"An overwhelming majority of black voters — 85 percent — said in a new Hill-HarrisX poll that they would choose any Democratic presidential candidate over President Trump." (source) [Sorry, the article is about Hispanic/Latino vote block, but I'm also commenting on Trump's surging black support.]
By selecting Kamala Harris, Biden didn't (possibly won't) increase his black or Latino support. But that was a "choice" by necessity, Biden need the Sanders' base. Therefore Priorities USA, the Biden campaign’s designated super PAC, director of polling, Katie Drapcho, said Biden’s support among Hispanics is “tracking closer” to what Clinton did in 2016 than what recent surveys suggest. ====> IOW, don't trust the surge of Trump's Hispanic support in recent polls.
Yes. PDJT is reaching out, which is what’s been needed for so many years I can’t count
and he is doing it honestly, not bullsheit pandering
this is what is attracting so many black voters to Trump from off the DNC Plantation
same for Latino voters. People are people first. Or at least most folks are. They want to be respected as individuals, not as mere members of a racial group. And they want to be spoken with, not to. And finally, they want to have an intelligent conversation including about some key issues, not just racist platitudes and emotional buzz words
Bump
I have yet to hear any Spanish-speaking person wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt and I am in the midst of many Spanish speakers. Only within the week have I seen a BLM shirt on a black person since the fervor began earlier this year. By far in my travels, it is young white females some of whom are mothers who have been wearing BLM shirts. Maybe Spanish are tired of the BLM movement and will vote for Trump.
Yep, when the democrat Nazis sent out the racist BLM to loot and burn down Mexican neighborhoods on May 31st, that solidified Mexican support for the democrat party. Right?
Trump will win more than 50% of the Mexican vote.
It’s great that Trump is reaching out to Hispanics, he should reach out to everyone.
As others have mentioned I think the Democrat party reaching out with lawless mobs of anarchists destroying businesses owned by Hispanics and threatening their peaceful and prosperous neighborhoods has also had an effect.
While Zombie Joe is chasing after BLM voters, Trump is going for
hard working and family oriented Latino voters.
Trump honestly deserves “Black” and Hispanic support..
He earned it.
Joe’s pandering, and the media that supports it, can only do so much.
He’s going to have a hard time beating Jeb Bush’s $75 Guaca Bowle. < /s>
He should pledge to fight for refundable tax credits in the amount needed to cover all costs of good private schools, including Catholic schools, and that will get him millions more votes.
I agree he has been reaching out much more than others in the past and I would like to think that he is up to 36% of Hispanics but it doesn’t make sense that he is down 10 over all if that is the case, so skeptical of all polls. Regardless the Hispanic vote may be the key here’s why:
The Hispanic vote goes usually 70% Dem, and 32 million voters, 13.5% of all voters. More in some states (45% of all CA voters)
Just look at the states won by Trump,he won 32 states but only 4 have a population of Hispanic voters over 13%. Clinton by contrast won 28 states and only 5 had a Hispanic population of under 13%.
In CA, the Hispanic Population is now about 40% of all voters (and yes fueled by illegal immigrants and higher birth rate )and African American 12%.
This demographic shift and resulting voting trend is what is going on in early stages in Nevada, Az, Fl and now Texas. Colorado is now over 20% Hispanic and now a dem state, Nevada over 29% and voting solidly blue.
What many people on FR don’t get is how big the block voting is for Dems, Blacks 93% Dem, gets them an 11 point start before the game to 50 starts, Hispanics not quite as bad, Asians almost 80%,
In CA, the Hispanic Population is now about 40% (and yes fueled by illegal immigrants ) and African American 12%.
So crack this block and we are in good shape
I think that’s only part of it.
Many of the Hispanics know what life is like under socialism and what would happen here if the dems took control of the federal government.
We will find out, presently, if these theoretical minority votes outweigh all the white votes Trump is giving up.
