Donald J. Trump, looking to amass as many votes as possible in the South Carolina primary, is increasingly trying to appeal to the state's black voters. In doing so, he appears to hope that any memory of his 2011 demand to see the birth certificate of the nation's first black president is a distant one...
"You look at African-American youth -- I mean, 58 percent unemployment."
"We have an African-American president and he has not done anything for the African-Americans in this country, and he got a free pass and he shouldn't have," Mr. Trump said...
"You look at African-Americans that are 30 years old, 40 years old, 50 years old. Take a look at their statistics, it's very sad."
Mr. Trump's hopes of appealing to black voters was clear in an ad he began running in the state on Friday... an endorsement from Jamiel Shaw Sr., a black man whose 17-year-old son, Jas, was killed... by an undocumented immigrant.

Oh, I see. An objective biographer with no guilt involvement, no ass to cover and no axe to grind in the situation. Right.
After the primaries Trump is going to get borked harder than Bork was. It’s going to be fun to watch.
Taking glee in “the politics of personal destruction” and salivating about it so much that you attempt to tweak a Trump supporter in anticipation of it is ghoulish and pitful. I’m sorry your parents didn’t give you the support and confidence-building you needed in childhood.
Think how much different our country could have been if Bork could have avoided the lynching he went through and could have served on the Court instead, or if Thomas could have been elevated to Chief Jusitce instead of Roberts. We wouldn’t be facing the near-total destruction of our nation today.
Bork was a great man and would have been a stellar Supreme Court Justice.
Trump is a flimflam man.
Trump is probably going to get the nomination. Things will get interesting. Count on it.
Is that a threat?
Of course, it’s not a threat. After Trump becomes the nominee, I won’t say another word about him. ...at least until after the general election.
Well, okay then!
