W got a much greater share of the Hispanic vote than Romney. Jeb is going to do at least as well as that, if not a little better. For that reason alone, Jeb will be a better candidate than Romney.
You are confident.
Not really. Why do you think Jeb would do worse than W among Hispanics? W's support for amnesty was mumbled because he didn't want to offend his party. Jeb is much more enthusiastic.
The 2012 election did some serious damage to the Hispanic perception of Republicans. Plus, we still have the whole primary season to go through, and just throwing a couple of "your views are offensive" lines at Donald Trump won't make up for the fact that everyone on that stage is going to be seen as part of the anti-immigration, anti-Latino posse. Jeb might do better among Latinos than other Republicans running, but he'll be
extremely lucky to break 30% support in the general if he is nominated.
