Jeb bush paul Ryan or Rand paul. Rubio has a shot but I don't think he would make it through the primaries

Bush2 got 44% of hispanics in 2004.
I think mccain got mid-30s% of hispanics?
Romney got 27% of hispanics in 2012.

I think the GOP has a mandate from minute #1 - Choose a hispanic.  It explains why Rubio is already in Iowa.  He's running, and letting everyone know early. 

And aside from jeb (who already said he'd put rubio on the ticket), who would voters pick?  that hispanic gap HAS to be the #1 issue for them.

Jeb with rubio as VP sounds plausible.  Conservatives want Latino appeal but they don't actually want a Latino lol

that might be highly accurate.   And jeb told Romney to pick Rubio (it probably would have won him the election).

And Jeb might just say from minute #1, I will choose Rubio if I win.   I'll serve my terms, then he can serve 8 years as well.  He will immediately win that nomination.

Let's hope the GOP isn't that intelligent
