“Why the gop has just ceded a 6th of the population to the ‘rats is a mystery.”
Up until the FDR years, most blacks voted Republican. ‘Party of Lincoln’ and all that. When the Dems stole them away, the Republicans didn’t fret, because at that time, they didn’t need the black vote to win elections like the Democrats did.
Since 1965 the Dems have been importing voters through our relaxed immigration rules. Even so, they’ve had to resort to allowing tens of millions of new ‘voters’ to come in illegally, in order to stay competitive with the Republicans.
Of all the voting blocks owned by the Dems, blacks are the most ripe for the taking by the Republicans, as they have a stronger ancestral and historical connection to America than any other Dem voting block.
Trump should just say to blacks, “Come home. This has always been your party.” He’s already offering a message of emancipation from a life of handouts and poverty. He merely needs to keep hammering in that basic point, and he’ll wind up with a bigger share of the black vote than Republicans normally get.
