she knows her window was the two Obama terms.
 
Bill wants her to run. Big money Dems want her to run. Once she takes a year or two off, she'll want to be the first woman POTUS.
 
She's seen what running for the office does to you, up close, three times. I doubt she takes that on at 69.
 
Two big things- First woman POTUS and gets to set the Supreme Court fro the next 20-30 years.

These two will likely be too much to leave on the table.
 
We're a long way from then, but "Hilary 2016" has a losing feel to it. And I don't think the current Dem coalition wants someone that old at the top, man or woman. There are other Dem women that would have appeal, if the party wants a woman at the top of the ticket. Again, I think her window passed, and she knows and accepts it. We'll see.

Oh no Elizabeth Warren no no no no
 
I'm no Republican, but they would be crazy to choose Jeb. They need to stop appearing to live in the past and look to the future. I would hope that if they learned anything from this defeat they would learn that. As a Democrat, I would be happy if they ran him. Yes, he's the best Bush, but he's a Bush.

I read somewhere that Obama was going to install himself as a Socialist dictator and there would be no more elections. #stockuponammo

If (and it is a big if) his last name was not Bush he would have run and won this time. He would have done 30 points better than Romney did with Hispanics.

You think Jeb would have got 57% of the Hispanic vote?
 
Mistype....meant to say 20 points. I do think he would have come close to 50/50.

There's a radio station just for Rush? And nobody told me?

Do they play songs at random or as entire albums?
