themselves that, by 're-branding the message' (or, in this case the Messenger) is going to give them big inroads into the Latino vote. With their usual lack of interest in or understanding of any issue that can't be expressed in a 30-second sound bite they fail to understand that Rubio, a Cuban immigrant has no particular appeal to the majority of Latinos in the U.S., Mexicans and citizens of Puerto Rico. The fact that they all 'speak Spanish' is almost irrelevant to the process. Let's hope they keep propping up Rubio in every forum from now to 2016 - he should self-destruct nicely well before the next round of Presidential elections.
