He Was Born Republican Royalty, But 'Jebcito' Is From Miami
NPR ^ | 6/15/15 | Mara Liasson

Posted on 06/15/2015 5:30:17 AM PDT by jimbo123

There are three Republican candidates who ran Spanish-language ads when they announced their presidential intentions — but only one was an Anglo.

Jeb Bush not only speaks fluent Spanish, he has made his home by completely embracing Latino culture and putting down roots in South Florida.

His former aide, Ana Navarro tells a little story that shows just how much he's adopted the culture — one day she suggested something to Bush that he rejected because it was too expensive and then, she said, he touched his elbow with his hand.

"That's a very Hispanic gesture for meaning 'because I'm cheap, because I'm frugal,'" Navarro said. "It means 'I walk with my elbows so as not to wear out my shoes.' In Spanish it would say 'Yo camino con los codos.' And it's that kind of nuance that he fully understands."

To understand why bush only half-jokingly adopted the Twitter hashtag #honorarylatino, you have to understand the path he took to his current home in South Florida. Bush grew up in Midland, Texas, he summered in Maine and went to prep school in Andover, Mass. And it was in high school that his path home really began. He met his wife Columba on a high school exchange trip to Mexico. In college, he majored in Latin American Studies. He converted to Catholicism, and he worked briefly in Venezuala. But the place he chose to put down roots was Miami.

Meanwhile, at GOP Headquarters...

“I Know I Know... lets ignore the millions of conservatives who are dying for someone they can vote for and make sure to nominate Jebcito and Columba on the hopes we will attract a percentage of a minority!”

Yep, just a little too damn much if you ask me. There is no circumstance where he will ever get a vote out of me.

Jebby identifies as a “Latino.” Who are we to be judgmental of his trans-identification!

Hey, if Rachel Dolezal can claim to be black and get away with it for her benefit, Jebbie can claim to be Hispanic and benefit from it. That’s what we’re coming to.

As for me....I’m feeling Arapaho!

LOL. She recounted how Jeb will go outside on a Saturday and ask the gardener to show him how to weed-whack and use the blower. Boy are they trying hard -- really, really, ridiculously hard -- to make Jeb the first Latino president.

Since when did the Office of President of the United States become a family heirloom or a Family Business just to be passed down from one generation to another?

Somehow, I don’t think this what our Founding Fathers had in mind when they went to war against King George, lll.

Somehow, I don't think Jebcito will be touching his hand to his elbow much when he gets his hands on the federal budget and starts spending like his daddy and brother.

I’m fearful though that it’s all the uninformed Republican primary voters know to do.

Okay, Jeb is Hispanic.
And Bruce Jenner is a woman.
And Rachel Dolezal is black.

I’m okay with them playing make believe. My kids did that when they were little, and it’s a fun game. I’m not okay with putting them in charge of any aspect of my life. I won’t help put another pro-Amnesty big government liberal in our White House - eight years of Obama was more than enough. I won’t allow anyone to force me to pretend that Bruce is a woman. I’ll laugh at the contortions over Rachel Dolezal, but I won’t pretend that a tan changes her race (nor will I pretend that race actually matters to anyone sensible).

I’m ready to move on and put the adults in charge. Ted Cruz can cut FedGov back to perhaps 95% of its current size, which would be a huge improvement compared with other options. The NAACP can discretely put a black racist in place to replace the white racist who hoodwinked them. And Bruce’s children can figure out what to do about their mentally ill father.

What a load of BULLCRAP!

Navarro asked the wrong person --Jebs wifey apparently doesn't have a problem spending money. But, wifey also seems to have a problem of sticky fingers.

How much clearer can Jeb Bush make himself and his place in the leftwing engineered destruction of America than by adopting the hashtag "#honorarylatino?"

Just go and live in Mexico, and try to make it more like the US, instead of trying to make the US more like Mexico.
Take the brood with you.

At least the spawn George P the Younger can’t be POTUS.
That old Natural Born thing gets in the way.
