No, 95% or likey 90% is about right. Even minorities that vote Republican are usually still registered Democrats. Like non-Cuban Hispanics and Native Americans in areas like Robeson County.
Now to the GOP credit, their representation is probably more diverse than there actually voting base. I wish the Democratic party will do the same but they are still in that Clinton era mindset that in order appeal to white voters they can't be seen as to close to minorities.
Still a lot of the people you listed were able to rise because of tokenism and only made possible by orchestrated primaries. You need to remember that Rubio, Haley, Cruz, and Scott had heavy involvement by national leaders in the party by what was considered competitive primaries. While it was probably a reaction to the election of Obama. It would have really helped if that same effort would be used to stop the Q's from winning the election.
