Support for President Donald Trump is growing among black Americans, but it’s unclear whether that will translate into enough votes for Republicans to retain control of Congress in the midterm elections in one month’s time.
This apparent reversal of fortunes stands in stark contrast to Republicans’ inability in recent decades to attract much support from black voters.
Part of the growth could be due to defections from the Democratic side. Former Democrat Brandon Straka’s #WalkAway movement has been encouraging Americans to share their personal stories of disillusionment with the Democratic Party and abandon, or “walk away,” from the party. The movement encourages voters to reject the influence of the far left on the Democratic Party, which in turn benefits the Republican Party and President Donald Trump. It is difficult to quantify the movement’s actual effects, but it is undeniably stirring things up in American culture.

#Run, don’t #Walkaway from the nutcases on the Left.
I hope this trend is for real.
If that is real, dems are doomed.
WTF?????!!!!!!!
Don’t you believe it.
So true.
If true the GOP will not only hold the House and Senate they will add seats.
But we are seeing proof from all those close Special Elections!!!
Yes, the Democrats are slowly leaking blacks.
——Part of the growth could be due to defections from the Democratic side-—
In essence, all of the growth must come from the Democrats. there is no other real source
You have to figure Latino and Black men will walk. If they are dragged to the polls, it might be a good thing for the GOP’s chances.
They turned away last election and every other election. Nothing more than DNC pipe dreams.
The gender gap is like 20+ points
I don’t believe it.
If Democrat Party finds blacks abandoning them in droves, it’s finished.
No wonder it dusted off Al Sharpton to play the Race Card. They’re worried.
.
The reason for the clown show in the senate hearings is simply that the Dems know that they are going down big in the coming election.

I’m not sure exactly how, but on this subject there should be some way to bring the book “To Kill a Mockingbird” into the discussion. Do black voters really want every woman who cries “rape” automatically “believed”?
If there is any audience which should insist on the presumption of innocence, it is black men! For not just years, not just decades, but literally for hundreds of years, they — more than any other group — have been the victims of the “I believe” movement. They were imprisoned, tortured, and lynched because of the “I believe” culture. It was shameful,and shameful isn’t even a big enough word.
When you look at those left wing mobs over the weekend, there weren’t a lot of black women there. I think there may have been a reason. I suspect there are lots of black women who have a brother or father or uncle or cousin who was unjustly accused - perhaps not of sexual assault but of something else.
In “To Kill a Mockingbird” the town does believe the “victim.” It is what happens at the trial — when the questioning occurs— that truth emerges. (Although the innocent black man on trial is nevertheless found guilty).
Are we going to leave that book — where almost every white member of a community joins in to the “I believe” culture to the detriment of justice — in classrooms? Wouldn’t that mean it’s OK to put black men in prisons as just the price you pay for a woman to be believed?
As I said at the beginning, I’m not sure how to do this, but I know that almost every person who’s gone to high school over the past 40 years has been required to read this book and the book usually made a profound effect on their consciences.
