After the disasterous Mittens run for the Presidency ,the GOP issued an "autopsy " of the Repub party .

Mittens only received 27% of the Hispanic vote and the trend was downward after GW Bush had received up to 44% . This was a concern because the Hispanic electorate was the largest growth demographic, Mittens had suggested that the answer to the border crisis was "self deportation" . The report suggested that instead the GOP should out Dem the Dems in comprehensive immigration reform.
" If we do not, our Party’s appeal will continue to shrink to its core constituencies only.”
A funny thing happened on the way to the new improved Republican Party .Trump was nominated . You remember the narrative. Trump was going to forceably remove all the brown skins ala Andrew Jackson's 'The Indian Removal Act' .
He was exactly opposite to the autopsy's suggestions . His standing with the Hispanic vote slightly improved over Mitten's in 2016 and in 2020 was up to 32% .
His coat tails were reflected in how Hispanic support increased down ticket .
As an example , Rep. María Elvira Salazar of Fla won her seat in a district that Clueless won.
And the trend continues , Mayra Flores won in a special election to succeed Rep. Filemon Vela, a 5 term Dem again in a district Clueless won.
Clearly Hispanic voters are not following the script that the Democrat plantation wrote for them .
