I believe that is what Rove and Bush feared: that the GOP would not adapt well to the demographic wave in America, not compete for and win the rising Hispanic voters, and thus might ultimately shrink to a remanent smaller base: and be reduced to the 'Party of White southerners'... not competitive nationally. Obviously, a decades-long process (the rise of Hispanic voters), and an open question (the future direction of both Parties) in any event... for there is EVEN MORE evidence to support the view, IMO, that both Republican and Democrat Parties are losing support to 'Independents' and smaller Parties --- with 'Independent' being by far the largest political classification in America now, and some 15% or so of Americans classifying their political views as 'Libertarian' now... although nowhere near that number are yet identified with the Political Party that carries that banner.
