that 3 to 10 percent needs to be closer to 10.

I’m still going with Ted first. Not the popular decision on here lately. Trump’s 2.

The case of JD is 3.

So maybe The Donald is not necessarily looking for an endorsement, he just wants a meet-and-greet, to SHOW that he is, in fact, a real human being, and not the caricature that has been drawn of him.

The Donald is not looking to attract Republicans (though that might not be a bad idea, especially if Republicans can also see The Donald as a human being), and this outreach will not go unnoticed. Many more people are noticing The Donald, and some are forming opinions that, on balance, come out very much in favor of what The Donald is presenting as his message.

The problem as I see it is this. For nearly 40 years these people have been pandered to, as well as lied to. They have been told what they wanted to hear, but what they thought they heard has not been brought to fruition.

The black condition, today, culturally is worse than it was in the beginning. Public housing, welfare, WIC, and all the rest of the handouts have been detrimental to their condition and culture. Case in point, when things don't go the way they want, they riot and loot. Great behavior.

If these pastors really want something, then they should be preaching a work ethic, respect for women, respect for society in general, respect for education and respect for the rights of other people.

I could go on, but I think one can get the picture.

Actually 97% of black pastors endorse Trump. The one’s claiming otherwise are just outliers and likely in the pay of big oil and other Trump-deniers.

VERY dumb for the Trump people to call this an endorsement before the fact.

has been greeted in the black faith community with a combination of confusion and anger

Since when does Patty Murphy speak for the black faith community? When was she appointed the genius on what the black faith community believes? Because she scribbles for a liberal web site?

[Parley Baer]

When I first read about it, it sounded like an outreach to the black community to me. However I am sure some of the Pastors will support Trump. Then there will be some who will not and the media will interview those and run with it.

[HarleyLady27]

Sounds like the government controlled media is trying to make something into a big ‘I know better’ story....they couldn’t report the events any where without lying about it...

News is ‘garbage’ as far as I’m concerned, remember when we used to wrap up our ‘fish guts and bones’ in the rags? That is a good use for them...I used to use them to line my dog kennel, and my bird cage...

Now I think they float around the gutters of the cities in the United States for the trash that they are...

I can't find a strand of any policy he has that the larger black community would be respond to.
If'n you thought of yourselves as Americans first, you wouldn't have that problem

Are Diamond and Silk going to be in attendance?

[Charles Henrickson]

Scott said he expected there would be "a number" of pastors endorsing Trump, but did not know who or how many.

1 is a number.

"I am not officially endorsing ANY candidate and when I do you will NOT need to hear it from pulpitting courtjesters who suffer from intellectual and spiritual myopia," he wrote.

Ouch.
