He won’t necessarily get the black vote but it will allow squishy whites to feel it’s ok to vote for Trump.
Maybe. That was what the polling research showed about Dole/Kemp and Bush/Cheney.
McCain and Romney didn’t even try to get the black vote.
I think Trump stands a better chance with blacks than any Republican since Eisenhower. It’s a matter of his outsider status, direct style, and his personal success. But I could be wrong.
