Why Does Trump Win With White Men? (NYT Barf Alert)

‘What’s happening out there’ with Black men and Trump? (Washington Post worried)

I and I think most Freepers would vote for a black conservative over a white marxist every day of the week and twice on sunday.

I didn’t say he won the majority, just that he won white men. 8>)

Absolutely!

And Trump is the ONLY candidate that is actually LISTENING to us and seems like he actually CARES!

Definitely.

You just destroyed the entire left "racist" narrative.

I know it’s not funny but the Krakatoa line made me lol. But all you say is true. This isn’t the first time I’ve thought giving women (and I are one) the vote was a big mistake.

[mrsmel]

Amen to this, I always say if whites become extinct, I hope that white leftists are the last ones in captivity, to get a taste of the world they’ve wrought before they too are extinguished-a world without white (white male to be accurate) contributions.

I’d do so 20 times a day...every day.It’s not the color of the skin,it’s the content of the character.A white Marxist has a character reminiscent of a giant boil on a pig’s scrotum.A black conservative has a character worthy of admiration and respect.

When I joined FR almost 20 years ago Freepers were saying that. It’s been a constant here.

[semimojo]

...just that he won white men.

Man?

[Robert DeLong]

Are you saying he only won one white man? Sadly it was far more than that. In actuality, in the 2008 election more white men than white women voted for Obama.

The Illinois senator won 43 percent of white voters, 4 percentage points below Carter’s performance in 1976 and equal to what Bill Clinton won in the three-man race of 1996. Republican John McCain won 55 percent of the white vote.

A stunning 54 percent of young white voters supported Obama, compared with 44 percent who went for McCain, the senator from Arizona. In the past three decades, no Democratic presidential nominee has won more than 45 percent of young whites.

McCain won a majority of every other age of white voters, which appeared to limit Obama’s reach into many traditionally Republican states.

Obama performed slightly worse with white women, 39 percent of voters, than Al Gore did in 2000. McCain won the votes of white women, 53 to 46 percent, perhaps an indication of the historical candidacy of his running mate, Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska.

Obama compensated for the drop-off in white female support with the strong 41 percent support from white men. No Democrat since Carter had until Tuesday’s election earned more than 38 percent of the white male vote.

It was a joke. But he didn't win white men, McCain and Romney did.

[Robert DeLong]

Yeah I figured it was, as my initial post was as well. I didn't say he won a majority, just that he won the white man vote. I had no idea it was 41% though. 8>)

So he did win a significant percentage.
