As we've seen many other immigrant groups move to the right over the past century or so, is it possible that we could get an Hispanic version of Trump in, say, 2060 or so?
They're called Caudillos, and yes, the type of right-wing ideology dominant in Latin America is not conservatism, it's right-wing populism, so a type of more race-neutral populism would do fine with Latinos.
Sounds like Dubya was going in that direction but still far too globalistic.
The GWB team actually figured this out in 2000 and wanted to shift the party in that direction, hence a more economically centrist compassionate conservatism with expanding medicare, etc., but the Republicans decided to go the exact opposite way with focusing on the Koch economic program after 2008.
http://www.salon.com/2000/01/13/latinos/" For years, the standard Republican riff on Latinos has been that, since they are predominantly Catholic and pro-family, they would be attracted by the Republican message on issues like abortion. But Tarrance, Guerra and Sosa all said something very different Wednesday night. The new Republican strategy for targeting Hispanics is on economic issues."
All the modern republican candidates with the exception of Kasich (who was trying to play compassionate conservative, and was also the only candidate who polled 270 EVs+ by polling ahead big in all swing states vs. all the other candidates who polled behind in swing states a la romney) have all called for the Department of Education to be abolished. Big difference between then and now.
