Hillary Clinton’s announcement emulated the style of the presidency itself: vast, formal, the spotlight narrowly focused on one person. Jeb Bush’s announcement was that of a humble office-seeker facing a tough race: a rally in a compact space, lots of cheering and amateurish music, introductions of introductions, culminating in the candidate in open shirt jogging his way onto the stage. Message: I’m fit! Message: I’m accessible! Message: I’m unentitled!

I was slightly off in my predictions on what the turn of events might be in 2016. Maybe the Latino/Hispanic vote can mobilize enough people to swing Texas toward the Democrats for the first time, but I doubt it. Eight years from now could be a different story.

Let me express, at this point in time, I want Bernie Sanders to rise to presidency, based solely upon the data that I have been exposed to regarding his track records and ideologies.

I believe that Hillary Clinton will (unfortunately) take the Democrats' votes next fall, with Julian Castro on the ticket as vice president to garner the Hispanic vote.

If you think someone with the last name of "Bush" can count on the votes from the Hispanic populations of Texas and Florida, you are only kidding yourself. It will be a double minority combo, with a female president and a Hispanic VP that ends up winning the woman and Hispanic vote, which will be more deciding this election than ever before. It will be especially interesting to see how this plays out in the Texas and Florida electorate.

The trend of Hispanic voter influencing will continue in many major southern states.

Let's see what happens.
