According to Cain, the Trump phenomenon can be summed up in three words: "Leadership, fighter and winner."
Cain, the former Republican presidential candidate, says the "Trump phenomenon" is so powerful that black women are leaving the Democratic Party to support Trump, a current Republican presidential candidate.
Cain might not be that far off base, at least according to political consultant Frank Luntz, who told the online Politico page recently that Trump has a good chance of winning the black vote should he win the Republican nomination.
"If he were the Republican nominee, he would get the highest percentage of black votes since Ronald Reagan in 1980," says Luntz.
"They find him fascinating, and in all the groups I have done, I have found Obama voters, they could've voted for Obama twice, but if they're African American they would consider Trump."

The thing is... the more I think about American history, the more I think there was an ersatz side to its Christianity that rendered the real side mostly into shadow.
I know I sound like a lot of screaming liberals... but the more I think about screaming liberals, the more I realize that if they had really met Jesus, most of them wouldn’t be screaming like that. They might be weeping in gratitude, though.
It’s the grace of the Lord that fills in the myriad holes that our sins otherwise create, and often we aren’t even aware of that unless we are someone like St. Francis, or John Newton, who can sing about “Amazing grace, that saved a wretch like me.”
But the patch of unshrunk cloth (one that isn’t of a kind with what it would patch) is one that looks okay for a while then comes loose. Usually at the worst time, too.
Uncorking the actual Christianity (getting out the proper patches) is what America needs to see, and it hasn’t seen it.
If Cruz won’t step up to that plate, then maybe God has something like a Trump presidency (so we at least get competent worldly management) in tandem with a revival at a lay level, on the plans. Just sayin’.
I just hope those two black girls, Diamond and Pearl keep campaigning for Trump. In 60 some years of watching campaigns I have never seen anything like them, and am sure they are doing some good.
For people who have been paying attention. I have no doubt he will take care of some things properly, but I think when all is said and done, he's still going to be a Northeastern Liberal.
And it won't until hardship brings it low. We have become such a foolish people that no lessons will be learned until pain teaches them.
So he got tired of all the blondes?
The latest SC poll finds that Trump leads Cruz among women TWO-TO-ONE. Rubio is 2nd and Cruz is not even third. Cruz would be a general election nightmare.
Think of Trump as King David. A flawed vessel that does the work of the Lord. David wasn’t perfect but God loved him anyways...
I agree. It’s Diamond and Silk - here’s a link to the their website - scroll down and click on videos if you want to watch any of them:
