"According to a Tuesday Los Angeles Times report, black voters in Detroit, “which is 80% African American, say they’re fed up with helping Democrats win, only to be undermined, sidelined or forgotten later. They want assurances that the 2020 presidential candidates will deliver on promises that help get them elected.”

Surely black voters over the years have been promised the moon and stars if they will vote democrat.

Apparently, black voters have learned nothing.

Shakedown time. This is why they can’t have nice things.

They are waiting to see who offers the most free stuff and some solid promises of cash reparations. Then they still might vote for Trump.

blacks for the most part will still keep voting for the party which stood for slavery, segregation, and against the civil rights act. They will vote for who they are told off their leaders who are aid off the Democrat party, thus leadership keeps their power whilst controlling the masses.

TRUTH: Trump won Michigan by 13K votes because 50,000 fewer people from Wayne County (Detroit) voted. Now that Trump has done more for Black Americans than any president since Lincoln, half of those who stayed home will vote for him and the other half will still stay home.

Wait a minute. . .who’s the “they” that is speaking for black voters? I’ll tell you: Black Democrat hacks! . .and what they are really saying is that the only thing that will motivate black voters is another black presidential candidate. . .i.e bye bye Biden, hello Harris, Booker or . .maybe, even an 11th hour Obama (Michelle).

They’re already falling over each other, giving away everything. Are blacks trying to guarantee a nominee that favors reparations? Works for me. I just don’t know why blacks still take the Dems at their word. And the Dems don’t care. The Republicans give them cover if reparations don’t magically materialize.

POTUS, Trump will get between 20 to 40% of the entire African-American vote!!! He will also get between 40-50% of the Hispanic-American vote.

3% fewer blacks turned out in FL, NC and PA in 2012.

This year, black approval of Trump is 16-26% and has held steady in that range for two years.

I estimate Trump will get between 10-12% of the black vote in 2020, but that an additional 3-8% will stay home. This will be devastating for DemoKKKrats in FL, NC, PA, MI, and VA. It might be enough to swing VA.

Once more into the breach my lemmings.

Maybe this will be a last broken promise, they still have to vote for them first. Then the facade of votes for stuff will be dead and buried.

At least they’re now recognizing they just get empty promises. Once they realize that it’s the completely wrong reason to vote for someone then we’ll be getting somewhere.
