Obama’s black supporters are crucial to a Trump win, and pollsters say he has a chance with this bloc.

If Donald Trump becomes the next president of the United States, there will be plenty of surprises along the way. One of the biggest will be the help he gets from black voters.
According to Republican pollsters and Trump’s allies, the GOP poll-leader — who has been dogged by accusations of racism, most recently for tweeting out a chart that exaggerated the share of murders committed by blacks — is poised to out-perform with this demographic group in a general-election matchup with Hillary Clinton.
“If he were the Republican nominee he would get the highest percentage of black votes since Ronald Reagan in 1980,†said Republican messaging guru Frank Luntz, referring to the year Reagan won 14 percent of that bloc of voters. “They listen to him. 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.â€

...need those Hispanic votes too.
Black voters always vote Democrat. I will believe it when I see the results, not before then.
Trump appeals to ALL Americans who have not succumbed to decadence.
I completely agree.
I think Obama was unavoidable, but now we’ve had him, blacks are ready to support Trump in large numbers.
I believe it will be a completely blow-out.
I know of at least three friends that are dyed in the wool Democrats who are voting for Trump, one black, one Jewish and a female senior citizen.
I realize this is purely anecdotal, but if you told me that these three would line up for the GOP in 2016 I would’ve bought your mortgage.
Why and how is Politico picking up in what was clear months ago?
Why is the liberal establishment now supporting Trump?
They pivoted on a dime.
Black voters always vote Democrat. I will believe it when I see the results, not before then.
That is not true in totality. The percentage is key.
Trump can win doing EXACTLY what he did to Hillary. Democrat corruption is low-hanging fruit and target-rich.
Blacks are suffering from loss of jobs to overseas and to illegals. Sadly, blacks niche had always been labor intensive/low skill work and that was the kind of work off shored or taken over by illegals. And I am not knocking that kind of work. Many college graduates have had their bills paid by a parents low skill manual labor income.
It is not a pivot. The news is now being forced to confront reality.
Who are swing voters more likely to vote for? Trump has been on reality TV crappolla and pro-wrestling for years and years. Are swing voters more or less likely to watch reality shows and wrestling than other voters? If so, it would seem to me Trump has a big leg up vs. anyone else, regardless of any political views he espouses.

Blast from the past:
D.isease Party and Bill Clinton gushed over KKK Byrd’s grave, that ‘esteemed’ senator that they heaped praise upon throughout the 90s and beyond...
Her husband also said of Obama, “Guys like him used to pour us coffee.”
Her brother-in-law, Roger Clinton, used the ‘N’ word in a nasty way on FBI crime film footage.
With Trump’s courage, black support for Hillary? Nowhere.
“Obama’s black supporters are crucial to a Trump win, and pollsters say he has a chance with this bloc.”
There aren’t enough black voters to make up for the loss of Conservative voters.
Dirty Little Secret...
Black voters do NOT like Hispanic immigration. They do NOT like having competition for #1 Most Favored Minority Status.
They’d throw up that wall quicker than you or I if given the chance.
Live by identity politics, die by identity politics.
Black voters do NOT like Hispanic immigration. - Neither do white voters and has zero to do with minority status.
There aren’t enough black voters to make up for the loss of Conservative voters.
Good riddance to the wing that gave us George W Bush.
I have an elderly neighbor, in her seventies, who has never voted since she distrusts ‘the system’. She is now registered to vote and has a Trump baseball hat and a couple of Trump bumper stickers, and will walk on broken glass to elect Mr. Trump.
Did Trump’s chart actually exaggerate the share of murders committed by blacks? Or was it accurate, but politically incorrect? Does anyone have a link to this chart?
