Bush: Romney Must Show Heart to Connect With Hispanic Voters

Throughout the campaign season, many people have been wondering who exactly is Mitt Romney. Critics have said that Romney is not connected to voters and President Barack Obama has taken advantage of that disconnection by defining Romney in various attack ads.

At the Republican National Convention, the GOP has been aggressively trying to soften Romney's image with various speakers, which included his wife Ann Romney.

In an interview with Good Morning America's George Stephanopoulos, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said in order for Romney to woo over voters, "it's important to connect emotionally."

"That gives you the chance to allow people in...he has to do that for sure," Bush said. "But it doesn't have to be, the standards that the observers will have will be so high and so psycho-babbly that he won't be able to reach that for sure but connecting well and he has a great chance tonight to offer an alternative. Not just to point out the president's failings but to offer an alternative that lifts the spirits of the country."

Romney will speak at the RNC on Friday night and according to Bush, Romney must show his heart to woo over voters.

In his speech. Romney will be trying to get Hispanics to like him, a group that doesn't really favor him.

For that to happen, Romney and the GOP must stop "acting stupid" about issues that matter to Hispanic voters, according to Bush.

In a interview with CBS This Morning, Bush said Romney has begun to shift his focus to concentrate on voters that are outside the traditional base of the Republican party - Hispanics and younger voters.

"Demography is destiny in America," Bush said. "Ten years from now, Hispanic voters will be not only the deciding vote in swing states, but increasingly in a lot of other states." "It's smart politics."

The Republicans have chosen Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, Texas Rep. Francisco Canseco, Sher Valenzuela, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor of Delaware; Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval, Ted Cruz, GOP Senate nominee from Texas, First Lady of Puerto Rico Luce Vela Fortuno and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez to speak at the Republican National Convention in Tampa.

"There are great Hispanic leaders that have spoken," Bush said. "They are great emerging leaders in there state."

Bush said that the GOP has a chance to connect with Hispanics, but must realize that "it's stupid to threaten to put kerosene on your head and a match on this side and go, 'If you don't change how you are, I'm going to light it.'"

Bush will speak tonight.
