Its possible that Protestant Hispanics will move further right, but I don't think its likely that they'll ever become a reliable conservative voting block, especially considering that the trend among Hispanics in general is a steady shift left.

So that wasn’t the actual 2012 vote, I didn’t think so.

Hispanics who become Protestant vote closer to traditional Protestant voting, and are about a 50/50 vote, and on average, have beat the overall Catholic vote for the elections that we have their numbers, that isn’t a ringing endorsement of help on the way, but it does show that America can Americanize Hispanics and possibly win them over as a republican voting block, or at least partly neutralize the Catholic gains for the left.
