I wonder if we are going to see future pollsters try to break the data down even further from Hispanic to “Mexican/Colombian/Cuban etc.” depending on the trends that we see in this election. For instance, there was talk of Texas being in play for Biden and the “inevitability” of Texas going blue in the near future. While that is still possible, it may not be as likely as many people thought, depending on how the Hispanic vote turns out there.

I've said this several times in the past.  The idea that demographics mean the inevitable demise of the GOP is as wrong as it gets.  I'm fully aware that this is anecdotal and limited in scope, but I work in an office that is ~95% Hispanic and they overwhelmingly support Trump.  Imagine the GOP putting forth a more mainstream candidate and that spells trouble for the Dems going forward.  Hispanics are, speaking generally, much more culturally conservative than many people think.
