I think that he could realistically win. If he were able to mobilize the hispanic vote, he could win. His wife is Mexican, and I don't mean she's like... third generation, but she was born in Mexico. Jeb speaks fluent spanish, something I wouldn't discount as an advantage. Something like 15-20% of adults of voting age in the US identify as Latino. Only about 50% of them vote, but that is still a huge number. If he's able to get that demo, add in some independents and the normal GOP base, he could do it.
