The Republicans need to stop the bullshite and embrace the Hispanic community if they are to survive.

As I said before, there won't be another First Black President. The First Woman President won't do it for Hillary, because, IMO, people are tired of her.

Honestly, the Republicans are really fricking themselves with the Hispanics.

I agree completely. They're also fricking themselves with conservative blacks that hate the social issue policies of the Democratic Party.

Democrats in turn are championing a younger, more urbanized, diverse, and secular "Coalition of Transformation" that welcomes the evolution in America's racial composition and cultural mores.
Don't believe everything you read.

Hypothetical, Toddy; Warren vs. Rand. Who you got?

It's what the Hispanics believe. They can save the Republican Party if they drop the bullshite against them. Their values completely align, and it's really their only hope for long term survival.

Which ones? Last stat I saw showed that Hispanics utilize "entitlement" programs at quite a clip...
A general Catholic leaning is fine and all, but when dollars are involved, they often win.

The GOP needs to do a much better PR job with this.
Why can't they? And please DO NOT blame the "biased liberal press".

I love how liberals love Mexican immigration, but at the same time decry the downward trend in wages.
Amnesty is not popular in the rust belt.

Oh Lord, that's a HUGE hypothetical. I think Rand could win. But, he's never going to get the nomination. So there's that.

If that is what you want, more power to you. Just be prepared for the negatives.

I know, but I just wanted to know who you would vote for out of the two.

What would you have them do? And please DO NOT say adopt the Democrat platform.

True statement, but if I were in charge of the Republican Party's PR, I'd almost solely target the Hispanics.

Their religious beliefs for starters. If they were middle class white people, no fricking way would they be democrats as a whole with their values.

George Bush pulled in like 50% of the Mexican vote in 2004, against a CATHOLIC. I don't know how the hell that happened.

What happens if the traditionally hard working, family oriented, catholic hispanics start Identifying with Conservatives?
Hmmmmm
