Trump’s image as a party-outsider out to shake up the establishment could push GOP support among blacks to levels not seen since Gerald Ford lost to Jimmy Carter
Polls suggest African Americans may bid Barack Obama a stinging farewell by handing Donald Trump the biggest Republican share of the black vote in forty-years. For all the efforts of the Clinton war machine, the media and groups like Black Lives Matter to smear Trump as a racist, the Republican candidate saw his popularity soar among African American voters last week. Of all the things that went wrong for Clinton in the last two weeks, her falling numbers among black voters may be scaring the Democrats most all.
A Los Angeles Times/University of Southern California daily tracking poll shows put Trump’s support among black voters at 20.1 percent, an increase of 3.1 percent on Sept. 10. At that rate, he would more than triple the 6% black vote Mitt Romney got in 2012. Meantime, Clinton’s support among black voters plunged 20 points to 70.9. Trump’s message of ‘what have you got to lose’ by voting for him may have a struck a nerve with black voters disappointed with what they got from Barack Obama in eight years.
8%?
Flip him the bird; get off the plantation once and for all.
Try minimum of 15%.
He’s moving it, but not because of the “what have you got to lose” comment.
Pundits are clueless.
I mean obama, NOT Trump.
But but but HOW cam THIS be since the Democrats keep quoting two polls saying Trump gets ZERO not a single Black voter’s support not one nada. Ugh they maler me sick.
I think Dinesh D’Souza’s film is also helping quite a bit.
Dammit Donald, when we were advocating the “Big Tent” approach, we meant the big tent which drove our own base out of the entire political process.
And this is part of the reason Reince Priebus has done a 180 and got on board the Trump Train.
He wants there to be a R party for him to be the chairman of.
Could? WILL!
It’s amazing what happens when you nominate someone who actually cares about things black people care about, instead of one who just wants to lecture them about cutting capital gain taxes.
“Try minimum of 15%.”
Every four years I hear the more blacks will vote Republican and they never do.
Which, apparently, the establishment views as a bad thing.
If Trump gets 20% of the black vote in states such as Pennsylvania and Michigan and Ohio, that right there could be enough to tip the balance in those states, and enable Trump to win those states.
Ever hear blacks voluntarily going on air to enlist support like Diamond & Silk? Ever see 40 black pastors align behind a candidate? Ever see ANY poll actually showing more than 10% black support, let alone 25%?
Thought not.
THIS is what a BIG TENT looks like.
