Fox News commentator Geraldo Rivera in a Twitter post argued Jeb Bush, one of the Republican Party presidential hopefuls, is more Latino than Republican Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, who are both of Cuban descent.

The tweet from Tuesday stated that Bush, who speaks Spanish fluently and has a Mexican-born wife, represents the Latino community better than Sens. Rubio and Cruz who are both Latino. Sen. Rubio speaks Spanish fluently and both men’s parents emigrated from Cuba.

In a second tweet posted on Wednesday he forged on with the same argument, praising the Republican candidate for his pristine Spanish, which Rivera said would help Bush among Latino voters.

Appearing on Fox News’ “The Five,” Rivera explained his reasoning further, arguing that Bush’s family, including his son George P. Bush, Texas land commissioner, are Latino and speak Spanish.

“Marco Rubio is of Cuba descent,” Rivera asserted. “Cubans tend to be a small splinter, a right-wing Republican splinter, of the broader Democratic Latino community.”

Rivera believes Bush will beat Sen. Rubio in Florida. However, the numbers may not align with Bush. A report conducted by Bloomberg Politics with the University of Florida found more Floridians may be more familiar with Sen. Rubio than Bush.

Despite being governor of the state for 1999 to 2007, Bush may struggle with getting his message out there. Due to Florida’s unique demographic situation--the state has the highest rate of senior residents and is one of the most-transient states--the same group of people who voted for Bush in 2002, his last election, have either passed away or moved. Similarly, a new group of citizens has entered the state.

Sen. Rubio enjoys the advantage of having his last election on 2010 so more of the voters remember him. Only 3.5 million of the 5.14 million people who voted in 2002 remain in the voter rolls. Conversely, 5.05 million of the 5.46 million who voted during Sen. Rubio’s election remain registered.

Even though Rivera argues Bush may do well with Latinos because his wife, Columba, was born in Mexico, this may not help in Florida where 30 percent of the population is of Cuban descent, according to a Pew Research report.

But, if Bush survives the primaries and becomes the party's nominee, Mrs. Bush's heritage may help him, since 64 percent of Latinos are of Mexican descent.
