If 100 or more black pastors had contacted the campaign and gave a behind the scenes endorsement he should simply have asked them to come out individually. The idea that Trump has a solid long standing personal relationship with a huge number of these black religious leaders is pretty unconvincing on its face I agree.
I have given up on Blacks recognizing that for Abe Lincoln on its been GOP backing LBJ while Dixiecrats didn’t. Reagan declaring MLK a holiday.
Segregationists, KKK Sen. Byrd, George Wallace, Clinton’s mentor Fulbright, Forbus etc. standing in their way not the Republicans.
Blacks got nothing but broken families and generational welfare from Democrats. Just about every wave of immigrants have past them by economically.
Blacks put all their eggs in the Democrat basket, and what have the Dems done for them lately.
