Ron DeSantis and Rick Scott are winning 14-15% of the black vote according to the Trafalgar exit polls. This is NOT good news for Democrats

Henry Davis "It’s a good time to be alive and to be able to witness what’s really going on. And we got a chance, if you really want to work and get up off your ass and do something, you can do it."

The latest black support numbers for President Trump are interesting but not surprising:    Two new polls show President Donald Trump's rising support among black voters, highlighting his political gains from pushing employers to hire Americans instead of lower-wage migrants. The growing support from blacks – despite furious Democratic claims of racism – could become a shocking political validation in November when Trump will face millions of upper-income Democratic voters who are angry at his "Buy American, Hire American" policies. Among black men, Trump's "2017 average approval rating significantly exceeds his 2016 vote share," admitted a January 11 article in the Atlantic by...

RUSH: You know, I went back to the archives. Sometimes things in the news jog my memory and I go back to the archives. I keep an archive of pretty much everything I use in show prep, in a number of different ways, and I have found excellent keyword search techniques to be able to recall things. If I can’t remember who wrote it, if I can’t remember the website, keyword search. I pretty much have a fair amount of success when I have a vague memory of something. And I went back. This is a Washington Post story. It...

........ Donald Trump's outreach to African-Americans is the most significant action of the 2016 campaign so far, especially for its potential longterm implications for our culture. The liberal media and their academic and entertainment industry allies know this and for that reason they will redouble their efforts to portray Trump as a racist. This is not just to defend the pathological liar Hillary--can you imagine the moral cartwheels necessary to support Clinton at this point?--but to defend themselves, to justify the way they have been living their lives for decades, all the "progressive" pronouncements covering up the most comfortable of...

This should put the “Trump is in the KKK”, while living in New York City and a racist argument (yeah right…sarcasm off) to bed.   Shaking my head in disgust at how desperate and dishonest the media can be to its audience.  Remember prior to Trump running for President both parties liked him for over 30 years.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW9Xu35GUMY  

Let's go to the tape... According to Hillary and her surrogates, Trump is a horrible racist. He’s a bigot, he hates pretty much everybody and, if he wasn’t running for President, he’d probably be riding around the deep south wearing a sheet. He’s just that awful. Of course, no one ever said any of this during the last 40 years - over the course of which Trump was a very public figure. It’s amazing that someone could be so famous, and yet no one, anywhere, ever mentioned his rampant bigotry. Like so many others, Trump’s supposed racism only came to...

For decades, conservatives have faced accusations of “racism” from liberals who don’t have any actual arguments. Usually it was isolated to talking heads and low information voters, but in the current election, even the Democrat candidate is hounding her opponent with charges of racism. Even Barack Obama never accused John McCain or Mitt Romney of being racist. Last week, Hillary gave a speech on the “alternative right,” a far-right political movement that exists nowhere except on the internet, and tried to link Donald Trump to it. Days later, she released an ad claiming the KKK supports Donald Trump, apparently unaware...

GOP nominee Donald Trump is experiencing an eye-popping surge in support among black Americans in Florida – the biggest prize of all the battleground states – according to a new poll. Trump has attracted the backing of a full 20 percent of black Americans in Florida, a poll by Florida Atlantic University and the Economics Polling Initiative found. The survey, conducted Aug. 19-22 and released Wednesday, shows Democrat Hillary Clinton winning the support of 68 percent of Florida’s black voters. Trump took an overall lead in the state, 43 to 41 percent, within the poll’s 2.7 percent margin of error....

Progressive activists have had trouble getting African-Americans to support bringing in more Syrian refugees due to concerns that refugee children will receive more attention than poor African-American children, according to a leaked memo between top officials at George Soros’ Open Society Foundations and members of the organization’s U.S. advisory board. The October 2015 memo was part of a 70-page file containing internal documents from an October 1 and 2 board meeting in New York City. Anonymous hackers whose stated goal is to “shed light on one of the most influential networks operating worldwide” released thousands of internal OSF documents to...

YOU WOULDN'T think that a black gay man living in heavily Democratic Philadelphia would be a big Donald Trump supporter. So, imagine my surprise when over lunch recently, Saleem Khalil Vanderpump who belongs to all of those groups, told me he had every intention of voting Republican this fall. I was, like, whaaat? Vanderpump, co-owner of the Bellargo Boutique in the 500 block of South Street, explained that he is a huge fan of the self-described billionaire. I mean huge. He admires Trump's success as a businessman and has bought into the Republican candidate's campaign promise to "make America great...

Donald Trump's recent overtures to African-Americans has been met with skepticism by many voters. (snip) Even though many voters are suspect of his comments, some African-Americans welcome his words and are supporting his presidential candidacy. "It is time to wake up, African Americans -- wake up," Trump supporter Carl Nichols, who is African-American, told ABC News at the rally in Fredericksburg Saturday. "Life in Detroit, where I am from, looks like a warzone, because of the Democrats who have been there for 50 years. It's a big mess. Let's give the man a chance. You have tried out Obama, but...

Who would have thought that Donald Trump, of all people, would be addressing the fact that the black community suffers the most from a breakdown of law and order? But sanity on racial issues is sufficiently rare that it must be welcomed, from whatever source it comes. When establishment Republicans have addressed the problems of blacks at all, it has too often been in terms of what earmarked benefits can be offered in exchange for their votes. And there was very little that Republicans could offer to compete with the Democrats' whole universe of welfare state earmarks. Law and order,...

Donald Trump accused Hillary Clinton of seeing “communities of color only as votes, and not as human beings.” “Her bigotry is amazing,” he said, speaking Thursday night from prepared remarks to supporters in Charlotte, North Carolina. “It is only votes that she sees. She has been there forever and look at where you are.” “If African-Americans give Donald Trump a chance by giving me their vote, the result for them will be amazing,” he added. “Look how badly things are going under decades of Democratic leadership.” “What do you have to lose by trying something new? Watch. I will fix...

Today in Dimondale Michigan Donald Trump gave what was not only the best speech of his campaign but a speech that will one day be seen as a landmark in the emergence of a new Republican Party – a party finally returning to its roots as the party of Lincoln. If this sounds like hyperbole ask yourself what other Republican leader in recent memory has addressed America’s African American communities in this voice: The African-American community has given so much to this country. They’ve fought and died in every war since the Revolution. They’ve lifted up the conscience of our...

Donald Trump is getting traction among Blacks. Have you heard about this? Probably not. A SurveyUSA Labor Day weekend poll, showing Blacks supporting Trump’s presidential run at a rate of 25%, has been buried as quickly as it was announced. After all, news that the state media doesn’t like rarely sees the light of day. Nevertheless, what is strange about the news of Blacks supporting Trump is that it was not immediately attacked and mocked as an outlier. It was not derived from a college poll seeking to grab fifteen minutes of fame. This is chilling news in a chilling...
