When republicans gather to discuss the issues it is a bunch of old jesus-loving white bastards who think fucking god talks to them. What are the odds that they are suddenly going to embrace a bunch of catholic hispanics?
For that to work in any real way they would have to understand why hispanics left worse conditions, but worse conditions are what Republicans want because that pleases their cooporate sponsers and they will con anyone to get that.
But it did work when they spent the last 30 years driving a wedge between the working class republicans and democrats with the issue of God. So yea, they'' try to expand that tent because it is the only thing vulture capitalists like Mitt Romeny can do.
