All Dressed Up and Nowhere to Go: Courting Biden's Black Voters
FreeRepublic.com | Feb. 12, 2020 | Self

Joe Biden had a strong hold on the African-American vote. "Just wait till South Carolina," they said. "His supporters will come out in droves; he'll catch the momentum, clinch the nomination, and be on his way to the White House."

That ain't happening.

Now that Biden is on his way down, and perhaps out, where will his African-American supporters go? Bernie?--No, thanks. Pete--Are you kidding? Warren--No way.

Here's a novel idea: Donald Trump!

Who says African-Americans have to support the Democrat? What have the Dems ever done for them?

This is a great opportunity for Trump to court African-American voters.

What can we do to help?

Please post your positive ideas, slogans, suggestions here.

Here's a start:

1. You've tried the rest. Now try the best!

2. Come over to the winning team--for a change!

3. Nothing to lose. Everything to gain.

That's a great one. How do we reach out to African-American voters--especially in South Carolina, where they're looking for an alternative to Joe Biden?

I'd love to see the headline: Biden's support among African-Americans shifts--to Trump!

He's turned into a sad, senile joke.

I can see both Black and White dems going for Trump.

This is assuming they assumed Biden was a moderate and either did not know about his groping etc or don’t care about it. Same goes for his slow wittedness.

Such folks likely do not want the far left to destroy what Trump has built. I do think they might swing Trump’s way.

The late Jack Kemp had many good ideas that were never enacted. The problem, in short, was that those prior "Republicans tend(ed) to focus on marketing – PR, advertising, gimmicky slogans". That is, they didn't care.

Kemp - like Trump - worked with blacks and thus considered them Americans, not a token substrata to be exploited (like Dems have done for decades).

To a large extent, Trump's activities to court minorities will be ridiculed by the MSM. Thankfully, he doesn't care. Nonetheless, it would be wise for Trump to keep doing what he's doing but crank it up. Ironically, the Kemp approach of "adopt(ing) an attitude of genuine empathy and inclusion toward workers, minorities and the poor" is what Trump has done, but he should do it with more fanfare.

Too bad that Kemp in his big moment, blew it in his debate with Algore.

Tell it like it is really simple.

For over 50 years Dems have promised the black communities everything, delivered nothing, and every 2 years blame Republicans and demand your votes.

How long ya’ll gonna get played?
