Stephen Colbert Looks At How GOP Can Try To Appeal To Latinos

Last night, Stephen Colbert looked at how the GOP can try to appeal to Latinos.
BOB SCHIEFFER (6/11/2014): If the Republican Party is going to be successful in electing a presidential candidate in 2016, they're going to have to find a way to appeal to Hispanic voters.
OK, what about a presidential ticket with Hispanic appeal? Like Ted Cruz ... and somebody appealing. (audience laughter and applause) Um, I don't know. We'll work on it, we'll work on it.
....
Hispanics are just the latest immigrant group to become white. I mean, these days, many people even consider Italians to be white. (Bribed By Unlimitd Breadsticks)
....
Of course, when you get down to it, Republicans don't struggle only with ethnic minorities. They also struggle with gender majorities. Like in 2012, when 55% of women voted for Obama. So ladies, you are welcome to join us too. All you have to do is identify as male, which, of course, is the white of genders. (Plus, 23% Raise) (audience laughter)
And once everyone starts seeing themselves as white males, conservatives can appeal to them by pointing out that they are under attack from the people they used to be. They'll know which side their bread is buttered on. (Formerly, Tortilla Salsa-ed On)
