2004: Bush won 58 percent of the white vote, and 44 percent of the Hispanic vote.
2008: John McCain won 55 percent of the white vote, and 31 percent of the Hispanic vote.
2012: Mitt Romney won 59 percent of the white vote. He won 27 percent of the Hispanic vote.
As you can see, there has been a dramatic downward trend of the Hispanic vote for the GOP, without a commensurate rise in the white vote.
Hispanics made the difference between a Bush win and the McCain and Romney losses.
Something to think about as Trump is even less popular with Hispanic voters than Romney and McCain were.
The dividing line appears to be about 35 percent of the Hispanic vote. That's what percentage Bush got in 2000, and he had to be installed into office by the Supreme Court in a real squeaker.
