Blacks don’t matter to the Democrats. Muslim is the face of the new Democrat voter.

No, they’re not.

They get those votes for free, pretty much forever. The Republicans, spineless as they are, will never say they will give away as much stuff as the democrats always say they will.

No reason to invest any more than a token effort (pun absolutely intended).

Dems aren’t “making” this mistake - they already made it, and black voters directly cost Hillary PA, WI, and MI. Trump outperformed Romney with blacks and Hispanics, and I believe both groups are slowly but increasingly seeing what open borders does to their standards of living here.

When are blacks going to see...open borders/illegal immigrants are taking away from them?

When invaders are deported and job opportunities arise. When there are more school and public safety resources available to them, rather than those things being sucked up by invaders.

I completely agree. When you couple that with the very effective job liberals have done with inner city schools, converting those schools to indoctrinations centers. Inner city kids are virtually uneducated, but have very strong opinions about the superiority of their own race and of Democrat politics.

Republicans should not buy into this hogwash about the Democratic party being directionless and lost.

Eggs Zactly. The blacks have been used and abused as mules for the Left.

Now the Left has found a new grievance constituency.

There is very little African in African-Americans?
They need to open more African Restaurants or something.

Yep, and you can throw the job killing Democrat
environazi regulators into the mix. As much as I
despise the lousy, lying Rats I must admire their
ability to manipulate various groups with at-odds
agendas into political support down through the
generations

“Republicans should not buy into this hogwash about the Democratic party being directionless and lost.”

I respectfully disagree. I certainly see your points, but the Democratic Party is a mess right now. The mainstream media makes it look like they’re unified/strong with the various stupid protests and what-not, but that party is a complete disaster outside of the West coast and the Northeast. They took a major nosedive during Obama’s Reign of Pain :-). Sure, they won the “popular vote”, but that’s worthless in our Republic. Most states have taken a turn to the right.

The Dems made a fatal mistake when they started calling “blue collar whites” “uneducated whites”. That turned the Rust Belt into a battleground. They lost a majority of the working class. This is going to spill into the working class black community sooner rather than later. That’s when you’ll start to see GOP gains in the black community ... gains the media won’t be able to hide. That’s also when you’ll start to see some ridiculously sickening, blatant racism from the far left (it’ll include Hollywood and a lot of the puppets that parrot Dem talking points daily).

If Trump somehow lays down the narrative to clean up a city like Chicago, and the dangerous areas of Chicago clean up even a tiny bit, the inner cities will start to listen.

If the GOP wasn’t so frigging stupid, they’d be taking full advantage of these basic facts and would be working hard to permanently fracture that party. Instead, they’re lining up in front of cameras to outdo one another trashing the President while the Dems recuperate.

Fortunately, Trump knows how to play hardball. If any other GOP candidate somehow won the Presidency, they’d let the Dems make a comeback within a year. Trump seems to be making it difficult for the Democrats.

I’d never sit here and say the Democrats are dead ... the political mood of the country will swing back and forth one way and another for as long as it exists. However, I think the “1960s Left” took a fatal blow ... it’s up to the GOP and/or the President to see to it that the Democrats don’t get the political medical attention they need to somehow survive that blow.

We’ll certainly get a better feel for who’s right and wrong next year :-).

When are Blacks going to learn their leadership has sold them out for their own wealth. They separated the family for welfare and handouts to get Democrats elected.

How do we know that they don’t like being on the Plantation Still? Isn’t that why they keep voting demonrat, to stay on the plantation?

The Rev. has taken blacks for granted and shaken them down all his adult life.

Black Democrats need to wake up and take notice that their party has abandoned them as its most favored minority constituency. Illegals, Muslims, and third world refugees, are now that party’s favored minorities.

I still see blacks attempting to exert some sort of dominance and muscle in the Democrat party, but the party has sold them out on the rank and file level.

The black men did. Only voted 77 percent for hillary. That might have helped Michigan and PA greatly.

Black women decided to ruin their lives by voting 97 percent hillary still.
