A bar bet on Trump’s appeal to African-Americans(Says Trump can reach 20% of black voters)
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | May 28, 2016 | Jim Galloway

If you had a decent history teacher in high school, you were taught that European democracies are slightly different from those in the Americas, both north and south.

Democracies in this Western Hemisphere tend to be ethnic stews governed, with varying degrees of faithfulness, by constitutions and compacts. European democracies are built around nationalities — tribes of same-language peoples.

A President Donald Trump and his “great again” appeals would push us closer toward the European model than we already are, his critics contend. If they’re right, a heightened season of racial tension could be in our Southern future. Some of those we have placed in charge of our consciences have already begun to stir.

Citing a “waiting reservoir … of inherent racism” tapped by Trump, former President Jimmy Carter this week announced a September gathering in Atlanta aimed at ending segregation among many Baptist congregations....

He’ll do better than that. 25-30% plus 35% of other dems and 70% Republicans and 55% of indies.

A note to consider.....POTUS Barack Hussein Obama, The CBC, the NAACP & the Democrat Party, has made the plight of African-Americans worse then it has ever been......and, a good number of African-Americans know it!!! Look for Donald J. Trump to get between 20-30% of the African-American vote. And, with either 20 or 30%....DJT wins the POTUS in a massive lanslide!!! End of story!!!

It seems to me that you’re saying this, Galloway, that you are “his critics”, since you haven’t named anyone saying this. And how convenient you ignore the last 7+ years of Obama, with the numerous episodes of racist actions by him and his Administration. The trash talk about the police officer that led to the beer summit, the lack of prosecution of election suppression by Black Panther types, the ridiculous statements during the Zimmerman, Brown, and Gray cases, the support of #BLM foolishness and rioting, the list goes on and on.

No, Jim Galloway, we see right through your “his critics” nonsense, and see you for a partisan shill, absent articles calling out Obama on these matters. Which I don’t think you can do.

>>Citing a “waiting reservoir … of inherent racism” tapped by Trump, former President Jimmy Carter this week announced a September gathering in Atlanta aimed at ending segregation among many Baptist congregations....

Jimmy Carter needs to STHU and stick to Habitat. He has supported numerous nasty dictators in his post-Presidential years, and we really don’t need him trying to tell us how to morally act.

I’ll take 15-17% which is where I think he tops out.

I agree that Trump could get 25% to 35% of black voters. One factor to consider is that a lot of those blacks who only went to the polls because Obama pretends he's black won't go to the polls for hillary.

Want to scare Obama voters into voting for Trump? Explain to them that if hillary wins, she gets to define Obama's presidency and blame him for all the stuff that went wrong.

Of course, this MSNBC propaganda spewer seems to think that there aren’t many “African American” supporters of Trump after the man at the Trump rally speaks in this clip ...

(P.S. I put “African American” in quotes since I am sick and tired of implied segregation, for political purposes, imposed by Democratic Party political correctness guidelines.)

Blacks are traditionally Dems but after Obama, I think many have realized they have been used...to further Obama’s ambitions...not to help them in any way.

This signifies that at least 20% of Blacks buy in to THE Donald’s ‘JOBS, JOBS, JOBS’ program (by building that damn wall).

I find that highly Unlikely.

What I also find so strange, is, why is any presidential candidate chasing this insignificant percentage of Voters, oh yea, Trannys too.

Whats up with this?

Because of how they’re geographically distributed, I would imagine.

You are so correct Sir. And strategically located in SWING Cities/STATES.

In another world/dimension where Lincoln wasn't assassinated this problem was resolved once and for ALL.

20% of black voters

Is that perhaps the same number as are married with children??

That’d say something significant....

Under 13% of the population, roughly 50% Male, 25% of the Male population is on Parole or Probation and can’t VOTE, except in Virginia. How SIGNIFICANT are the ACTUAL VOTES.

Jeez, it’s bordering the Gay/tranny Vote in ACTUAL percentages, people that show up.

* not counting FRAUD and DEAD People.

Probably more important than the number of blacks who actually vote for Trump is the number who might simply stay home altogether because ancient, corrupt, rich, white crone Crooked Hillary does not have the same racist appeal that black Obama did.

Maybe Trump doesn’t see a major increase over recent GOP candidates. Maybe they just stay home. That works too.

“I’ll take 15-17% which is where I think he tops out.”

That is what I am thinking which would still be very good.
