So, hypothetically, Republicans would vote for these unicorn candidates . . . except, like unicorns, none of them ever end up showing up on the ballots.
I provided you with legit polling data. You provided nothing to back up your prejudice.
Take away 1 man, Obama, and more Republicans have voted for a black man in the primaries than the Democrats have despite ~95% of blacks voting Democrat.
Republicans elect more minorities proportional to the party than the Democrats who gerrymander districts to be minority-majority, because they don't trust their white liberals to see beyond color.
And you would be wrong. Sarah Palin was a female and she was the Republican VP nominee. As for black, there just have not been any good black republican candidates yet but unlike Democrats who are identity politics slaves, if there ever were one to come along, Republicans will vote for him/her if he/she deserves it.
The only two African American Republican candidates that could have made it into the Oval Office was Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice. When the Republican attempted to place Colin Powell in the Oval Office the White House he firmly rejected the efforts. The Republican Party weren't ready to run a African-American woman (female) for the office of President of the United States of America.

FWIW Michelle Obama would crush Trump if she ran, but she is not going to run. She's had enough and is too smart to get involved in politics.
Oprah is not going to run.
Kamala Harris, I actually like her but she is no Oprah or Michelle Obama. I think they need to go with a good old fashioned white guy to beat Trump (and this is from a black woman) because the country lost its mind over a half black candidate/president and IMO are not ready for a black woman (especially not the conservatives, the liberals would love it, some for the wrong reasons).
Barack Hussein Obama was placed into office mainly by white voters not African Americans!!!
People always ignore this.
The white voters would vote in droves for Michelle Obama. Too many conservatives around here are kidding themselves if they think that white Americans don't love the Obamas. They do. I know many white people who would love Michelle Obama to be president.

Nah.
Colin Powell's famous stunt in the UN where he "proved absolutely" that Saddam Hussean had WMDs and because of it needed to be attacked, ended his political career.
I don't think Condolezza Rice would want to be President because she would have to answer for GW Bush.
But the GOP doesn't play identity politics like the Democrats. Remember, the first Black man to win a seat in the US Senate since the Civil War, Tim Scott, was a Republican.

I would like to see Michelle Obama as President of the United States of America but 1000 x's but.... The Tom Bradley Effect is a strong possibility for Michelle Obama in 2020 .... Take a look at what happened to Tom Bradley who was a very strong candidate and good man a solid stand-up guy that should have been the first African American Governor of California in 1982. White folks loved both Barack Obama and Tom Bradley but when push came down to shove some of those white folks that said that they were going to vote for Bradley voted for his opponent instead , simply because they were not prepared to have a black man in the governor office .... Michelle needs to groom herself a little bit better by being a Governor or Senator before she runs for the office of President of the United States....
