5 Reasons Donald Trump Should Focus On The White Vote

Prepare to be mindblown. A black dude is going to tell you why the GOP’s winning strategy is to focus like a laser on the white vote.

One key result of the increased polarization happening in America under President Obama is that Republicans have a chance to decisively capture the white vote in a historic fashion. In fact, the key to a Trump victory will be the white vote, not the Hispanic vote, the black vote, or any other vote.

Why? For one, the Democratic Party has already lost the white vote, and lost it big. Mitt Romney won the demographic by a whopping 59-39 landslide margin in 2012. Trump is leading it by similar margins. This is because the Democratic Party has decided that, due to the rising Hispanic and immigrant population—who vote about 80 percent Democratic—they no longer need the white vote to win, but rather can rely on favorable changing demographics to deliver elections.

This means Democrats are leaving white voters the wayside the same way they have ignored blacks for decades. The difference is that whites take notice and vote Republican in response. Black folks just keep voting Democratic.

Not off the top of my head, but surely the author here isn’t writing an anti-Trump piece.

the unemployment level alone will help Trump win a lot of states, including Ohio!

demographics always assume racist voting. it happens a lot but I do not think it will be nearly as strong with Mr Trump running, he can appeal to almost everyone / as long as he campaigns to everyone, of course

I agree. But I think Trump is going for the American vote. I’m not saying he should speak to us white folks, but all us “Americans” have got a dog in this hunt.

Well, except for Ted Cruz’s Candian #NerverTrumpers :-)

IF ANYONE is a LEGAL citizen of the United States, we are
ALL Americans. I don’t “outreach” as I’m not a socializer.
I’ll do anything I can for anyone; but act like a decent
person.

“Also, account for less black turnout without Hussein Obama on the ballot.”

IMO, much of the BLM stuff is just standard democrat pre-election turnout behavior.

How about John Gibbs, who wrote the thread’s article? He also wrote this =>

“As an American who is black, I’m supposed to hate Donald Trump. They say he’s a racist demagogue. They say he hates Mexicans. They say he hates women. They say he’s mean. Yes, I’ve heard it all.”

“But I believe that above all the sensationalist name-calling, there is a strong case for black support for Trump.”
