Extra lift?

If she’s getting any it’s a surprise to me.

She’s losing ground.

Assange must reveal how Obama and the puppet masters cheated to win in 2008 & 2012. He was never a legitimate president. Hillary will really be furious if she loses in Nov., having cut a deal with the Chicago Democrat Mafia that she would not make a stink about Obama’s vote fraud if he appointed her SOS and helped he win it this year. That’s the way Democrats keep the power, even when the GOP claim to run the House and Senate but never do anything to challenge them.

I've been predicting for a year that people who are using black voter turnout in the last two presidential elections as an indicator of Hillary's support will wind up with egg on their faces.

Hillary isn't Obama. 97% of black voters supported him in 2008 and 2012 for the simple reason that he was black. It was an opportunity to see something they'd only dreamed about and never really expected to see - a black president.

I'm not saying that black Democrats won't vote for her. Most who come to the polls will probably vote quite predictably Democrat. I'm just saying that black voter turnout will be WAYYYY down from 2008 and 2012, because she isn't The Won.

The Democrats will still send buses into the inner city to round up black voters, but the level of electoral enthusiasm seems pretty weak this election season; not that much of a surprise since polls show the same thing among all groups of potential democrat voters.

THIS IS A LIE:

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/09/danger-signs-hillary-clinton-least-popular-democrat-blacks-since-1960/

Since Trump went to Detroit he has been leading with the Black Vote, and he has been leading with the Latina and Latino vote for some months now...

CNN is being paid by Clinton to say whatever about Trump!!!

Explaining away her coming loss. Preparing themselves for defeat.

In the 2008 election Blacks and most Hispanics in the US were very excited to vote for a minority candidate, especially a minority Democrat candidate, for the highest office in the land. The media hyped Obama as the greatest man on Earth, even as a Messianic figure, going so far as to add halos into some of his photos. Mantras such as “Hope & Change”, and “yes we can” did their job in casting the spell and impelling minority voters to the polls. The same thing happened in 2012. A little less enthusiasm but the results were the same. This time around Blacks & Hispanics are faced with a boring, stiff, controlling, screeching, multimillionaire fat old white woman. After voting for Obama twice, Hillary is quite a comedown! It is not surprising to me at all that there is an excitement gap for Blacks & Hispanics on the Democrat plantation.

Only TRUMP could have mounted a campaign brutal enough to take on the assault tactics of Democrats used against every Republican nominee.

It has been accomplished mostly through these magnificent rallies, social media and DRUDGE, who has fought like a gladiator to direct traffic to good writing and who made sure Hillary was finally exposed.

Think of the value of that single phone video of Hillary’s curbside collapse.

Where would we be without it???

What if that footage had not been captured by FOX reporter Rubenthal?

It has changed the mindset of the Democrat machine toward Hillary’s health. She is exposed on that issue and It has hurt her on so many other levels, confirming her clinical paranoia, and they know it.

Something they failed to take into consideration. Hillary can still get 90% of the black vote. But if only have the blacks who voted for Obama show up at the polls, the number is irrelevant. What they need to really worry about are the blacks who will show up to the polls and vote for Trump instead of Hillary.

All of the demographic subtleties in the world can’t mask the simple fact that Her Heinous is a singularly unattractive candidate: discourteous, foul-tempered, elitist, secretive, dictatorial, and drastically out of touch with the public. She’s made “not Trump” the entire focus of her campaign, which has made her and her adherents entirely unprepared for the fact that “not Hillary” works even better.

Many blacks are disappointed with Obama and they voted for him only because he’s black. What is the motivation for these people to vote for Hillary? Bad assumption they will.

How many whites voted for Obama and regret it? Why would they want to stay on the same path? Bad assumption they will.

Over the last 8 years people have become so tired of the ultra-PC environment - Trump doesn’t hurt himself as much as the political science experts think he does.

When you reach out to the working class, to minorities, to *anyone* that loves this country, wants to secure it and make it more prosperous you’ll appeal to a very broad audience.

The experts don’t seem to be able to wrap their heads around all these issues. They just look at the last election and assume everything that went for Obama will just continue for Hillary, except it won’t.

Even to blacks who hate Trump and hate anything with an “R” next to it, she’s nothing to get excited over.

“Donald J. Trump, after all, has alienated just about every growing demographic group and every category that helped push Mr. Obama to victory.”
He has? The numbers certainly don’t support that. He is doing better with Latinos and Blacks than McCain or Romney did.

_________________________________________________________

Okay, for the sake of argument I’ll accept the BS narrative that The Donald “alienated” Latino and Mooselimbs. How exactly has he “alienated” Blacks?
