California NAACP President Alice Huffman said Trump’s campaign pitch to black voters – “What the hell do you have to lose?” – was already proving prescient.

“We’re losing on every ground,” she said. “I think he’s a liar. I think he’s a cheat.”


Trump hasn't been president very long so if the African-American community is losing ground that's something that started before he took office. How is the African-American community doing in black run cities such as Detroit, Baltimore, New Orleans?

Absolute BS and a big lie. Nobody of any color has had time to win or lose yet. What these political hacks are doing is telling djt they Want their constituents to keep getting screwed like the last 8 years. So they can keep playing the same “I’m fighting for you” reelection game.

What does Donald Trump owe to California? The vote fraud there gave a bogus “popular vote” victory to his opponent, who failed big league throughout most of the rest of the United States, and the few times he ventured out there, he was met with unyielding hostility. They did not even want to HEAR what he had to say. And they hurt others to make that point even more strongly.

The Donald has no need to lie, and he gains absolutely nothing by resorting to the kind of “cheat” that seems to profit others so much.

In the past 60 days, blacks have lost on “every ground”? Before the Republican even passed legislation? Wow. I wonder how he did that.

California is just about the bluest state in the Union, and black people are literally losing ground here more than anywhere else, as the black population is replaced by immigrants from all over.

It's not the 'people' who as losing on every ground.

It's the Black lawmakers and political leaders in California who are losing ground, and they are really, really upset about it.

African-Americans have been replaced by illegal Mexicans. Will they accept it or act to have them deported?
