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.

Hispanics are likely to be far less monolithic than blacks.

What I've found interesting is that Hispanics are the only racial/ethnic group where their Clinton-Romney split is almost identical for college educated and non-college educated voters.

It has become more obvious over the last 8 years where the Dems stand. With Obama, they could overlook it, given he’s Black. With HRC, not so much.

I have no idea what’s real anymore. I’m watching FOX business right now and they’re saying that Trump’s at 4% with American blacks. Gloom and doom.

I just heard on FOX News that Hillary got 94% of the black vote. What gives?

And I guarantee that blacks and hispanics lied to pollsters, with good reason, as they’d be crucified if discovered.

Tons of bogus numbers being thrown around, which some want oh-so-desperately to believe while those on the other side refuse to accept because they make them unhappy.

But these things like blacks and Hispanics voting in “record numbers” for Trump — though that should be the case, why not? — do not add up.

If all the happy numbers were really true then the overall polls would not be as close as they are; Trump would easily be over 50%.

The biased liberal polling may not reflect reality, but some of those happier numbers are totally wacked out.

Even the gays are turning to Trump.

The June killings in Orlando probably has a lot to do with that.

I just lied to one on Friday and told her I was sticking with Jill Stein.

“I hired a Illegal from Mexico to do Hardwood floor installation...”

It breaks my heart to hear you openly admit that. Illegals have stolen upwards of a million dollars in business from my family over the last decade.

Thanks for the report!

I think the Dems are in for a surprise...

>>Trump was the first GOP candidate to point out that for black Americans, the Democrat Party is — and always has been — nothing more than a plantation. <<

No, Trump was hardly the first to do so. However, the fact that no one can really remember the same pitch from previous GOP candidates speaks volumes about Trump’s effectiveness, i.e., his persuasiveness.

The GOP, and most of its candidates have been saying this for years. Somehow, Trump is finally getting through to them. Part of it probably has to do with Obama’s determined efforts to make the center cities war zones by constantly criticizing the police, but I doubt any other candidate could have, or would have, taken advantage of the situation. Trump did though, and we’ll see soon just how effective he’s been at it.

Those are the idiot voters who refuse to leave the plantation.

I am a naturalized citizen and before I made my citizenship on June 12, 1977 it never even entered my mind to vote in the elections.

I couldn’t agree with you more. You watch interviews with black people who are voting for Trump and they say they are being contacted by other black folks who are nervous to “come out” for him, but are supporting him all the same. Many of these (but not all) supported Obama and have since realized that he is just like all the other Democrats: he does nothing for the black community. They are doubly disappointed in him!

What’s more, they feel that if Obama didn’t accomplish anything for their community, there’s no way on earth that old, white Hillary will. They like that Trump is at least THINKING of ways to put money, education and jobs in their neighborhoods. Truly, “What do you have to lose?” is resonating with more minorities than the Dims can handle! :)

That’s because it is illegal. You believe in the Rule of Law. Not the case any more. We have the President urging non-citizens to vote.
