A SurveyUSA poll released Friday shows that 25% of black respondents said they would vote for Trump over Clinton.
According to The American Mirror Trump would more than double the best result for a Republican in modern American history… Looking at the last 10 presidential election cycles, the highest black vote share for a Republican was 12% for Bob Dole in 1996.
Blacks today make up 22% of the Democratic vote. If Democrats lost 25% of the black vote they would lose Virginia, Florida, Ohio and North Carolina.
If Trump would skim off 25% of those voters from the Democratic Party he would win the 2016 election in a landslide.
>> Trump is serious about deportation <<
Yeah, sure. Deport eleven million people right away, regardless of the cost, the logistical difficulties and the “due process” obstacles. Then let all the “good ones” back in ASAP. Dream on.
Party on puppet theatre patrons!
You’re right. Trump’s biggest opposition is the GOPe. If he prevails there, the general will be a cake walk.
Logistics? What’s that? Reality? What’s that? Due process? What’s that?
You must be for yebbie /sarc
The graph is deceptive as it makes it appear that nearly half of the Dem votes come from blacks. That is not true - it is closer to the 22% number.
But the point is still valid. The Dems know that even reaching 40% of the white vote is an uphill challenge - requiring their hand-picked Republican candidates (like Romney/McCain) to carry them across the finish line.
Those bad numbers above are offset with their huge percentages of black votes, and the overall vote gets near 50/50. If the black vote margin starts to disappear, with no corresponding gain in the white vote, then it’s not even worth the time of the Democrats to run.
“This is scary news. Of course, they have to actually go to the voting booth.”
Nope...if they don’t vote, it also helps us. Not quite as much as voting for Trump, but it definitely helps us.
“They won’t show up...”
They don’t need to. If they sit out, Trump’s landslide becomes a bit less...but still a landslide.
“PLUS it makes the ‘Latino’ vote unimportant. The dims are having heart attacks I am sure”
The Latino vote was NEVER important, and will not be for a while. Latino’s are concentrated in states where the outcomes are not even close (CA, TX, IL, NY), with only Florida being a swing state. The entire Latinos-needed construct was a trick of the GOPe to get Amnesty passed.
What is needed is the WHITE VOTE, which is what my tag-line and Profile page has detailed for the past 6 months, and is also what Trump is doing.
...but ironically, a LOT of (legal) Latinos do wind up following the white vote, as their interests are very close to that of white voters (certainly much closer to whites, than Republicans). So if you go after the white vote, large percentages of Latinos will follow. Hence the Texas results, described on my Profile page.
Blacks voted for Obama in record numbers , but there is no reason to think they will vote in the same numbers for Hillary. Blacks are good democrats, but they do not consider white women to be as oppressed as blacks. Voting for the first rich lilly white women for president just won't bring out the numbers Obama got.
I’m not so sure. Blacks don’t like wetbacks any more than other folks.
Nope. Dead voters and phantom voters are pretty locked into the democrat party. They can’t be reasoned with and they can’t be bought off.
But shouldn’t we go with Jeb on the “electability” issue?
Oh, wait...
I”ve been saying this since day one. Trump will win the black vote a large part of the latino vote. He will also win New York state, and maybe even CAlifornia.
The democrats will be forced to put resources into races where they were supposed to be theirs.
I am talking about them not showing up for the white, old democrat nominee. The blacks voting for Trump will out in full force...
“I am talking about them not showing up for the white, old democrat nominee.”
I follow. There were concerns about getting out the black vote before Trump ever showed up. Hillary certainly is no Bill Clinton or Obama, and neither are the others. They’ll probably have to pay some nutcase white supremacists to lynch an innocent black man to fire up the black vote...otherwise, you’re right, not too many coming out for the Dem, not this time.
