Best he stay far away
They will vote for him but those votes will magically disappear.
If one in five will vote for Trump, that’s 25% by Philadelphia voting standards.
Trump needs to continue his outreach to black voters. He needs to visit the inner cities. The more black voters he can win, the more difficult it will be for the Dems to commit fraud.
