Byron York: Asking for black votes, a very different Donald Trump
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | Byron York

How many times have Donald Trump's supporters and critics debated whether he will pivot to a larger, more presidential candidacy? Too many to count. So put aside any talk of pivoting — the fact is, Trump delivered a focused, powerful, and disciplined speech Tuesday night in West Bend, Wisconsin, about 45 minutes north of Milwaukee. Trump focused largely on problems that disproportionately afflict black Americans, arguing that his proposals on crime, immigration, trade, jobs, education, and other issues will improve African-American lives more than Hillary Clinton's.

Trump began by declaring, "We're at a decisive moment in this election," which few would deny, given Trump's perilous position in the polls. Last week he laid out a jobs plan, Trump said, and on Monday he outlined a plan to defeat radical Islamic terrorism. Now, he came to discuss "how to make our communities safe again."

Calling the recent riots in Milwaukee "an assault on the right of all citizens to live in security and live in peace," Trump won applause with the declaration that "Law and order must be restored."

"The main victims of these riots are law-abiding African-American citizens living in these neighborhoods," Trump continued. "It's their jobs, it's their homes, it's their schools and communities which will suffer the most as a result. There's no compassion in tolerating lawless conduct for anyone."

Trump charged that Clinton and the Obama administration have pushed a "totally false" narrative of widespread police abuse across the United States. "The problem in our poorest communities is not that there are too many police," Trump argued. "The problem is that there are not enough police."

"Those peddling the narrative of cops as a racist force in our society — a narrative supported with a nod by my opponent — share directly in the responsibility...

Trump has succeeded in marginalizing the MSM. He can get things done by going directly to the people (like Reagan did) - bypassing the media.

And don't they hate that.

The GOP has never been able (or willing?) to talk with the black community. (Perhaps the leadership did not want to; after all they are the Establishment, they side with the dims.)

Finally we have a man who cares about all people and wants to help all law-abiding Americans.

Yep! Unless a miracle happens. This election is going to be stolen right under their noses. It will be stolen through the electronic voting machines. There has been adequate warning from programmer experts that this will happen, but their cries go unanswered and unheeded. I have not heard of a plan to counter this from our side.

Yes, on one feed alone, Right Side Broadcasting carried by Dark Sky Watcher ## (?47, ?74) S, there were close to 25M to 50M viewers This is JUST one feed among countless others.

BTW, Right Side’s Joe Seales(?) spoke before Donald’s speech to share his plans with Right Side viewers. He hopes to continue with this type of coverage after the election. RSBN hopes to be broadcasting Truth, Justice, and the American Way for years to come. Joe has a winner here, and a helpful tool to Make America Great Again.

All hes got to do is get a small percentage of blacks and Hillary will be obliterated. If blacks didnt vote primarily for democraps every election, if it was balanced, Democraps would never win elections

You didn’t say anything Anti-Trump. I stand corrected. You DID however, post pure defeatist crap. My fault for incorrect labeling.

You have a point there. But thievery runs deep in a Democrat’s heart.

You presented no current facts. You presented DEFEATISM based on past elections. 2016 is not 2012, nor 2008 or even 1980. Trump continues to re-write the “norms” for a presidential campaign. Enjoy your defeatism & have a stellar day.

Vote Trump 2016

Trump will get a significant number of black votes because he’ll speak to the great fault line that will one day rip the Democrat Party wide open.

Despite all of the happy multicultural rhetoric, at the end of the day Blacks and Hispanics simply DO NOT LIKE EACH OTHER. The implied threat that he’ll send them all home is going to resonate in the ‘hood. You watch.

Agree. He’s not afraid of being called a racist for pointing out the hypocrisy and one focus ( vote and their own security) of the Democratic Party.

Go Donald

WE should make a distinction between the Jews living in America that seem to despise average Americans. And those Jews living in Israel who are in danger of their very existence.

So many times I’ve read articles very hostile to average Americans, and when I trace the background of the author, I’m surprised that it is a Jew who has lived a very privileged life. Not sure what gives there. Could it be that Jews don’t like Christians at all?

I do not think as many blacks will make the effort to vote for Hilldog as they did for Obama. That will likely be the biggest difference.

Your living conditions are horrible. You have voted for Democratic leadership for about 100 years. Those Progressive Democrat leadership and bigots and do not care about you, only your vote. Vote Trump for a bright future. Vote Hillary, and get more of the same, including riots.

Good speech by Trump last night. He said what many of us have been saying all along: Blacks have supported the Democrat Party for years, and have received nothing in return. It's been a one way street. Once they've cast their votes for the Democrats, their loyalty is never rewarded. Donald Trump needs to keep repeating this, just as he did last night in plain, straightforward language. At some point, people in the minority community will begin to listen and realize that he's right.
