I suspicion he might even hit 25%.

That is going to make heads explode

It would be critical if he hits those numbers in PA, VA & MI....if he gets 15-17% of blacks there he wins all 3 states.

Disagree. Trump will tie or possibly exceed Reagan’s 14%, but no Republican since JFK has broken 20%. BTW, at 14% Trump wins a landslide.

I think Trump could easily get to 25% or more PROVIDED he makes it clear what he offers, and contrasts it with the Democrat nominee. Specifically he needs to explain that many of the American jobs that he’ll create (such as through oil drilling) or he’ll bring back (with better trade deals) means millions of WELL PAYING jobs for blacks.

What’s the Democrat response? Increase welfare spending? Single Payer? He’ll nail them down if he does that and the race card will be MUCH LESS EFFECTIVE.

For a number of odd reasons related to group psychology, I think Trump either gets 8-12% or gets 25 to 30% of the Black Vote, and I do not think that he would get in between those ranges. Mostly it is rated to does the group identity hold.

That is the result of collectivism and leftism in the mostly black neighborhoods, I fail to see how defending Clinton who wants to give mass amnesty to Illegals will help places like Chicago, it is not PC but its the truth.
