You answered your won question, the ones that appear on TV shows you claim speak for all others...

I cannot choose for anther and I hope that Black folks come to realize that the Democrats want to keep them on the plantation and all of the programs they provide as help is really done per their perception that they are “Children” and are incapable of doing anything for themselves without the Democrat “Master” giving it to them

Just so you know through a miracle of life I have a lot of family in Jamaica that does not share my skin color. Different branch of the same line and NONE of them treat me as anything less than a member of the same family.

The malady you speak of is the breakdown of the Black Family that took off in earnest under the Johnson Administration. Look at the Abortion numbers and how many Black lives have been lost there, and they support this?

I do not share the inequality based on color doctrine one bit, but the one Martin Luther King (A Republican BTW) posed

Not to judge by the color of Your skin, but the content of your character

72% of Black households are single parent, and the damage is astounding to the children who grow up in that situation.

My sorrow and love runs deep for them to awaken and throw off the shackles they have accepted if I believe what you say

More Black people are gainfully employed than at any time in history, and yet you say the Women will vote for socialized Slavery as the preferred model to self empowerment and breaking the chains?

Damn, that is a very depressing position if you are to be believed

Sounds like propaganda to me!

Who said anything about black women apart from you? This article is about the black vote in totality. Of course Trump will get more votes from black men then from black women, same as he will get more votes from white men than from white women.
Bottom line, Trump will increase his black vote overall by at least 50% if not more. I wouldn't be surprised to see Trump get 15% of the black vote in November if Bernie is the candidate.

Surprises me people still don’t get the anti-Trump/anti-GOP hatred in this country. I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. I will be stunned of Trump exceeds 10% of the black vote in 2020.

They need to do this. In a fifty fifty country, a couple percent shift in minority votes seals the deal, and delivers a landslide. And steals DNC’s favorite issue.

Trump is the working man’s president, and working men come in all colors.

Oh puleeze!
I get blacks more than you think seeing that I am black myself. It is you who doesn't get it.
Trump will get 12% minimum. If its Sanders Trump could go as high as 15%. If its Biden, Trump will still get 12%.

In addition to the benefits derived from the Trump economy in terms of jobs and increased wages, I would also tell Black voters that this is a historic opportunity for them. The opportunity is to send the message to the Democrat party that they cannot take the Black vote for granted. Monopolies suck. You get crappy service and high prices. Its the same in politics. By sending the message to both parties that their votes are up for grabs, both parties will have an incentive to campaign for those votes. That can only be achieved by voting for Trump.

Well, previous Republican candidates have never really tried aggressively to get the black vote. Just look at Romney for example. The guy couldn’t even inspire whites, let alone blacks. Trump has aggressively gone after the black vote.

I would open each of them under a banner that states:

“What the hell do you have to lose???”

I have to believe a certain percentage of black voters must get tired of being condescended to by DNC. We want those guys. They belong on our team.

You are not going to win anything in life if you don't even try. Don't assume that just because you are a Republican candidate, you are not going to get black votes. Doesn't matter what previous candidates got.
Trump gets that. He is going to go aggressively for the black vote. He has nothing to lose really.

“I’m all for minority outreach, but Trump needs to maximize the white working-class vote or he loses... sounds like he’s listening to corrupt RINO consultants in his campaign.”

bullshit ... when did Trump ever listen to “RINO” consultants? never. Trump’s campaign is being run by the genius Brad Parscale, a guy who never ran a campaign in his life until three years ago when he was hired to make Trump’s very first campaign website, and quickly worked his way up to being in charge of Trump’s entire 2020 campaign ...

and making explicit efforts to reach groups that traditionally do not vote GOP in no way slights other groups who’ve already been reached, especially because Trump does not pander: trump has a single message for EVERYONE: america first, make america great again and keep america great, create job opportunities for everyone, keep wages rising for everyone, protect everyone from illegal immigration, keep everyone safe, keep our families safe ... and making sure that singular message reaches everyone, particularly groups not traditionally reached by traditional methods, is very, very smart campaigning ...

“Maybe with black males, but as soon as you add in the black females, that number craters. Trump quite likely won’t exceed 5% with black females against any DEM candidate at this point. “

you totally fail at both math and logic. that 20% was for both black males AND black females, so black females have already been “added in”, and so it doesn’t matter what percentage of that 20% is black females ...

“Ever listen to black females talk about politics? How about during news to TV talks shows, when three of six liberal panelists on a CNN or MSNBC show are black females?”

so how exactly does the number of black female commentators on CNN and MSNBC correlate to how black females in general will vote? is there a formula that relates the two? do you even know how many black females WATCH CNN and MSNBC? or what proportion of black females voters watch CNN and NBC?

as usual, you’re just blowing ignorant smoke ...

Trump will get at least 12% of the black vote. You can take it to the bank

I say your definitely right, but you're being too conservative.

I'd say he'll easily end up with 15 to 20% of the black vote.

He might even surprise himself and pull in 30 to 35%.

I made that same calculation in 1979 after a series of CS private sector jobs and a newborn to support. The calculation held up for several years, but government jobs started being more generous with the salaries, especially federal government jobs. I wound up being stuck in a dead end state job while my daughters needed college funds. But I quit at age 59 and lived happily ever after.
