That RealClearPolitics would run an article by what they describe as "a veteran Democratic political consultant," and couch it as advice for the GOP shows preposterous cheek. When did "a veteran Democratic political consultant" ever have the best interests of the GOP at heart?
The correct Hispanic to have asked for such advice is someone like Governor Susana Martinez (R-NM). She at least wishes the party well. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) would also have ideas.
A summary of Maria Cardona's advice to the GOP: become Democrat clones. COTTonLINE's advice to the GOP: why bother when the Democrats already fully represent those views?
If Cardona believes it is in the interest of Hispanics to become dedicated Democrat voters, she should note how little such dedication has accomplished for black Americans. A party which believes it can take for granted a particular ethnic or demographic group does little beyond pay lip service to their aims and interests, and that only during campaign season.
