“Been shown repeatedly that Mittens would not have won with 70% of the “Hispanic vote”. What killed him was the millions of conservatives who stayed home. The lesson the GOPee doesn’t want to learn.”

What you said plus the fact that the nature of the "Hispanic vote" has changed. In the 1960s and 1970s, a big component was rock-ribbed Cubans who had fled Catro's regime and had no desire to bring what they left behind with them.

By the 1980s and 1990s, this component had largely been surpassed by the second generation plus legal immigrants from Mexico and other places in Latin America which, while not as conservative friendly as the previous two decades, was at least not outright hostile.

Now, even those numbers are greatly diluted by recent immigrants who have benefited from de facto amnesty, chain immigration under the bogus excuses of family reunification and outright wards of the state who want to recreate the socialist hellholes they fled in their new host country.

It is idiotic to speak of "Hispanics" as a monolithic voting block without at least breaking them into these three subcategories.
