In 2012 Team Romney concluded after going from 44% with Bush to only 31% with McCain (who denounced his support for immigration reform) things couldn't get any worse with Latinos and the would hold that vote and participation would hold steady or even decline. They were wrong, things got worse and more Latinos showed up. Same story with Asians. I suspect Trump will drive both higher turnout and lower GOP vote share with both groups. Combined Latinos and Asians will probably be a bigger block than blacks. And the way Trump has been they be headed to voting more like blacks.
It was said back in 2012 that Romney's campaign would be the last to try to win solely by maximising the white vote. It appears the GOP is going to give it another shot.
