Trump has insulted everybody.

So has Don Rickles. And yet he is a beloved figure.

Trump won’t get the black vote either. Not 10%. Not close.

“Last Tuesday at his post SEC primary press conference, Trump looked directly into the camera and said that he will get 25 percent of the Black vote.”

So what? Trump says a LOT of stuff and doesn’t back it up.

Give me one example of how he has insulted an opponent’s voters.

The media is ignoring the polls showing Trump getting 20% of Black vote but it is thee and it is real and it will crush the felon or the commie in November.

“Most people are criticized for what they say, not for what they didn’t say.”....

The issue is an old Clinton tactic, the “power of suggestion”. Someone suggests or assumes Trumps ignoring the KKK connection automatically makes him guilty because someone said it. Keep repeating it often enough and sooner or later the power of “RUMOR” (suggestion) causes people to believe it.

I gave up on blacks a long time ago to vote conservative or anything outside the Demonrat plantation. I don’t care who blacks support or what they want based on their skin.

I challenge my readers and members of the Republican Party to name me the last time you saw a Black person actually officially representing the party on TV, newspaper, or radio. When was the last time a Black was empowered to negotiate on behalf of the party an appearance before a Black group like the NAACP or the National Urban League?

Criminy! Michael Steele, former Lt. Governor of Maryland, was made head of the RNC in 2008. He had given a rousing speech at the 2000 convention on behalf of Bush. In 2006, he was running for U.S.Senate here in Maryland and was treated terriblt by other blacks -- they threw Oreos at him at public events. One of my black neighbors stopped speaking to me when I put a Michael Steele campaign sign on my lawn. The loathing of Condoleezza Rice from other blacks was revolting. Blacks take so much crap from their own families, friends and co-ethnics if they step out of line. It's like the Mafia — you can't ever leave.

The GOP would get more mileage out of getting the “media vote” than the “black vote.” Both groups vote for Dems about 90% of the time. Get more of the media to support Repubs and they’ll pull other groups along with them.
