African-American Leader: Trump’s Message “Resonates” With Black Voters (VIDEO)
GP ^ | April 29,2016 | JIm Hoft

Posted on 04/30/2016 10:14:48 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Nikki Johnson-Huston: This election cycle I can tell you I’ve spoken with many black voters who say they are going to vote for Donald Trump. I can tell you in 2012 and 2008 I didn’t meet one African-American who said they would.

Bill O’Reilly: So you think he will do better than Romney did?

Nikki Johnson-Huston: Absolutely. Absolutely… I think the dirty little secret people aren’t talking about is the concerns of the working class, the white working class are also the same concerns the black working class have. Good jobs. Being able to take care of your family. Opportunity to have a better life for your children than you had.

Bill O’Reilly: So Trump has a chance if he works those African-American precincts and you think he has a chance there.

Nikki Johnson-Huston: I do think he does have a chance. I do think he needs to be more buttoned up and disciplined with some of the things that he’s saying. But I do think the underlying message resonates with Americans regardless of race.

people on Fox count a little, but not a lot.

if they got RAPPERS to stick to their initial backing of Trump on FOX and other channels, that would mean a lot!!

someone should tell these bozos with a following that mexicans take their people’s jobs away!!

i though thee rapper were so tough. they back down so easily .

My sister’s husband is a contractor. She said, “We like Trump. He’s just like the general contractors we work with.” Rough, honest, forthright.

Blacks have been the biggest losers with cheap illegal laborers flooding the country. Maybe they’ll figure it out.

Trump talks like a black man. Does his own thing and doesn’t care what anybody thinks. Media doesn’t know or get it.

This dirty little secret isn't limiTED to jobs. It is also seen in the problems of:

Family safety
Crime
Opportunity
Unfair competition for jobs
Problems in our schools
Problems in our society

Folks are fed up with racial strife, illegal immigration, and being gamed by the folks who benefit politically for power from all these things.

Reagan used to touch on this, and I have spent the better part of 30 years addressing it. These are the meat and potato issues families discuss over the dinner table.

I don't care who you are, you care about your family, providing for them, and their safety.

This transcends gender, racial, and party lines. It is such a simple concept.

Who knew?

The RNC/GOPe sure didn't.

Trump does.

Further, Trump looks his rally attendees directly in the eyes and states, I care about you.

Now while that may be politically self-serving, so many will write it off, folks..., he's the only one in a generation who even bothered to say it.

Think about that. The man means it.

Making America great again isn't about him. It's about the nation, it's allies, and the planet.

I am so saddened to know there are people out there who can't grasp this.

If Trump could break the democrat stranglehold on black communities it would be the best thing that could happen to them and to the rest of us.

There is more than a bit of Cassius Clay (Muhammed Ali) in The Donald... the relentless self-praising, the name-calling of opponents, the draft-dodging, etc.

Trump’s plan: Fire every night time city janitor from Mexico and give it to an unemployed black man/woman. Make them pass a drug test BEFORE he takes office. That way they will be too busy to go out and cause trouble at night. Education courses in money management in those office buildings b4 the start of their shifts.

2) Pay for truck driving school for blacks. There is a shortage of drivers. That way they can see the country and get away from trouble.

One of the (few) downsides of living in your own bubble.

Exactly.
The construction industry is the one area where illegals have taken most of the jobs.
It directly effects hard working Americans without 4 year college degrees.

I was sitting next to two black guys at the VA Hospital last week. One of them said something about Obama. The other said “He ain’t my president. Trump is my president.”

Anyone think Mia Love would be a great running mate for Trump? It would pretty much neutralize the Butcher of Benghazis woman card not to mention shut up the morons who keeping tagging him as racist, but it would probably do a lot to get him a lot more black votes as well.

Wait’ ....you think the POTUS has the power to arbitrarily fire janitors, even from Mexico, and then give that job to another person...?

You do understand Trump is running for President, not dictator or King?

I SMH sometimes...
