I agree with you on California. What we seem to miss is that Hispanics are growing number even legally in the U.S. Their families are twice the size as an average Caucasian family. Hispanics are natural republicans when it comes family values and free trade. If we where not so insane about legal immigration then we would do well. I am solid against amnesty but I know some way forward has to be articulated. Trump does not have a clue. Cruz is a machine that tell constituents what they want to hear. I am from Texas and have known him a long time. He is not nearly as electable as people think in a national election, even though I supported him and voted for him here in Texas. I don’t think he can win.

Blacks are "natural republicans" when it comes to family values. But they are lost to the democrats for at least the next generation, probably well beyond.

Enforce the law - that is the only alternative. If not, all is lost. Rubio advocates surrender - not an appealing policy to me.

Oh, you are right about Cruz. No one other than evangelicals and a few other kinds of self-declared conservatives will vote for him. No moderates, no low info voters, NO LIBERALS, no one else. Even a lot of conservatives have been turned off him recently by his own actions displaying gross lack or character and social tone deafness.

On the language issue: I've read that by 2020, only 2/3 of Latino families will speak Spanish. Translation, it will take a while, but they will assimilate eventually, just like other groups. I've had my doubts about this before, though. There are always some negatives, but they do have certain conservative inclinations. Reality is reality and ways to bring them the rest of the way into the Conservative fold need to be undertaken.
