The black vote is baked into the cake. A Hispanic nominee might garner the GOP about 40% of that vote, sufficient to win, all else being equal.

I don't disagree with your statement, but it has almost no relevance to my comment.

Black Americans and Hispanic Americans are clearly Americans.

But they do not vote for Conservatives when they have a clear choice.

And having a Black Conservative candidate does not help, either.

In 2012, Allen West's new Congressional District had about 30% non-white voters, plus a large bloc of retired Jewish voters.

Those two voting groups refused to support West, and West lost a close race by about 0.6%.
