Thank you for making my point. When you say the word Hispanic to most Republicans they can only think of housekeepers, maids, dishwashers, lawn care workers. That, to them, is what being Hispanic means--the hired help. They have no concept of Latinos beyond their own narrow stereotypes.
Numbers don't lie, should we look past facts like most liberals Democrats do and say whatever works best for pandering to voters?
Have you spent any time in a hotel in the last 20 years in this country? 98.5% of the cleaning crew of any average cleaning crew in the US are minority or newly arrived immigrants to this country. I live in the Houston area and I'd bet good money that 75% or more of the lawn care guys working here are Hispanic. Look at any construction crew in this area and you'll find an overwhelming majority are Hispanic.
Bush or Rubio will carry a significant Hispanic vote if they are the Republican nominee.
What do you consider "significant"? 15 to 20 percent? In my opinion neither Bush or Rubio will get a majority and it's not particularly their faults...

Kasich's statement did betray a stereotype. One probably based on his limited life experience. But then, he was just on stage with Rubio who stated that his parent's were a bartender and a maid, two professions that rely on tips so it doesn't help when Kasich's colleagues reinforce the stereotype.
All politicians, Republicans included, make promises that they can't/don't keep once elected. But this wasn't my point. My point is prejudice and ignorance seems to flow freely once conservatives start to speak about minority interests. This is one reason minorities don't vote Republican as a majority and if the powers that be stay there, we never will...
Do you guys actually know any Hispanics? The ones I know are a lot more conservative and religious than you give them credit.
I suspect Jeb Bush or Marco Rubio would carry a much larger Hispanic vote than a Hillary Clinton who could care very little about Hispanics beyond wanting their vote.
Unfortunately, at this time, the Republican front runner is Trump and I don't see him getting any of the Hispanic vote.

He is working just fine with his Democrats. It is because he is one of them with a Republican label.
Kasich is no Democrat. He sneaks anti-abortion laws into other bills, he ties school funding to abiding by his religious beliefs ~ nope, he's definitely Republican.
It's working out quite well. As a group Black Folk are far better off now than at anytime in US history. There's still a long way to go but the white supremacist status quo is losing more and more power by the year...

That's bull****, if you believe that you can't read.
The Obama Admin has made things worse for Black Folk.
Nonsense, he knows 3 other black people and they all claim to be doing better so all those facts and statistics mean nothing. They all are die hard, blind Obama supporters who are just as ignorant as Obama's voting base but that means nothing.
Most Hispanics are Catholic so really, one could argue they are damning their own souls by voting for Democrats that support Planned Parenthood. Of all the sins on Earth, abortion is one of the absolute worst.
