A bit hyperbolic. No group turns out 90%. Ever.
Don't tell that to the ballot stuffing DummyRats in Filthydelphia.
That's the only way they can win elections.
That percentage does not refer to the portion of all blacks voting for the democrats. Rather it refers to percentage of those blacks who actually voted and cast their ballots for the donkeys, which usually hovers around 90%. Hillary lost in part because she only got 88% of the black vote. Obama carried 93%.
I think he meant to say “90% of their votes”. They would gain so much power political power if they put their votes in play. As much as I hate the racial politics, think of the Jewish vote. The other James Baker said “F the Jews they don’t vote for us anyway” and not saying it is the only reason but GHWB lost re-election shortly after.
Hillary in New York Senate race made all kinds of deals with some Hassidic sects - even though she had the seat pretty locked up (kind of shows where she screwed up in 2016, she had hubris, she did not work the communities). One community voted something like 99% for her. It all adds up.
The black turnout in Cleveland for Obama in 2012 was 120%
A bit hyperbolic. No group turns out 90%. Ever.
Sloppy writing. What the author meant, is that Democrats need blacks to vote for them at a rate of 90%, which they've been doing for well over half a century.
About 8% of blacks are staunch Republican voters. If the Dems lose another 10% of the black vote to the Republicans, they're doomed.
