Which is why he is polling at about 25% of the black vote. /laugh

They are so desperate they are using the democrat talking points.
Nevermind that the Donald is polling better with blacks than any republican since ever.
“national Republican leaders “
Ah, there’s the problem.
“we will never get out from under the lie that we are racist. it is too good of a weapon for the dems to ever give up on.”
Especially when the Republican establishment keeps buying into the lie.
“Especially when the Republican establishment keeps buying into the lie.”
As if they’ve taken a long look at themselves in the mirror and that’s what they’ve seen. However, the smokiness of PC would have clouded their vision while it threatened to hold their feet to a fire that that American people didn’t start.
You are exactly right. What a JOKE the GOP has become. IF ONLY they had gone after OBAMA like they go after Trump.
That's funny. And ludicrous. I just watched Trump's entire South Carolina Town Hall with Black Republican Senator Tim Scott.
Trump and Scott were completely at ease with each other, and in fact Trump was an early supporter of Scott's candidacy.
As a matter of fact, during this town hall meeting, Trump cited a poll which indicated that he will likely get 25% of the Black vote in the 2016 general election. It's obvious that one of the things that Democrats fear most is that Donald Trump will make major inroads into the Black community during in the general election.
Such a swing would result in GOP receiving a higher percentage of the Black vote in 2016 than any Republican in over half a century, and when that happens, this "demographic advantage" the Democrats are having wet dreams about will be utterly obliterated for generations to come.
Furthermore (and totally contrary to the meme that the media, La Raza, and their ilk are trying to foment), Donald Trump is also doing quite well with Hispanics, as a recent poll from Nevada demonstrated. The fact is, most Hispanics are not racist La Raza ideologues; many are conservative; and they, too, want jobs and opportunity, and will help Donald Trump form an invincible electoral coalition in 2016.
If any of the above information is even remotely close to accurate (and it is), the Democratic Party will be relegated to its rightful minority status as a Presidential threat for decades to come.
On top of that, I've heard some of the TDSers on this site harping on the fact that Trump is totally pro-union.
Well, I have some news for them: Trump was also very clear in that SC town hall meeting that he believes in the "Right To Work", so yet another anti-Trump "he's no conservative" myth bites the dust.
Trump is building a coalition for the ages. He's not Ronald Reagan, and guess what? That's OK. Reagan had his own era. This is a new era that needs new leadership, new ideas, and new passion.
And if Ted Cruz doesn't win the nomination, I think he'll make a fine Vice President in 2016, and an even finer President in 2020 or 2024.
Those who don't wake up to what is happening in this nation with the Trump candidacy are going to be caught utterly flat-footed when he proves all the nay-saying pundits wrong and stuns the world by becoming our next President.
And if not him, then Ted Cruz will be a fine alternative.
People get ready, there's a train a-comin'...
“national Republican leaders ... Ari Fleischer, a former White House press secretary to George W. Bush”
Lord, help us when these idiots weigh in.
Nonsense. Blacks have voted for White Democrats and their enticing yet corrosive Welfare State many times without voting race. They just need the right candidate to come along. That is happening right in front of your eyes. Hispanics, too.
The GOP could win [only] if they got the majority of the white vote.
Wrong again. They can win either way if Trump is the nominee.
Trump is going to unite America in a way not seen since the Reagan era.
Pandering to the minority only wastes precious time.
Agreed. That's why Trump won't get that large percentage of the black vote [and Hispanic, for that matter] by pandering.
Instead, he'll get it by implementing policies which will create jobs and opportunity, and which are good for all Americans.
And there are plenty of Blacks who would enjoy the opportunity of getting those new jobs.
Come and ride the Trump Train! Everyone is welcome aboard. Even you, Nick!
That must refer to a long-ago past when it stood for something. Certainly nothing after Reagan fits that meme.
Here we have Politico, in the first sentence, describing people by their skin color, calling Republicans biased.
If Donald Trump simply pulls a Reagan and comes clean on the promise of America; the blessings that freedom and personal responsibility offer, instead of the ball and chains that the liberal plantation binds them to, the Republican Party needn’t resort to pandering to the blacks. Or the browns or women for that matter.
Pandering, btw, is very demeaning to the panderee (if that’s a word). There’s no dignity in being talked down to.
My (now adult)white, Anglo-saxon children were raised in SC. They had many black friends and today they still do. When one young. married, lady had a child she named her after my daughter. One regularly has dinner with another close female friend and as a teenager, my son’s best fishing friend was also black.
Why keep promoting the ‘problems’ we have - just get on with life. We will never meet everyone on this earth, but we should embrace the people we meet everyday, and judge them based on our interaction. To the politicians - stop using race as a basis for pandering.
Yeh I guess that’s why Trump is polling at 25% with African Americans. :-)
The Confederate South was 97% Democrat.
Jim Crow laws mandated the segregation of public schools, public places, and public transportation, and the segregation of restrooms, restaurants, and drinking fountains for whites and blacks. The U.S. military was also segregated, as were federal workplaces, initiated in 1913 under President Woodrow Wilson, the first Southern president elected since 1856. By requiring candidates to submit photos, his administration practiced racial discrimination in hiring.
Republicans and those laws that protected the Negro by 1890, had moved to the north...the Democrats would run that party for decades...until the Civil Rights Act of 1964...then the democrats would blame all their sins on the Republicans while rewriting American History where they could.
He’s not doing much for the globalists’ agenda, that is for sure.
Borders? America first? America having a people with territory, interests and needs?
