There have been at least two surveys showing Donald Trump getting between 25% (nationwide) and 13% (Florida) of the Black vote in a general election against Hillary Clinton.
In a very detailed October survey of Florida voters, Clinton gets 82% of the Black vote and Trump gets 13%; with 5% undecided. This means Clintonâs current solid Black vote in Florida is just 77% but can go up to only 82%, and Trump already has the potential to get 18%.
Clinton is in trouble with Blacks now and things can potentially get much worse.
Trump, however, is doing better than he needs to with Blacks and has a potential to get a âlights outâ 18% which is nearly in line with the SurveyUSA Labor Day number of 25%. Either number means trouble for Clinton that could make it impossible for her to win Florida, Virginia, Ohio and maybe even Pennsylvania when up against Trump in 2016.
The significance of this erosion of Black support for a Democrat candidate cannot be overstated. Certainly there are those Blacks who voted for Barack Obama out of racial pride and have re-thought there action. Nevertheless, there has to be a bloc of these voters who have Americaâs best interest at heart.
The beauty of this situation for Trump is the Black vote is a zero sum game. Every one he takes comes right out of her column and he really doesnât need very many to do major damage...

It’s starting to appear that the Native American vote is no longer a sure thing for the ‘RATS in Arizona. Closing the coal mines and power plants isn’t “wildly popular” among the tribes in northern Arizona.
He is reaching out to the Black vote. He is having 100 Pastors meet with him tomorrow.
The black community is as fed up with the dems as they have ever been. Their hesitancy with Republicans is due mainly to..
* How the Dem loving media smears and portrays the
Republicans in the most negative light
* How the Dem media never tells the truth about any
DEM and portrays the Dems in the most glowing manner
With Trump having such a big microphone, if he put together the right message(s) to reach out to the black community. He could break through the media lies and would do a lot better than the Dems would like and the Republicans could imagine.
There are principles that matter whatever your race may be: liberty, justice, freedom of worship and speech, and the right to defend yourself.
As black America wakes up and realizes the racist history of the Democratic Party and how blacks have been used and abused, there will be hell to pay. That’s why the Rats are pushing for amnesty and more immigration.
Even beyond the ‘Church’ Blacks and disappointed ‘Civil Rights’ Blacks, Trump has Name and Bling-Appeal.
These go a long way with Urban Youth.
To the extent that they pay attention to issues, the last thing these young blacks want is Mexican gangs getting a membership boost.
All of the reasons why black support of Trump is high are totally incorrect.
Three things that the black communities idolize: Money, power, and respect.
Listen to any hip-hop record; Trump is name-dropped constantly.
The way Trump portrays himself. The "Boss" mentality. The total confidence and projection of manhood. The power he has and the billions he earned. The way Trump represents NYC.
Blacks understand that, and want to be like him.
So the lesson is, don't pander to blacks. Don't promise them government goodies that will do more harm than good.
Teach them the way via the free market, and explain that they too, can be billionaires if they put hard work and effort into it.
Trump is the ONLY CANDIDATE whose stated policies will create MILLIONS of high-paying manufacturing and related jobs for blacks (and others, of course). Given that most blacks (unlike some other groups) still love this country and prefer to be working, rather than on welfare, I’ll be surprised if Trump doesn’t wind up exceeding 25%.
And note that in all of Trump’s alleged ‘gaffes’ (at least that I can remember), he has never once insulted blacks. He is in an EXCELLENT POSITION to hit that 25% mark and BLACK VOTES MATTER much more than (non-Cuban) Hispanic votes in virtually all of the key purple states.
We are looking at a BLOWOUT with Trump.
Why should he change what he's doing? He's winning.
'Reach out' usually means 'reach around'.
You have nailed it.
And one more thing, Trump treats everyone equally. His fairness is obvious to all races. He, for example will make it a point that deportations will be based on a subject’s behavior here in the US.
All anyone should ask of another person is to be treated with fairness.
I think what Trump is doing is great, he is not just winning, he is exposing the GOPe agenda.
But it would be even better if he is able to strip away a nice slice of the Dems base, so their only solid support is their privileged progressive/liberal leftist clique.
He doesn’t have to change his message, just have an outreach tailored to the black community and some of their concerns. Not everyone will be won over, but I think a good number would be.
It could be a good start on dismantling the Democrats’ state that has been built under Obama.
