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.
