Daily Caller ^ | 11/7/17 | Justin Caruso

A CNN correspondent suggested Tuesday that the Democratic Party may need to “alienate some white voters” in order to shore up the black vote.

CNN White Correspondent Abby Phillip said on “The Lead With Jake Tapper” Tuesday, “Virginia is the kind of state that highlights the key problem for Democrats right now, which is that in order to bring out African-American voters you might have to alienate some white voters.”

That’s not a winning tradeoff. It also tends to sour Hispanics, who are a growing demo.

“Maybe you can explain?”

Are you kidding me? Do you know what a pogrom is? No, you need to explain how a bunch of fat, low-IQ rats, who squat in their chairs like protoplasmic jellyfish, can possibly mount any kind of attack against an armed citizenry.

BTW, you just won sergeantdave’s second award for the most hilarious post of the day. Do carry on. I’m amused.

You hope they do it? Seems to me that’s been the strategy for quite a while.

"...the Democratic Party may need to “alienate some white voters” in order to shore up the black vote."

Brilliant.

The Dems already own upwards of 90% of the black vote, but this mook thinks it would be a swell idea to alienate even more white voters to keep 13% of the population on the reservation.

I hope the Democrat party makes him their chief strategist.

So I’d 99% of blacks or something close to that percentage, vote Democrat and a much smaller percentage of whites do, then wouldn’t it be numerically necessary to try to woo white voters?

I think the objective is to get them excited enough to vote.

what is it with this hating the white person, and even worse when a white liberal hates their own race, and other white people.

I was quite puzzled by their self hate too. Someone told me, that in a communist take over, most of these self hating whites will be killed off too, but they are so deeply dedicated to authoritarianism, that they will willingly give up their lives. Who knows for sure? Each one may have a different motivation.

There are enough rich white liberals and stupid millenials who will vote for the Dems even if Gov. McAuliffe raped Mother Teresa. Add to them the “plantation blacks” who can never break away from the original party of slavery and welfare addiction.

Hispanics are now a factor in Virginia and Moslems too. It’s going to be a cold winter unless the GOP comes up with some decent candidates with a backbone and balls (women included, like Jill Vogel, who unfortunately lost).

Taxes are going sky high in the next few years and we older folk might lose our homes because of it.

President Trump was the first candidate I've seen that talked to black voters in the same way as white voters without ignoring that they were black and the challenges they've faced. I sincerely hope president Trump goes back to those places soon.

Just like being at the forefront of talking about the drug addiction problem in America he is the one candidate who honestly seems to care about solving problems and those communities have them. President Trump took 15% of the black vote I believe - if he can improve upon that the democrats can't win. Not because of the number of votes from black though it helps, but because it is a bell weather of how other disenfranchised/disenchanted groups who view themselves as marginalized in American society will vote.

Standing up for helping in a loving and meaningful way in the black communities in these hell hole cities rather than offer hand outs and patronizing speeches is part of a winning recipe.

Doubtful he going to win over a the majority but it will force the democrats to defend territory and theirs will be a message of continued dependence. Then go to the Indian reservations of all the people in this country president Trump is one of the few that has an unique perspective of what casinos gaming and alcohol addiction does to a family.

Yes, that was one of the least talked about outcomes of Trump's victory, and for good reason. It had to horrify the Dems like nobody's business.

If Trump makes even greater inroads into that voting block, he just may break the over half century stranglehold the Dems have had on the black vote.

So Liberals appear to have a hero complex demonizing whites as villains and idealizing blacks to feed their child-like egos. This in spite of the fact that blacks are almost 30 times more likely to inflict violence on whites than the reverse.

This is not to say some black people aren’t great people because there are many who are. But their is a cancer in the black community that is fed by liberal propaganda and ego gratification.

Self hating whites - as a result of unending guilting of whites (mostly by other whites!). Whites better get over this pathology or they’ll end up like the Jews.

Democrats would be fools to alienate Whites who still vote for them in hopes of winning more Black votes.

Plus, it doesn't work that way.

African-Americans already give an overwhelming percentage of their vote to the Democrats.

What makes Black turnout go up isn't issues or slogans: it's nominating Black candidates.

An African-American Democrat who's half-way competent will also pick up non-Black votes.

One who doesn't win votes from non-Blacks probably isn't competent or likely to be a plus for the party in the long-run.
