I would suggest that between one and two million folks who did vote Hillary in 2016....walked away and are now GOP/Trump voters.
Democrats claim that blacks have to be Democrats - but in fact, blacks haven’t had this good an economic/jobs condition in . . . well, ever.

Four years of that could easily produce more than a 15% black vote for Trump in ’20. That by itself might beat the Democrats that year.

And if Trump could sustain that kind of performance through 2024 - and deliver more than a 20% black vote for Pence in ’24 - we are talking re-alignment.

Recognize, at the same time, that this isn’t your father’s Republican Party - basically, it has been taken over by Ross Perot’s Reform Party. And that is not the first time the party has been transformed in my lifetime: up to the Ford Administration it stayed in the wilderness for 40 years with what Jack Kemp called “root canal economics.” That was the idea that the budget had to be balanced - and if the Democrats raised spending, the Republicans would help raise tax rates "to balance the budget and prevent inflation” (not that that ever worked; the Democrats could always spend more money to buy votes and keep the Republicans looking like The Grinch Who Stole Christmas).
