Milwaukee sheriff David Clarke would also be an awesome African-American Veep choice.

The GOP is not going to win the Black vote, Carson or no Carson.

Ben Carson has been demonized as the worst enemy of blacks since Clarence Thomas. There is no way he will draw a significant number of black votes.

Right. Except when Carson was seriously running, they tore him to shreds. Yeah, they REALLY want him on the ticket.

And Allen West would make a great Secretary of Defense.

No they don't. So forget the Black vote. Forget the Hispanic vote. Trump needs to turn out his voters and hope Bernie's voters stay home.

The GOP has never had the black vote in any meaningful numbers, Carson or no Carson, so they won’t be losing much. What we’d have to do to get meaningful numbers of the black vote would make us leftists, we already have too much of a Uniparty now.

Trump doesn’t need to ‘win’ the black vote. If he takes 20-25%, he will wipe the Dems off the map.

Yes, and then look at how Powell turned out to be such a principled conservative/s

“The GOP is not going to win the Black vote, Carson or no Carson.”

With Trump they will have a bigger portion of the Black vote than usual. Without Trump Hillary will get the votes.

Since Obama had about 100% of the black vote in the last election, even 10% will be devastating, because it is crucial in some cities such as Cincinnati and Cleveland to the election in Ohio.

Seems like Trump would make a big dent and maybe take a yuuuge chunk of the black and hispanic votes— just not the majority of them.
