I read somewhere (validity unknown) that for Dems to win major elections they need a minimum of 85% of the black vote.

Whatever the actual percentage is, the Dems are actively replacing their dependency on black voters with Mexican voters - mostly illegals.

What US blacks fail to understand is that the Democrat Party is working on changing their primary minority constituency from blacks to Mexicans. Which is not far off. Will they figure that out? I am doubtful.

It’s gotta be very frustrating to be a black conservative.

If President Trump gets more than 10% of black American vote he will win easily. The average of the most recent polls of black American support for our president is 33%.

Don’t remember if these polls were of black Americans or, Likely Voter black Americans. If they were the latter the dems are in trouble.

In 2016, the Democrats, with the help of the media, portrayed Trump as some kind of cross-burning, white supremacist. But three years of reality have demonstrated that the Democrats are liars, and the Trump economy helps everyone.

Trump got 8% of the black vote in 2016. It would be a roaring success if he got 11% or 12% in 2020. Let’s not kid ourselves here people.

Exactly. Trump may well improve on the 13% of the black male vote, but improvement in the 4% of the black female vote is pretty much dead in the water.

The black vote turnout will reach record levels in 2020.

What about what’s better for parents of most “blacks”: welfare?
Tough choice. Good for him!

Shortly after his election, President Trump announced a powerful plan to revitalize America's inner cities, specifically meaning Black ghettos, by bringing them into wealth, education, and all the benefits that America can offer.

This is the last thing the Democrats want! It would deliver millions of Black votes to Trump.

The Democrats sabotaged this plan and all other plans of splendor, benevolence, and vision that President Trump's genius and puissance would bring to America.

Their main method of sabotage was to keep President Trump occupied with defending himself. That's what the 3-year-long "impeachment" is all about--that and preventing him from exposing the truth about the crimes of the corrupt establishment.

If America can get the Democrats out of President Trump's way, his genius will bring priceless treasures to America.

The Democrats will stop at NOTHING to prevent that from happenin

There is a not too dissimilar thing that has happened with social conservatives. Many people wonder why social conservatives support a man who many see as a less than moral leader. I think that there are two main reasons:

(1) Like blacks on the Democrat plantation, social conservatives have long been the red-headed stepchildren of the Republican Party. They were given lip service but little in real action. The Establishment wanted their votes, but not their values. Trump has largely fulfilled his promises regarding judicial appointments.

(2) The second reason is surprisingly simple: Trump doesn't hate them. Some establishment Republicans, like the late not-so-great John McCain couldn't hide the fact that he despised social conservatives. Others merely tolerated them at best. They were hated by both parties. The simple act of not hating them went a long way.

Slowly, many blacks see themselves as being thrown under the bus as the democrats pivot to pandering to Hispanics, especially illegals.

I don’t believe the “Walk Away” movement was started by Trump people.

Funny how they didn’t mention that group.

Good point...I don’t know anything about the walk away group but just having taken a quick look at the site it was started by one guy, a liberal named Brandon Straka.

Let me make a prediction. President Trump will receive 28% of the black vote. Mark my words.

‘The black vote turnout will reach record levels in 2020.’

if so, problematic for Trump in PA and MI; two corrupt states with even more corrupt metropolitan centers; black malaise is what killed Hilary Clinton...

It’s hard to keep track of all these people’s connections.

I wasn’t totally sure he wasn’t connected to some Trump effort.

I’m sure glad the movement was started and publicized

2016 - “What Do You Have To Lose?”
2019 - Unemployment among Blacks and Hispanics at lowest recorded level in decades.

Keep Making America Great for ALL! Trump 2020.
