If this would only translate into black votes.......but it won’t.......
It could, but something is first going to have to pierce the illiberal “liberal” spell.
That’s very possible with the way Donald gets illiberal “liberals” to trip and fall over their hateful lies.
Hope springs eternal ... the logic is there!
It doesn’t have to.It only has to translate into low black vote totals for Democrats to benefit Republicans dramatically.
Hey—sometimes ya gotta walk before you can run.
You are right... and wrong.
You are wrong because of people with your attitude. We write off the Black vote. They resent being written off. They vote accordingly. Furthermore, those (of the same economic/education level) who do not vote are far more conservative than those who do vote. But those who don’t vote feel that they have nobody to vote for. The Democrats have the wrong policy and the Republicans write them off.
A working class Chicago burb voted 55% Democrat. I estimate 95% of the Blacks voted Democrat. Blacks were about 20% of the voters. I worked the area door-to-door. The next election was a 3-way race between a Democrat-teachers union slate, the incumbent slate, a RINO-corrupt governor’s slate, and a conservative anti-corruption, low tax slate.
In the 3-way race, my anti-RINO slate got 65% of the vote, about 30% of the Black vote. I left the suburb and turned it over to the Black pastor’s wife. In a 2-way slate with the RINOs and teachers union Democrats running a joint slate, the Black pastor’s wife got 87% of the total vote, and my guess is it included 87% of the Black vote.
Both she and I got 100% of the Hispanic vote. The area had far more Hispanics than Blacks. Where she and I both lost was with divorced and promiscuous women who were the most reliable Democrat voters in that suburb.
We can get much more of both the Hispanic and Black vote. But it takes a couple things. Don’t write them off. Let them know that they are not being written off. Bypass the media. Talk to them personally.
I moved to Atlanta GA which recently had an election for mayor. Heavily Black precincts that went 95%+ for Clinton went 55% and 60% for the white Republican candidate for mayor against the Black Democrat candidate for mayor. The Black candidate made Democrat v Republican as the major issue and choice in the election...and Black precincts went for the Republican.
The Republican lost because 51% of white Republicans in the Republican NW part of Atlanta sat home and did not come out and vote while for the city as a whole 56% of those who voted in Nov 2016 also voted in the mayoral election.
Getting your voters to the polls is the way to win.
