Blacks Could Help to Re-Elect Trump [OPINION]
WBSM-AM ^ | August 14, 2018 | Barry Richard

The big difference in President Donald Trump's re-election campaign in 2020 could be the level of support he receives from the black community. And, the man most despised by the black community could become the most pro-black president of the modern era.

A Rasmussen poll released last week indicates growing support for Trump among blacks. A big part of that is economics. For the first time ever, black unemployment has fallen below six percent. That means record numbers of black men, women, and youth are employed. Trump has created opportunities where for decades, the Democrats have offered only unfulfilled promises.

The Rasmussen survey pegs Trump's support with black Americans at 29 percent, twice what it was a year ago. Black businessman and former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, in an op-ed for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, says, "Trump's policies are bringing real, positive change to the lives of black-Americans across the country - and we are taking note."

Not only are more blacks working but, wages are higher. Cain says blacks are giving Trump, "a second look as he continues to make good on his economic promises and works to implement long-overdue reforms."

Cain says, "It’s the Democrats’ worst nightmare: an empowered black community that will never again fall victim to their empty promises and false hope."

And he is right.

The failure of the first African-American president to address the core problems facing the black community, and the subsequent unraveling of the Democratic party, has exposed decades of empty promises made to black voters. With Trump delivering, no credible argument can support claims of racism against him or the Republicans.

Cain says, "Donald J. Trump will be the most pro-black president in our lifetime." He appears to be on to something. If only the dishonest press would do its job and report the truth.

By the way, Cain has endorsed Republican Massachusetts Senate Candidate Geoff Diehl in his bid to oust Democrat Elizabeth Warren. He joined me to discuss his support of Diehl on my show:

African=American men respect an Alpha Male. They knew that Clinton, Shrub, and Barky the dogeater were all Beta's who were pu$$ywhipped by their Beards.

AFrican-American men say they admire Barky, but they're only doing that because they don't want to pi$$ off their mamas, girlfriends, and/or wives.

I am taking a Missouri attitude on this-- Show Me!

Now, I get that what could be going on is one of the most important domestic political stories of our time. But until this translates to votes on an Election Day, it's only talk.

But I sure hope this is legit.

Former #NeverTRUMPers are the key to TRUMP winning in 2020!

There were 106,000 to 172,000 Gary Johnson voters in WI, MI & PA in 2016

Look at say PA in 2012, Gary Johnson only got about 50,000 votes!! 2016 he had around 146,000 votes!

All TRUMP needs is WI & IA & all the logical TRUMP States & he is POTUS again!

TRUMP can afford to lose PA & MI!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

As another FReeper said, “Trump is opening the Underground Railroad for blacks and many are happily taking it”.

Black votes will definitely help in his re-election.

This is why the Dems will nominate a Black candidate.

The longer the Demagogic Party stonewalls (ahem) against building the border wall, deporting illegals, and getting rid of DACA, while siystematically pushing homosexuallity and pedophilia in churches and the Boy Scouts and everything else, the worse they look. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

They won't. They'll dump some of their liabilities into the 2020 nomination, and get rid of them. In 2024, they'll nominate a Latino and a muzzie. In the 2022 midterms, they're going to make basically no net gains, and by then President Trump will have appointed four or five Supreme Court justices, as well as refaced the federal bench.

He doesn’t even have to win a majority of them, though he could. If we win 20 percent of blacks, the Democrats don’t hve enough other votes to make that up.

I agree. They can’t make up that 20%. In fact, they are actually losing numbers if the illegal vote is removed. New people are not attracted to the Democrat Party and more and more people see their true, ugly colors and don’t like it.

Yep, that’s why the fraudsters want al those illegals. They can replace the blacks. Blacks are waking up and dems are losing...

He still won pretty convincingly in 2016 with only 8% of the black vote. If he doubled or tripled that no Democrat would stand a chance, all else being equal.

Exactly my point. With jut 8 percent he won comfortably. If we could get it to 20 or above, it would be such a political avalanche tha tit would kill the Democrats.

He’s already getting 30% or more of Hispanics and I don’t think his white support will change much. His Asian support will probably go up with his efforts in Korea.

We need to get the Antifa attack on Candace Owens to go viral. (The only thing that has changed is the color of the hoods.)

Could? Will. With 36% approval rating (it’s likely higher) he’s completely unbeatable.

His Hispanic and Asian rankings are sure to rise in tandem with the others. Like Reagan, he will almost certainly carry his vice president into the White House.

As with any demographic group, the ones who vote are the ones who feel motivation to vote. The Demwits are definitely on the ropes, and they know it, hence their downward spiral of crazy from the partisan media shills (PMS) and the usual idiots (Schiff for brains, Mad Maxine, Pelosi, Schumer, Grayson).
