I doubt very much that any states will flip because of black voters. Highly unlikely, especially with the enthusiasm shown by Trump and Cruz voters so far.

My friends who are unionized construction (boilermakers, steel, etc) are all Trump. They won’t even consider anyone else, lest of all, Killery.

95% of black voters will NEVER vote republican no matter who’s running. They’re voting with their hands out, and the Democrats are always going to promise more plunder from the working class than the R’s. Plus the repeated lie that Trump refused to disavow the KKK gives you the scoop on where the jackass who wrote this editorial loyalties lie.

John Podhoretz, just another neo-con. They should go back to the democrat party from whence they came. They should never have been welcomed into the republican party since they are for everything that conservatives are against. They support gun-control, abortion, affirmative action, open borders, hate-crime legislation, political correctness, gay marriage, you name the leftist social cause, they support it. Yet, with all their support for left-wing social causes, they have convinced the sheep-like republicans that they are “new conservatives” based solely on their constant howling for one war after another in the Middle East.

Sounds like a global warming prediction.

We’re doomed!

Most blacks are smart enough to know that David Duke, a democrat and the Ku Klux Klan is just a fraud to make republicans look bad

Please don’t confuse ghetto blacks with hard working white/blue collar blacks who love this country as much as we do

They are waking up as well

And they hate Hillary as much as any one else

Ferguson woke them up, they hate that stuff, they hate that people are using race as an excuse for their failures.

It sounds like this was done at a campaign event, not sure if Trump’s son even realized who was interviewing him. But thanks again for playing the liberal race gotcha game here on FR.

If the GOPe screws Trump out of the nomination, expect something around 15-25 million votes for their candidate and president hitlery in 2017.

The general is much, much different then the primary.

Secondly, should trump win, he will no longer be able to claim that he is unfairly targeted...so all the whine and cheese comments from him will have the exact opposite effect.

It will energize the dems to go to the polls and vote party line. Just as it would repubs..

In addition the enthusiasm that you see now in the primary will be severely diluted in the general and may decline as the attacks on him increase.

Cruz has already been tested thoroughly...Trump has not seen the dark side yet..

The problem for Trump is that he gave this guy credentials, too. He’s not done that with many other journalists. So it’s a big mistake. I cannot help it that Trump has such a sordid biography or that he’s indifferent to the decorum we expect from leaders today. We expect more. Well, some of us do anyway.

“So follow me so far. We’re talking about the possibility of Hillary getting more of the Obama African-American vote and far more of the Latino vote than Obama.”

Extraordinarily doubtful. Turnout is mainly based on positive motivation (wanting to vote FOR someone) rather than negative motivation (wanting to vote AGAINST someone). Hillary is absolutely the worst Democrat candidate when it comes to positive motivation. Nobody but middle aged, divorced women will get excited about voting for Hillary.

I’ve learned to wait for context, unlike folks like you just dying to fling poop like a monkey in a cage.

Yes, there is probably a logical explanation why a campaign would give out few credentials, but would save one for a racist blogger/reporter. No doubt, too, there is a context that makes sense in it, like, say, you’re indifferent common decency. And, after all, Trump supporters always cheer him for insulting people and not putting up with any of that PC stuff. So that might be it. For too long, the Trumps probably think, racist groups have been ignored in national presidential campaigns. //Sarcasm Off///
