I’ll never understand why the black community continues to vote for candidates en masse that will keep them on the plantation.

I am sure he will get a few of his friends to vote...for Trump. Hillary better start getting nervous and cut some cheese.

Some polls show Trump with 20% of the black vote. If that holds up, Hillary will be doing Emmy skits with Jeb next year.

We just need a few peoplelike this, who can make a legit case for Trump without getting buried under the “Uncle Tom” label, to open up a genuine debate. From there, the edifice will crumble.

I like Trump, but this guy, and unfortunately many like his are pretty confused, going from supporting a Socialist to a Constitutional Republican.

Peer pressure is a powerful factor in many things people do. Politics is no different.

The DNC has had 'dibs' on the confused for years...

Maybe he woke up to the fact that the socialists sold him out for $600,000, and he didn’t get a cut. So he switched.

What does he have to lose?

At least with Bernie, they wanted a better ration than what the typical Democrat was going to bestow.

Which is where Trumpian free enterprise bursts into the picture. An OPM habit is going to be more limiting, in almost all cases, than what one can earn oneself.

We should be thanking God that they at least came to a better port, where they can find more help for themselves and can also help other people.

If a Bernie Sanders supporter who dislikes Hillary and hates the DNC for rigging the primaries on behalf of Hillary wants to vote for Trump, why would we want to dissuade him?

I also get the impression that there's a certain type of voter out there who just likes being a political gadfly and will vote for whichever candidate he thinks will shake things up and stick it to the establishment regardless of ideology. My guess is that this is the case for this guy. I wouldn't want such a person to hold office, but once again, if he can help stop Hillary, I welcome the vote and the support.

Hey I’m with you. May the confused vote for Trump.

But in the longer run, you get concerned about the level of confusion in our country.

Maybe they're looking for someone other than a lying democrat with their big promises every election season AND no action after the vote.

Sanders represented change - Trump represents change... it's that easy...

Peer pressure isn't just a "Black thing".

It IS a major component of the "Liberal Thing".

As for Virginia.

Northern Virginia is, on balance, highly educated, very well paid, young, white and liberal. There are pockets of older folks/retirees and a few minorities but it is these young white liberals that have made my state "Blue".

The rest of the State is much like the rest of the country. Richmond and the Tidewater area are predominately black and vote for the "Rats" no matter what. It has been the growth/increase in these young transplants to NOVA that has put the entire State in the Democrat camp.

I made no such suggestion.

They should all go back to sleep...

It’s frustrating - what I really mean is someone needs to wake them up. They’ve lulled to sleep by the Leftist Lullaby of Lies from their youth.
