John Kasich, in response to the question, do you have a strategy for attracting a significant chunk of the Latino vote? He answers by saying that Hispanics really should be voting Republican.
"Because they are great, they are God-fearing, hard-working folks. And a lot of them do jobs that they're willing to do.
That's why, in a hotel, you leave a little tip, you know?"
I'm sure he is so tone deaf he has no idea why that is offensive. I thought Kasich was one of the smarter Republican candidates, but apparently I was mistaken.
It doesn't matter whether the GOP gets the hispanic vote or not. Texas is a solid republican state and only 43.5% of its population is non-hispanic white. Hispanics make up 38% of the population and have barely made a dent in Texas politics. In many other red states, a large minority of the population is not white. Georgia is only 59% white and it is still a solid red state. It will take decades of immigration for many red states to become purple much less blue.
As a political party, Republicans will not be able to attract a majority of any American minority vote. When these people open their mouths the truth comes out...

That's right just like when Hillary or any other Socialist Democrat opens their mouths is a lie...
John wasn't belittling them he is praising them for their hard work and determination to succeed here...I tip the hired help don't you?
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.
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.

That's exactly why they will never get my vote. They are too soft on illegals.
