While many analysts dismiss Donald Trump’s chances of winning over black voters, the Republican nominee has an unlikely ally making his case -- the founder of a group that once rallied black voters for Bernie Sanders.
Bruce Carter, who led "Black Men for Bernie," told FoxNews.com he had a change of heart after he traveled to urban communities and saw the levels of poverty in Democrat-controlled areas of the country. “Once I got involved, I realized that the Democratic Party was operating as if they own the country, and that was a major turn off for me,” Carter said. “I didn’t want to represent a party that saw its people in that way.”
Carter, from Texas, has since formed “Trump for Urban Communities” – a grassroots organization he says is reaching out to black voters in big cities from Jacksonville, Fla., to Philadelphia, to Charlotte, N.C., seeking to convince first-time voters, working families and others to vote Republican in November.
“Donald Trump is the best presidential candidate, who I believe has the experience and the wherewithal to give urban communities economic and educational opportunities,” he said.

If the ‘RATS are so confident about Clintoon winning, why the hell did they get Allred to drag her old nags out of her stable to stampede over Trump? Something funny is going on and it ain’t funny. It’s time to send Allred’s nags back to the barn.
African Americans deserve much better than the democrats.
I showed this to a Bernie fan at work last night who was bitching about wanting a raise. LOL. a nice girl but young and politically naive. Then we talked about Debbie Wasserman Schultz and how she ensured that Bernie Sanders never ever had a chance against the Clintons.
Awesome, the visual is great. Can you start a thread with that?
Perhaps tomorrow when the FR traffic is greater.
Yes they do. But the Black women will be hard to peel from HRC.
I have discussed issues with quite a few ‘Blacks for TRump.’ This group seems to be primarily men. The Black women that I’ve interacted with have been ex-pat Haitians and Brazilians who passionately despise the Clintons.
I so wish Bernie were the nominee. With all my heart. I think the country could stand a fair election between candidates of different political ideologies.
Now it is the American people and the Constitution against the government and media. So corrupt.
Didn’t 7 black men total votes for Bernie? And they were all celebrities.
Wow, I like the fact that all incomes will get a tax cut with Trump...
