In reply to the discussion: Palin for President 2016? [View all]bluestate10
(10,942 posts)16. I seriously doubt the GOP base will nominate a Hispanic for the top of the ticket.
They may put a watered down fire talking Hispanic in the VP spot, but the ones available have ethical of image problems. Democrats are far better positioned to have a genuine Hispanic ticket topper by no later than 2024. A Castro/Kennedy ticket would be fucking unbeatable in 2024, Castro would be a bit older, but Kennedy would be only something like 49 after serving eight years as Veep and 57 after serving eight years as President.
