I think early numbers showed only 8% of the caucus participants were Hispanic in Nevada (which was the same percent the Republicans saw in 2008). Even if Trump had won 100% of all the Hispanic vote that participated, it's still a dangerously low number. And let's keep it real, Trump isn't the type of guy who is going to capture the undecided Latinos. Especially after threatening to go after birth right citizenship (and as we all know, a lot of Hispanic citizens benefited from that).
And don't get me started with the African American Vote. It only represented 1% of the total republican caucus.
RNC is in trouble and Trump isn't the guy to bring in the undecided minority vote. Republicans failed to get the Latino vote in 2008 and lost. They did even worse with latinos 2012, and lost.
If this trend continues, it's going to be Hillary 2016 and the continued assault on society by the ultra liberal radicals. It used to be I was a straight guy, but now that's not even politically correct (because apparently it makes others feel different
). The correct term is now heterosexual Cisgendered male individual. 
. Somebody stop this nonsense!

Yeah but there really isn't any candidate that will bring in the minority vote to the Republicans. If two Cubans can't outdo Trump on that metric no one can.
Plus quite frankly the need for Republicans to court hispanics is completely overrated. So far the Democrats haven't done much to show that they deserve the Hispanic vote, and overall hispanics don't vote at the same rate other races do so even if the demographics show a major population shift by 2050 it might be another 20 years past that for it to matter in elections.
quote:
Overall, 48% of Hispanic eligible voters turned out to vote in 2012, down from 49.9% in 2008. By comparison, the 2012 voter turnout rate among blacks was 66.6% and among whites was 64.1%, both significantly higher than the turnout rate among Hispanics.

The much bigger problem for the Republicans than hispanics are youths. Young voters' (including hispanic youths) enthusiasm for Bernie gives the GOP a glimpse of a very scary future. While the GOP was fighting for mom votes and religious votes the last 15 years, Jon Stewart night after night pretty much ruined the Republican brand with anyone under the age of 40.

My response to that is to tell them that I'm deeply offended by their lack of personal resiliency and fortitude. As a result, they have ruined my safe space and should leave.
