Three reasons African-Americans are voting in record numbers for Republicans this year
Fox News.com ^ | November 6, 2016 | John Philip Souza IV

Here’s the astonishing truth the media’s not talking about and Democrats refuse to believe — Donald Trump is getting more than double, and sometimes more than triple, the black vote Romney got 4 years ago.

Recent polling by Remington Research shows Trump getting 22% in Florida, Romney got 5 percent. In North Carolina, Trump’s getting 19%, Romney got 4 percent. Trump’s getting 22% of black voters in Wisconsin compared with Romney’s 6% 4 years ago. And in Pennsylvania, Trump scores an astounding 29% against Romney’s 7% share in 2012.

Nationally, Romney received less than 7% of the black vote in 2012. Even Trump’s worst numbers among African-Americans show him getting 19%, and some polls show him doing much better.

Even more exciting for Republican prospects, increasing black support is not confined to Trump. In Wisconsin, Ron Johnson has pulled even in his race for re-election to the U.S. Senate thanks largely to black defection from the Democrat party. A CNN poll shows Rob Portman getting 32% of non-white voters in Ohio, mostly African Americans. In North Carolina, a Quinnipiac Poll shows Richard Burr gets 24% of the ethnic vote, most of them African Americans.

How about the most obvious? The Democrat running isn’t black.

And the candidate is NOT a man. Don't think that isn't a factor in the Black/Hispanic male vote.

To: drop 50 and fire for effect

P.S. — If Romney got 5% of the black vote and black turnout was down 50% (not likely even in a worst-case scenario for the Democrats), then Trump would “naturally” get 10% of the black vote just because of lower black turnout. If he’s getting almost 20% (and I think he’ll get even more), then this is really an indication of a major defection to Trump, not just lower turnout.

Maybe it's because the black community has finally figured out what we've known all along....

I'm wondering about hillary's anctics in Cleveland this weekend. Friday night, she sponsored a JayZ/Beyoncé/other rappers concert to impress the black vote on the east side. yup, hillary who was so offended by what Trump said in an illegally recorded private conversation ten years ago was up there on stage with the thug elite, as they spouted their vile lyrics. Don't know that the hypocrisy is helping her. Then yesterday, she had a campaign event with LeBron, who endorsed the witch.

I'm wondering how this is playing in minority communities. Do those folks stuck in challenged neighborhoods seriously like being told to stay on the plantation by billionaires? How is this playing with everyone else?

looks like en masse blacks are realizing they’re Americans first and blacks second. They don’t want to lose this country either. We are all in this together. Well with the smart ones at least. Not those that would follow JayZ and Lebron off a cliff.

This trend away from the Democrats’ plantation is truly encouraging! The MSM will never tell us what’s really going on, but there’s a growing number of black patriots who are fed up!

I believe this is one of the things that the Democrats fear the most and why they have gone all out to portray Trump as a racist.

Just think. If Trump is elected and the policies he puts in place truly helps the black communities, he is going to win the rest of them over and expose the Democrats for having taken advantage of them all these years. This would DEVASTATE the Democrat party electorally.

Now I'm beginning to understand the fear and hatred that the Democrats have for Trump and the MSM 24/7 bashing of him over the past year.

The thing about these polls that have her winning....how are they making up for these numbers losses??? It makes no sense they are predicting a D9+ turn out which is greater than Obama got but not getting 97% of the AA vote Obama got. Where is that being made up???

You can go through all the demographics and ask that same question.

So the real question are these polls to cover stealing of the election? Seriously people, they can not let Trump win. They go to jail and not just Hillary, the whole lot of them...they are not going to let that happen.

The racist tag has not worked with Trump in large part because he has been a known quantity for years and years. He has worked with and promoted minorities on his TV show, which I would assume had a decent minority audience. He has partied with black athletes and rappers. Prince even wrote a song called “Donald Trump (Black Version)”!!!

Hopefully the Legal ones will do so in a good way.

I’m feeling pretty optimistic about things for tomorrow, but this 19% AA for Trumps thing is just not correct. It does appear that some black pastors have helped Trump and it may sway 1% of those that turn out. If he gets 10% I would be shocked.

It is a double-whammy against Clinton - first, the level of overall AA voting is lower this election (which isn’t a surprise, there’s no black candidate for POTUS). Second, Mrs. Nasty Old White Woman isn’t getting as high of a percentage of those who are voting (again, not much of a surprise since she isn’t black).

This will overwhelm any chance of Hispanics pushing her across the line in a number of states (NC and FL, specifically).

Besides, there’s another factor at work here (posited by other FReepers, I claim no credit for this idea), which is that black and Hispanic males will have a macho resistance to voting for a (nasty, nagging) woman...so there is simply no way that she can get the numbers that she needs.

Anyhow, my Jewish, Mexican (now American citizen) wife proudly voted with me last week for Trump. How’s that for confounding the conventional wisdom? My wife should have been a trifecta for Hillary - and she lost each one!

If these numbers are remotely true... Hillary is getting CRUSHED.

We know soon enough

Also the candidate, and the Dem leadership in general, has been noticeably anti-Christian, and the Black electorate is probably more religious than the general electorate. Lots of things adding up.

Not really any less “Christian” than Obama in the last two elections.

I had a similar experience.
I am from south Florida, and I was talking to a few of the Cubans at work . They are all voting for Trump. We all think that Trump will easily takes the Cuban vote. That’s no surprise since a majority of Cubans are still Republican.

However, I said it’s the Mexicans and Puerto Ricans that will probably hurt us. That’s when a Mexican vendor said to me that I obviously don’t know anything about Mexicans. He said Hillary might get Mexican women to vote for her, but Mexican men will never vote for a women.

The reason the DEMs are flooding the US with new immigrants is because they need a new demographic to lie to and get votes. They know they can no longer depend on a monolithic black vote.

A lame white guy like Romney got 6% in 2012 running against a black candidate. I'd be shocked if Trump couldn't at least triple that number.
