23% of American voters in 2012 were either Black or Latino. That number should climb to 25 or 26%. The lowest % of latino voters that went to a Republican in a victory was 35% in 2000 for Bush and those two groups only comprised 19% of the electorate. McCain got 31% and Romney 27%. With how hospitable the Republicans have been, I wouldn't be shocked if that number hits 25% or lower.


If that's the case, whomever the Democratic candidate is will be the next President.
If Rubio wins the nomination the Republicans have a chance to flip that and take the White House. It's nice for Trump that he is getting all of the attention at the moment and getting the masses hyped up, but he will eventually burn out when the issue of electability because paramount. At that point, guys like Rubio, Walker, Bush and Kasich will emerge as the front runners. I think that Rubio and possibly Bush are the only ones with a real chance to win the Presidency precisely because of their connection to the Latino vote.
