The practical effect of Trump getting 20% of the Black vote
The Coach's Team ^ | 9/8/16 | Kevin "Coach" Collins

No one on either side could have imagined the level of support Donald Trump has gotten from Black voters. Because they are mostly Democrats their defection to Trump in this zero sum game is extremely significant.

Black support for Trump first surfaced a year ago when a SurveyUSA national poll reported that Trump was getting 25% of the Black vote. After the laughter died down, the pollsters didn’t even bother with this claim because they reasoned it was a waste of time and money since Trump would not get the Republican nomination anyway.

As the Republican primaries went along and it became apparent that Trump was indeed going to be the Republican nominee, pollsters still refused to ask Blacks for whom they would vote because they KNEW Blacks would vote 95% Democrat anyway. Now that this has proved to be wrong, the polling industry has been thrown upside down.

Pollsters ignore the fact that even the bogus numbers they report--say 5% support for Trump--means a loss for Democrats that must be made up elsewhere. That becomes a problem because Whites, especially White men, will not support Hillary Clinton. So we can understand why it is that anyone who tries to argue that Trump is getting 20% of the Black vote must be attacked, branded as crazy and shut down.

Since that 20% is almost ALL Democrats the result is a big problem for Clinton. Since 2000, Black voters have made up an average of 11% of the total electorate and 90% of them have voted...

I think Trump is going to get more than 20% of the Black vote, I have been on different sites, and the Black Community is starting to see the ‘plantation’ they have been forced by the Democrats to live on, and now they don't like it...

Having the head of Black Lives Matter in Ferguson being burned and shot in his car the other night is very telling, could have been Clinton's body count again or Soros...

The scales are coming off people's eyes and they are looking around, and not liking what they are seeing, the Trump rallies and speeches are getting bigger every time he has one...look at the Ohio Fair the other day, right in the middle of Democrat Country and the people were there in droves to see him and V.P. Pence... yep, Trump is going to be doing very well, and the Black Community is starting to figure that out...

I saw an older black gentleman with an ‘All Lives Matter’ shirt on yesterday. I told him I liked it and gave a thumbs up. He said, “We’re trying to get the word out! God bless you.”

Even if the support is overestimated it’s still trouble for Hillary. Even 10% support would translated to a 2% deficit for Hillary in the popular vote. If the election falls on strictly partisan lines except for that 2%, we probably win on that alone.

Not a landslide from just this alone, but if Trump increases turnout and lures some other voters over, it could be.

If Trump can capture 25% of the minority vote he should win the swing states. However, his campaign team must recognize that this will increase the pressure for major campaign fraud in largely minority districts. We have all suspected that this has occurred in some urban centers.

I have been perusing social media and there is very little enthusiasm for Hillary among minorities and young people. This might indicate a depressed voter turnout from what has been a reliable source of votes in past elections for the rats. It’s difficult to gauge elderly voters because they are not prevalent on social media.

One thing I am confident about - Trump will win a shocking number of union voters. You can take that to the bank. Much like the minority community, this is a group that is asking themselves how they have benefited from their loyal support of the DNC. The rats have backed themselves into a corner with Keystone, trade agreements, immigration, and the anti-energy agenda. The media is not talking about this at all. The rats have sold out a huge voting group for the interests of a small, but financially lucrative, group of environmentalists, as well as their lust for regulatory restrictions.

I have had a similar experience in a negative form, but not one that reflects badly on any black people. I often eat at a truck stop where black people often eat. My Navigator has had pro-Trump and anti-Hillary stickers on it and I often wear my “Make America Great Again” hat. My vehicle has not been vandalized and I have received no antagonistic comments form any black people about either the stickers or hat. Says there’s not much support for her there.

Unlike the T. Coddington Van Voorhees, VII dips at The National Topsider (a/k/a National Review), many black Americans like the cut of Trump’s jib.
