This will get VERY INTERESTING. If, somehow, Butt gets the nomination (which I still expect Skunk Cabbage to get), then blacks will have an interesting choice:
Vote for a guy with Butt’s ‘values’, or vote for Trump, someone who they at least respect. They may well vote for Trump, or at least sit out the election.
By the time this thing is over don’t be surprised if Trump is the guy pushing to let felons vote, simply because he knows he’ll get most of the black (male) felon vote...for the above reasons. And don’t get me wrong, other than electing Trump, letting felons vote is stupid!
Yup.
The Dems pit races and genders against each other. They thrive of disharmony. They run the risk of losing male supporters with a man-hating socialist female. They run the risk of losing the black vote if they elect a white male especially an older person or homosexual. Obama2 in Booker or Patrick has limitations nationally. Still, the person will get millions and millions of votes in the general election — a frightening thought but truth — and the battle will come down to a precious few states.
Trump will never get much more than 5% of the black female vote. It's a waste of time. They are the most one-sided voting group in this country right now. The LGBT crowd is nowhere near as one-sided as black females, which is truly maddening and sad. 13% of black males voted for Trump in 2016. I would like to believe he could get that to 20%, but voter fraud is always a concern.
Mayor Pete won’t get the nomination for President. Blacks and other minorities make up 35% of their voters. Assuming he is leading in Iowa and NH, two very white states, his downfall will be SC.
The Dems need a minority and a woman on the ticket this time around. Mayor Pete does not check any of the Dem boxes except for being gay.
