Once Republicans start losing Texas because of the Hispanic vote a lot will change
Once they realize they can't keep winning by just courting white voters they will suddenly and miraculously be "okay" with blacks and hispanics and start courting the strong religious types in those demographics. So the split between race will start to be less noticable but they will use abortion and religion as their main weapon. That's when we will have to start worrying more about the threat of a theocracy.
Any other thoughts on how this would change the political landscape?

and other conservative racists coexisting happily in one party?
That's not just a thought but material for some rather spectacular political cartoons and New Yorker covers.
that tends to influence political orientations. Roughly half of all human beings trend conservative, anywhere from very moderate to strong to extremist and in different types, such as social and conservative. And all conservatives have some degree of reservation about people who are different, but some as we know are strong to rabid on the subject.
This goes for all humanity, and there is no racial, religious, or ethnic group that is not human and thus without its share of bigots. Skin color is irrelevant--bigots of all races exhibit the same sort of hostile and dishonest behaviors toward those they see as different.
So, for a smile, now try imagining our nation's racists all come together in one conservative party, no longer only white but now multicolor and wonderful diverse.
But “clean coal” right?
