On Wednesday’s CNN New Day, Chris Cuomo brought on CNN commentator, author and host of BET News Marc Lamont Hill and former Secret Service agent and current candidate for congress in Florida Dan Bongino, to discuss Trump polling poorly with African-Americans. While Bongino argued that democrat run cities have failed black communities, Lamont Hill claimed that poverty and Democrat machines are connected, but that “doesn’t mean” being a Democrat makes you poor.
After Cuomo brought up a new ABC News/WSJ poll that predicted only one percent of blacks would vote for Trump, he asked Bongino why Trump was unable to make the case to blacks that their Democrat-run communities would only keep them in poverty. Bongino responded:
DAN BONGINO: Yeah, you know, Chris, this is one of the great mysteries of my life. If I was granted omnipotence by the Lord tomorrow to change one thing, it would be to be able to walk into the black community and largely in inner cities and say, please, look at what's happening here. I mean, these communities have been ruled monopolistically by far left big government liberals for decades. In some cases since the '20s and '30s. These communities have been driven into the ground. I mean, you don't have to be a scientist to look at the evidence, the correlational evidence right in front of you. Liberalism correlates with poverty and high crime every single place it's been tried. Yet, you have some members of the black community which support the democratic party, which continues to bankrupt them. I wish I could change it. I wish the Trump campaign could as well.
Marc Lamont Hill took offense to that, wincing then claiming there was “[N]othing far left about Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia,” at which Bongino, flabbergasted, asked, “What?”

Acerbated it for sure. Then when recovery was happening in 1936 FDR came out with his huge tax increase on the upper wage earners and drove the economy into a double Depression. Something like sixty-three percent of income.
Trade accounted for only 4% of GDP in 1930 so any trade bill could only have a marginal impact.
PhD = Piled Higher and Deeper
It isn’t just poor cities, rather it is declining cities. Degradation. A downward arc. Crappola.
He gives idiots a bad name! Just another delusional, mentality ill lib... nothing out of the ordinary.
AMEN!
No he is just over educated.
It would not be possible to assess the impact on “percentage of GDP” alone but in the importance to the overall activity of the economy.
We might not be spending all that much of our GDP on imported oil but make that stop by fiat edict and see what happens. Too much of the rest of the economy has leaned upon this convenience to expect anything but a major dislocation.
I would aver that a wiser policy is “balanced trade.” If the US exports enough widgets to Slobbovia to pay for the gimcracks it imports from Slobbovia, a zero tariff deal makes sense. Higher rates can be used as the stick, but balanced should be the carrot.
The problem with us is that we do NOT have balanced trade. We’re putting cheap junk on the national credit card which is already in a ridiculous state.
“Every day, Lamont looks at the sky and wonders what that bright thing is.”
Why don’t we turn it out during the daytime?
It is all the tooth fairies fault.
Another democrat busily dodging responsibility.
So Mumia Abu-Jamal is a "wrongfully incarcerated" convicted cop killer?
How is it that he's "wrongfully incarcerated"?
I missed that evidence...
Vote Trump!
Yep...he’s on a dole/payroll so he could care less if the rest are kept down and out.
Only because the left has been pushing the far left further and further left.
