The Obama/Clinton/regime has done more harm to race relations and to black economic life in America... than any administation in American history

I ordinarily do NOT support specific race-based voter appeals but if Trump can at least get into black neighborhoods and talk about how America could have JOBS and opportunities for everybody including black citizens

it would help him a great deal to win the WH

I love the idea of him making a play for black voters. The standard Republican approach has been to write off black voters, allowing the Democrats to take it for granted that they will get 90-110%. Of course the media will say something like this is another sign of desperation from the Trump campaign.

HRC’s campaign is extremely focus group/data driven. There is no time for them to test a good counter. These low risk strategies can be an effective way to Cloward-Piven a top heavy operation like Clinton’s.

AMAZING!!!
I absolutely LOVE it! Hammer this home over and over.
He is 100% right. Pandering to scuz creates more scuz.
and Democrats are the creator of division, selfishness and sleaze politics.

I don’t think this is a race-based voter appeal. He’s telling the truth about democrats and black neighborhoods.
Something has to change or there will be many many more Milwaukee’s.

He won’t necessarily get the black vote but it will allow squishy whites to feel it’s ok to vote for Trump.

Everything that Trump said is true and well known by blacks. There is no reason he shouldn’t be asking for their vote. The only thing Hillary and Soros will offer is violence and more of the same.

Great Article -

The best line was:

“There is no compassion in tolerating lawless conduct. Crime and violence is an attack on the poor, and will never be accepted in a Trump Administration.”

Glad Trump has the guts to actually say what many think but are afraid to say.

I thought it was his best speech to-date.

“I thought it was his best speech to-date.”

They will continue to get better, because it's much easier to tell the truth and speak common sense than to sell the ridiculous world view of the left.

He said he was a unifier, though we were thinking Hispanics, Asians and legal immigrants. However, he’s saying what needs to be said re- AA’s. He’s even bringing many LGTBQs.

Perhaps he’s a little more focused.

I get the feeling that a pretty fair number of the people who fear and hate him today will be fans of his after his first term is done. Whichever dem runs against him in 4 years is going to get annihilated.

It was an excellent speech and he wants all of black vote not just some of it! Love the way he thinks BIG.

There is a simple reason why the left is against school choice..if a black child goes to a GOOD school where he/she can be around other children who want to LEARN that child has a better chance of growing up, getting a good job, making good money, and becoming a Republican..cant have that happen, so instead these kids go to crappy schools where they learn you get what you want by stealing and blaming whitey

Yes! More please, Mr. Trump!

Make $hillary run on the “results” that Dems have actually won for black people, not the false promises the Dems use to gin up votes.

GWB was so delicate when he referred to “the soft bigotry of low expectations”. The message needs to be more vivid and clear. We don’t need to win over Ramesh Ponnuru or David Brooks. We need to win over the people that are hurt by the ongoing travesty of urban policy.

If Trump gets 11 or 12% of the black vote it’s over. The Rats need 96% percent of the black vote and high turnout. If they get less than 90% in Miami, Philadelphia, Detroit, Cleveland those battleground states are lost.

These are the DIRTY truths that the Left hates, that their cities, their states are the ones where bad things are rising. Obama claimed that with his election the oceans would stop rising but it was Chicago where the blood tide keeps rising. So many cities with decades of ‘D’ mayors and legislatures to get what?

Oh, and another thing, where does Hillary come from? Hillary Diane Rodham was born on October 26, 1947, at Edgewater Hospital in Chicago, Illinois and lived in the Chicago area until going to college in 1965.
