Asian vote in 2016

Obviously Hillary will win the Asian vote, but what are the chances the republicans make it somewhat of a respectable margin (like winning 37-39%)?

I have heard often on this forum that asians tend to be "pro-Incumbent". Obviously we can't use that criteria in 2016. If someone like Jeb Bush is nominated, I could see republicans doing much better than the paltry 24% Romney got.

Republicans are the party of and for white Christians. As long as they are the party of and for white Christians, Asians will not vote for them. Considering that they are not running against a black man with a foreign name this time, the Republican campaign will probably be marginally less racist/xenophobic, so they'll probably do marginally better with Asians.

There will still be anti-Islamic rhetoric that will not play well with a lot of Asians.
