The amazing thing is, if they weren't a bunch of racist assholes, they'd be unbeatable. Mexicans for the most part are conservative christian people. They are pretty well perfectly aligned with the conservative base of the repubs. If they were aligned with the repubs, they'd be unbeatable.

You are exactly correct. What's more, because of changing demographics conservative Hispanics are the best, perhaps even the only chance for the future of the Republican party as it currently exists. Trump may as well be pouring gasoline on his party and setting fire to it.

They are socially conservative but hispanics are typically not a rich demographic. Republican fiscal policies are all set dead against them. The racism is a massive boner killer for hispanics though, you're right.
