“There is another way, which the GOP has shown reluctance to do... just going into the Black community and ASKING for their vote instead of reflexively writing it off.”

The GOP has tried this, at least to some extent, but it doesn’t seem to accomplish anything. Why should they waste resources on something that pays no dividends?

It would pay dividends if done rightly. The pale pink Republican efforts in the past often failed to recognize the actual internal dynamics in the communities, where the Leftist narrative has been the only one heard, because of bullying tactics by the agitators.

There is a sizeable minority, at least, in many of those neighborhoods, who long for good Police protection; who silently wish someone would stop the flood over the Southern border, which terribly diminishes the job prospects for Black youth; and who identify with other Trump issues.

Look for Trump to get several times the percentage vote that Romney & McCain received.

I disagree, I think the party has done next to nothing where Black voters are concerned in the past 4-5 decades. They’ve also been terrible with backing Black candidates, while simultaneously “touting” them, they give them almost no $$. Can’t win races that way.
