You’re exactly right, the only thing that can save the Democrats right now are the Washington Generals aka GOPe, but thankfully Trump understands that and will do his best to thwart them.

?? I don’t recall the mass exodus into critical thinking or any movement away from the post-Proclamation plantation. No push-off into uncharted waters of self-sufficiency. Did I miss the outcry of indignation and condemnation for calling their brothers\sisters, from the other end of the political spectrum, “Uncle Toms”, “acting white”, “house n*ggers”?

8-yrs. of Zero, setting back race-relations and opportunity DECADES...and they will STILL pull the lever for the worst black POS vs. any-other-race based on racism (skin color) (see Barry in D.C., Cummings in Baltimore, Rangle, etc.)

You won't see this many places, but Trump got 13 percent of the black male vote, according to exit polls.

Which is remarkable for a Republican, and extraordinary for this Republican, given the "Trump-is-a-racist" media blitz for 18 months.

For that reason and others, I think exit polling understates the black Trump vote. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the actual black male Trump vote edged closer to 20 percent.

You nailed it. The Dems are so far left now that even blacks can’t fully identify. Even on gay marriage, blacks are MORE CONSERVATIVE than whites, which was why it got (temporarily) defeated in California. Same for letting men chase little girls into the bathroom - blacks made sure that Houston got rid of that sick law. And we can definitely make a play on abortion, given the huge numbers of black babies aborted (relative to white percentages...something like 4 to 1)...we do have opportunities, if we have enough BRAINS to use them.

And that’s just on the social side...economically, the opportunities are endless - get the real working class jobs going, and then TELL THE COUNTRY you’re doing just that. We don’t have to win 51% of the black vote...just winning 30% cuts the Democrat advantage (they now have) IN HALF - and makes it next to impossible for the Dems to be much more than a fringe party. It also plays well with white independents...they don’t like seeing the Republicans simply write off the black community, so there’s some gain there too.

In my opinion, African-Americans by and large sold their souls to the Democrat Party’s give away/keep them on the plantation on the public dime. Their society is a train wreck and they themselves are doing little to nothing to get up on their own two feet. Pathetically, they seem to be ok with drugs, crime, shootings, unemployment, no family structure just as long as they can listen to their politicians say they are fighting for them, every one else is responsible for their plight and then get a few free small bones thrown in their direction to keep them quiet until the next election. How pathetic is that........they have no pride, only hatred. Hatred is cheap, pride requires facing reality and making personal investment to change things.

To the Dems, Blacks are just useful tools who are too stupid to understand that being bribed with free stuff for votes is killing their families/communities/young ones.

Decades of indoctrination and social engineering has just about succeeded in making it a fact that can be counted on.
