The GOP is not going to win the Black vote, Carson or no Carson.
They never do.
“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.
Consider how Justice Clarence Thomas is viewed by the black community.

I’ve seen figures bandied about, here at F.R. that Trump will get 25% plus of the black vote. That ain’t gonna happen either.
I have yet to see a poll cited backing up that 25% estimate. Rectal estimate, I reckon.
My own R.E. is that Trump may do a little better than recent past republican candidates but not by much.
I generally tend to agree with that. However, here in the Houston, TX area, the only Ben Carson stickers I've seen have been on vehicles driven by blacks. Maybe some blacks who are secretly Republican feel safer about proclaiming such because they are still supporting a fellow black man? Dunno. Makes me wonder, though.
