The 2016 election will be entirely decided by the VP selection.
I know it sounds silly, but it will be true especially if the presidential nominee is a WASP or Irish Catholic.
The GOP will likely nominate Rubio, Cruz or Sandoval as the VP and that will bring in lots of Hispanic voters.
I think Jeb has an edge if his Wife gets out the Hispanic vote for him in swing states like Ohio and Colorado.
1. Sandoval can't be on a national ticket. He's pro-choice.
2. Jeb's wife hates the spotlight and is thought to have pulled the plug on his 2012 ambitions.
3. Jeb loses in a blowout. He's a Bush in the 2010s.
No one cares about the VP's issues, just as long as they are fairly competent and well-spoken. Dick Cheney has a gay daughter and supports gay marriage and the religious right didn't care. They want to win the election and for that to happen, the GOP need a hispanic as VP, so Sandoval will get a pass on abortion, just as long as he never talks about it.
