If the Republican Party has a future, it lies down the road pioneered by Ronald Reagan:  appeal to minority voters, Hispanics in particular.  Facts of (political) life.  After academic Samuel Huntington expressed concerns (which were NOT supported by his own data), I joined the Hispanic community, both to improve my Spanish and to observe directly.  After well over a decade, I can say the community is actually more conservative than is generally appreciated in terms of traditional values and economic policy.  Nor is there serious interest in importing the political corruption of Mexico.  Fears appear to be based on invalid assumptions.
