For all the strategic calculations,sophisticated voter targeting and relentless talk about electability in Iowa and New Hampshire,the Democratic presidential nomination will be determined by a decidedly different group:black voters.

African Americans will watch as mostly white voters in the first two contests express preferences and winnow the field — then they will almost certainly anoint the winner.

Assinine press in full fake news mode—as always. Never let the truth get in the way of the agenda.

So reparations from non-African Americans are now on the front burner.

Should lose a lot of average people who didn’t call themselves white supremacist racists until being accused of that.

Unless they fall on their knees with white guilt and agree tearfully to shower them with reparations money from their life savings and childrens’ college funds.

Oh, the humanity.

Dems are playing a dangerous game. They have captured the black vote by making blacks their favored group. But now Dems have a new love, illegals. Very often, favors for illegals conflict with favors for their former love.

Black people will notice, and won’t like it.

that is why they use the blanket term “people of color” the Dems vote is 67% “people of color”, Blacks, Hispanics and Asians. Trump needs to court Hispanics as they are now 18.6% of the population and vote 70% dem-blacks vote 92% dems at least there is hope with Hispanics.

The Hispanic vote is key: Just look at the states won by Trump,he won 32 states but only 4 have a population of Hispanic voters over 13%. Clinton by contrast won 28 states and only 5 had a Hispanic population of under 13%.

Black DUDES only went 78 percent for hillary.

I know “only” is a relative term here.

But I believe it helped in the upper mid western states.

Black women voted 96 percent Hillary.

There’s NO HOPE with black women, it seems.

This means Buttgag Buttplug Buttigieg Alfred E. Newman is out of the running. He has almost zero support among the afro voters. He is last in popularity with blacks of all the 20 wanna-be Dems.

“Trump needs to court Hispanics”

no, he doesn’t ... “courting” is just a fancy word for “pandering” ... Trump needs to do what he’s always done: appeal to everyone equally without playing favorites ...

playing favorites is the quintessential Democrat tactic, and most Trump supporters of all races, creeds, cultures, religions, and genders love him because he does NOT pander: he treats all Americans the same ...

The next election will likely be determined by FAKE votes.

This is typical manure from a liberal news source that lies like a rug. As of the last census, only 12.3% of the entire United States was made up of blacks. And in that same census, only 4% of blacks make up the populous in Iowa and 1.7% in New Hampshire. How in the absolute world a minority number of people of a combine 5.7% of the population can make a difference in those two states is a complete fabrication, (that’s a lie for those in East Nicholas. And yes, I’ve been there)

They are right, but in the wrong way.

In 2016, 3% of blacks who had voted in 2012 stayed hom in FL, NC, and PA. (Probably in WI, but I haven’t seen the data).

In FL, this was very nearly the margin of victory for Trump. Certainly it would have been in PA and MI.

Currently, Trump’s approval average in the major polls among blacks is at an all time high. @SHEPMJS follows these numbers on Twitter, but I think they are now hovering at an average of 17%-27%.

If Trump gains just 2% over his 2016 number (i.e., 10%) BUT if also another 3-7% stay home (as I believe they will) for a net impact of about 13-15% (i.e., counting a stay at home as half a vote), this will be devastating for DemoKKKrats and could even swing VA, which Trump lost by just over 200,000 votes as I recall.

The reality is glimmering through the euphoric hate Trump fog........ the coalition of coalitions is in trouble.

Next will come the realization that women are deserting.

A few blacks here, a few women there and zap....... the coalition no longer has the glue to hold it together

The irony is that Biden is the only Democrat running. He is leading because dyed in the wool democrats are put off by the radical outliers.
