You think black women, or men will vote for Biden?

Unless they plan to vote 5 times each, no they won’t, they make up roughly 6% of the population...

Diamond and Silk are not liked in the black community. They call them “Aunt Jemimas”

If by “Predict” you mean “Urge”, and by “Experts” you mean the “fake news”, then the headline is accurate.

“They call them “Aunt Jemimas””

Reminds me when I was in high school my best friend was black. His sister used to call him “Uncle Tom”, I presume because he hung around white kids, and he called her “Aunt Jemima.” She turned out to be a real radical, leading a walkout of black students at our school. I don’t remember the reason but this would have been around 1967-68.

Since they tend to be near 100% for dems, the only way they would be significant is if the vote for Trump.

73% of Democrats in a recent survey said that “prior experience in elected office” is their #1 must-have in a candidate.

That’s a direct reaction to Trump. And very bad news for Moochelle.

This election may actually be decided by Millenials stampeding to vote their way out of student debt.

Isn't that generally the plan?

Did free Obamaphones ever go away? In some states, qualifying for one free benefit, makes a person eligible for up to eight additional freebies without any need for additional paperwork.

Sure...6.5% of the population is the key.

Which tells me this "journalist" is full of crap. Black females are the most monolithic block for dems that exists. There will be no shift, and they will turn out and vote the same as they have for the past 3 elections. Black males may shift to Trump in a small way, maybe 5% more than 2016, but not a significant move. The group with potential to shift right are legal Latino immigrants. The group likely to add votes to the left are illegal Latino immigrants, and today SCOTUS gave them the sign to go ahead and vote. But as always, it's all about getting YOUR side to the polls by exciting and motivating them.

Polling thus far says they are planning to.

However, Iowa doesn’t caucus until February, so all this is just drama for dramas sake at this point.

The black women vote, and black male vote for that matter is going to vote overwhelmingly D in the general, so for the general election who cares.

Where AA votes matter, are during D primaries. Since the 1970s when they started tracking this stuff, no D has won the D nomination without also winning the black vote.. So, that’s the truth... during primary season they will fall all over themselves to win their support, because unless they are stupid, they know they have to win the black vote to win the nomination.

This is why Powder Puff Pete is a non starter... For all their crying over christian white men, you will not see a more anti homosexual block than african americans as a whole.

Of course, they’re the key. According to the arrests, they voted early and often last time.
