I think nominating Omarosa for VP would crush the Dems.

Contest after contest has shown Hillary Clinton has the overwhelming support of black voters in the 2016 Democratic primary – but up against Donald Trump, the general election might be a different story.
To be sure, nobody expects Trump or any GOP presidential candidate to win the majority of the black vote, which has been with Democrats since the mid-1930s. Clinton has every reason to believe most black voters sticking with her in the primary against Bernie Sanders would do so in a general election as well.
However, analysts suggest that to consider the black vote a monolith for Clinton in November, should she win the nomination, would be a mistake. The Trump jobs message that has attracted so many disaffected white, blue-collar workers could resonate with black voters equally frustrated by chronic unemployment and unfulfilled promises of change – and Trump’s accelerating march toward the GOP nomination has proven his knack for bringing in voters who might not normally pick a Republican.
“If anything, he knows the economy,” Luz Nelson, a beautician and black South Carolina voter, said days before the front-running Clinton won the state Democratic primary with more than 80 percent of the black vote.
“I’m a New Yorker, too,” Nelson continued. “I know where he’s coming from. Nobody controls Donald Trump.”
If he wants to put any significant portion of the black vote in play, Trump would have to do better than past GOP nominees -- if he indeed is his party’s standard-bearer come November.

He already has. Look at Facebook.
He has. More importantly who in the GOP can draw more ? That’s right none because the rest all draw from the same GOP well, Trump supporters are from all demos.
Trump has more black supporters than Bernie Sanders. Including the brother of Medgar Evers.
I think nominating Omarosa for VP would crush the Dems.
I strongly doubt this factoid. The democrats were klansen back then.
Oh, hell yes.
Donald Trump has more support among blacks than any Republican candidate in history.
A SurveyUSA poll shows in a head-to-head match between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, one in four black voters line up behind Trump.
If this level of support holds until November, Trump should win in a landslide with historic levels of support from African Americans.

Trump has an excellent chance of winning AA men.
Remember what Obama said to Joe the Plumber? “We’re going to spread the wealth around.” That’s the Democrat’s plan for ALL poor people, not just blacks—give them government handouts to keep them going.
That my fly with women, who (as a group) are more comfortable having someone else take care of them. But, when it comes to men, it’s a different story.
Masculinity is not dead, including among blacks. One aspect of traditional masculinity is a man should stand on his own two feet and take care of himself. Men, in their guts, don’t want a handout—they want a JOB.
Once a man has a job, a lot of good things start coming his way: a wife, home, children, and self respect.
But, only Trump is talking about bringing manufacturing jobs back and getting rid of illegals who are soaking up the good trade jobs (and driving the wage levels of those jobs down).
IMHO, that’s why you are seeing a number of black preachers get behind Trump. They know the solution to the problems of black men is to get them jobs—good jobs—and turn them into responsible citizens.
Yes...he already is. And it is more than a few.
Watch these two “sisters,” Diamond and Silk, on YouTube:

Beyond that, you have people like Hershel Walker, the Rev. Steve Parson, Kayne West, Francis Presley, Dennis Rodman, the Nstional Black Republican Association, and quite a few others supporting him openly.
Republicans win 10 or 11 percent of the black vote on a good election. I don’t see Trump doing any better than that. Plus he’ll have enough problems with the Hispanic vote.
he already has some , but why black, why not just more Americans and stop this nonsense of putting people against people and into groups.
IIRC Nixon got about half of the black vote in 1960. Condolezza Rice’s father became a Republican because that was the only way he could vote in the South.
Yes because they are increasingly having friction with Hispanics.
Promises to “send them all home” resonate with large segments of the Black community.
any & all not enamored with the Democrap gravy train
Are you ever out to lunch.
I was out with friends the other day and three out of four of my Hispanic friends are ardent supporters of Trump, and I didn’t even bring him up. They did, and they wouldn’t stop raving about him.
I drove one guy home and for 1 hour and 15 minutes he explained to me what illegal immigration has done to our region.
Your mindset is strictly GOPe. It’s outmoded, wrong headed, and actually racist to think these folks can’t distinguish between right and wrong, legal and illegal, and what the right thing to do about it is.
On top of that, it is their neighborhoods that are ravaged by crime, slum conditions, falling property values, and unfair competition to take their jobs.
Why is this so hard for some folks to grasp?
Yep, I’d go after the Dems for putting Teachers before students, especially in the ghettos. Add school vouchers to the mix. Just remind them it isnt Repubs holding their children back from a quality education. Same holds for Latinos.
