I love that Trump reaches out to groups normally thought to be democrat territory.

I also like that Trump is focused on ways to help people that lifts all boats, that doesn’t involve redistribution.

I think Trump is right. I bet he does something to encourage small businesses in low income areas.

i dont mean to sound negative, but when i drove livery, there were more than a hundred of obama’s sons in front of projects, bodegas and bars just hanging out with 40s during the day in stapleton on staten island.

maybe they were sharing resume ideas.

you can’t have jobs taken from you when you were never searching for one to begin with.

They won’t like him when he tells them to get a job. They won’t like him when their food stamps and welfare are cut off.

What, for the sake of discussion will he “bring back jobs”? What does a president do to accomplish that end?

Trump can garner a lot of the black vote by explaining that open borders mean less stuff for blacks.
If the welfare rolls are being swelled by illegals there’s less to go around.

Which reminds me. When Republican Nominee Romney was planning to make a Campaign Appearance in a predominately Black Ares, the Residents protested telling him they didn’t want him there.

Romney folded like a cheap Suit and never showed up.

I will bet a dollar to a donut that Trump could Campaign in the same area and be welcomed with open arms.

For Years the Republican Mantra is we need a bigger Tent to be more inclusive, blah, blah, blah. It seems to me that they just got their wish and they are doing everything they can do to fold that same Tent and go back home.

I am saying this as a Cruz Supporter first, and I am beginning to think that Cruz could never get the variety of Voting Blocks needed to win the General Election that are flocking to Trump.

The next POTUS will not be Elected with just Conservatives backing him. Heck, Reagan couldn’t get Elected POTUS in this day and age. Sad, but true.

I could say it’s a gut feeling, but I know people that would never Vote for Cruz who would Vote for Trump in a New York minute.

I can talk up Cruz to them until the Cows come Home and I haven’t swayed a one. It’s just the way things seem to be heading, like it or not.

Just my $.02, your Mileage may vary.

The only blacks who will like Trump better than Obama are the ones who want to work. The others... not so much.

The fact is, there are many blacks who DO work. If you live in any city in the USA, you see that. They are on the subway, city buses and private bus companies in the morning reading their novels or their morning paper. Trump, of course, will not appeal to the lazy; but he might appeal to those who want a better job and less taxes. It’s worth a try! (I think you’ll agree with me!)

I think if Trump is the nominee, he’ll attract first time voters, voters that have “given up” on voting and crossover voters like no one has ever seen before.

I also think we’ll see an all time record for number of votes cast.

We haven't seen anything yet. Right now the focus is on the Republican primaries but once we go to general election, look to see Trump going to places where no recent Republican even bothered to contest. Los Angeles, New York City, Washington D.C., for example.

"African-Americans" won't even support Africa against their "lxrd, gxd, and savior" Obama's push for pervert rights in Black Africa. They actually chose Obama over Robert Mugabe (whom they used to support).

"African-Americans" have sold their souls. If they won't even support Mugabe, you know they won't support Trump.

My M-I-L who is 80 Years Old hasn’t Voted in twenty years.

She is Voting for Trump, and she’s a White Hispanic born in Mexico City.

Two examples just in my family.

My 78 year old aunt who has never voted in her life, recently registered, so she could vote for Trump.

My Stepdaughter, who has been a LEGAL RESIDENT ALIEN, for 30 years, put in her Citizenship paperwork because she wants to vote for Trump.

“The fact is, there are many blacks who DO work.”

I’ve lived in my house for 20 years. My neighbor across the street is black. He’s a diesel mechanic. Back in the day, I used to stay up all night on IRC and went to bed at dawn.

Every weekday morning, I used to hear him leave his house at 4:30 AM to drive to Los Angeles for work. Every day he’d come home about 5 PM. He told me because of the distance and traffic, it took that many hours for an 8 hour day.

He was never out of work until 0b0la got elected. Since then, he’s had only sporadic employment because the jobs keep coming and going.

I know the guy and he’s a competent mechanic. It’s not his fault these jobs keep going away, that’s just the way it is nowadays.

I’ve learned not to talk politics with black people so I don’t know what he thinks of 0b0la but I’ll bet he’s not sorry to see his _residency ending.
