How A White Republican Can Win The Hispanic Vote

...become Hispanic:

Jeb Bush identified himself as 'Hispanic' on 2009 voter form


On a 2009 voter registration form, Jeb Bush identified himself as Hispanic.

The former Florida governor and 2016 Republican presidential hopeful often boasts his deep ties to the Hispanic community — he speaks fluent Spanish, his wife is Mexican and he lived in Venezuela for two years. And according to a 2009 Miami-Dade County Elections Department voter-registration application form, he marked Hispanic in the "race/ethnicity" field.

A Bush spokeswoman could not explain the characterization to the New York Times, which found the voter registration form.

Bush, who has not yet officially declared his intentions for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, currently leads a RealClearPolitics average of polls. With 16.8 points, Bush is a mere 0.6 points ahead of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

And Bill Clinton was America's first black prez (Sorry O). Oh, and let's not forget Warren. She's a Native American. I guess if the masses will lap it up...

Bush's response:

“I have no clue what happened,” he says. “I appreciate the New York Times using all these valuable resources to point out the obvious: I am not Hispanic. Wow. That’s a Pultizer Prize–winning fact, I guess.”

The former governor of Florida again added: “I have no clue how that happened . . .”

Earlier in the day, he had some fun on Twitter with his son about it:

My mistake! Don’t think I’ve fooled anyone! RT @JebBushJr LOL – come on dad, think you checked the wrong box #HonoraryLatino — Jeb Bush (@JebBush) April 6, 2015
​

In a similar spirit, he adds on the phone today, “I guess . . . there wasn’t a little box that said WASP?” Of course, that wouldn’t quite work either, he says, since he converted to Catholicism two decades ago.

Like I said, he's smart, compared to his brother, but a bumbler, like his brother.

So the NYT can find a ballot of Jeb Bush from 2009, but nobody could find a single neighbor, friend, or anyone in the United States who knew Obama before he went to college?

And speaking of college...how about the chosen one's sealed records???

So he's either a bumbler, a liar, or a bumbling liar. It has to be one of those things.

And considering that he is the best of the pitiful GOP lot, that's pretty sad.

This is clearly far more significant than Hillary's secret email servers, which have now been scrubbed, Bengahzi, illegal immigration or the iran deal.
