AMAZING - Trump Performed Better Among Hispanics and Blacks than Mitt Romney Did in 2012!!!

Posted on 11/09/2016 7:49:26 AM PST by pinochet

Here is the biggest story that the lying mainstream media is not telling you. Trump did better than Romney did among Hispanics in 2012. Exit polls that were reported by the left-wing British Guardian show that Trump received 29 percent of the Hispanic vote, compared to 27 percent for Romney.

The story among blacks is equally amazing. Clinton is the first Democrat in decades to receive less than 90 percent of the black vote. Blacks voted 93 percent for Obama in 2012, and gave 6 percent of their vote to Romney. But blacks gave 88 percent of their vote to Clinton. The percentage of blacks who voted for Trump is not precise, but 8 percent admitted to exit pollsters that they voted for Trump. The number could be as high as 10 percent.

But what about whites? Trump did not do better than Mitt Romney, in terms of the percentage of the white vote he received. Both received about equal percentage of the white vote. Do you realize the implications of this? The percentage gains that Trump made among minorities may be small, but they may have put him over the top in close races.

The lying mainstream media is calling Trump divisive. But the exit polls show he brought more minorities to vote for him; that is - he united the country based on shared economic interests shared by all American citizens.

Trump won some of the swing states with very small margins, of a few thousand votes each.

Here is the Guardian article with the data:

Isn’t that amazing news?

We were told that if we didn’t act like Democrats that republicans would forever lose the minority vote.

Trump sure shoved that back down their throats.

It was fun listening to the Megyn Kelly round table bash Trump for not doing as well with Hispanics as George Bush did when Tucker Carlson suggested that he had done better than Romney with Hispanics.

The loser Romney’s actual statement:

“Best wishes for our duly elected president: May his victory speech be his guide and preserving the Republic his aim,” Romney tweeted Wednesday morning.”

HE NEVER COULD BRING HIMSELF TO SAY DONALD TRUMP’S NAME!

Not after 8 years of Obama. Hispanics and blacks are not as stupid as white leftists.

Around 1 AM EST, Kelly started her rant against Trump. Telling women that they should be fearful, as if he's an advocate for making unwanted advances.

There was a sizable pro Trump crowd in the street outside. They cheered when Fox displayed Trump's progress to a win.

They booed Kelly when she went on her usual rant. They know that Trump does not stand for male aggression against women.

Up until that point, the Fox coverage, pundit exchanges were good. Enjoyable.

It went downhill from there.
