Trump's 'African-American' says he isn't a supporter

Of course he was there listening only. No self respecting black person would vote for Adolf Trumpler

Glad he acknowledged he only has one black supporter instead of pretending he has millions

He does have millions. He's polling in the 10% - 25% range among African-Americans (depending on the poll). Let's say he gets a post-1964 Republican average of 12ish %. That's over a million.

For context, Redding, CA is a small town where 1.2% of the population of the population is black. I wouldn't really expect a massive African-American turnout.

The fact that no one is commenting on the incident he referred to in this context however, is quite astonishing to me.

The only person who has ever worn a KKK outfit to a Trump rally was a white liberal protester. He ended up being punched in the face by a black Trump supporter.

Yet, headlines at the time typically read "white racists at Trump rallies!!"

Yes, I've acknowledged he has a grave following amongst the uneducated. So those uneducated black people so think he'll really get them a job. They're too stupid to realize we've always been ignored and will continue to be ignored. Mostly nobody does nor care about us political wise.

It's funny you are praising this black guy for punching someone because he supports Trump.

If this was because his life was in danger or anything else he'd be called a thug, not word, his rat by many.

Man, that's a total buzzkill. LOL

I guess the search for the One is still on. I'm sure someone will turn up by November.

I really don't like separating people into groups by their race. That's one of the main reasons I no longer call myself a liberal. I was on board when liberals talked seriously about socioeconomic differences, rather than pandering to people as monolithic groups based on their skin color. I have far more in common politically with a middle class black family, than I do with a West Virginian coal miner or a white billionaire.

I am not praising the guy for punching anyone. And I used to think the 'left-wing media' narrative was pretty damn close to conspiratorial. Which is why find it almost creepy to realize that we do have a media so hellbent on portraying a certain narrative that they willfully ignore any suggestion to the contrary.

I know it makes a good meme.

But if we assume that 60% of the 42 million African-Americans show up to vote in November, and that they vote for Trump on the lower end - 12% for Trump (polls suggest 10% - 25%).

That's 3 million.

I'm at work, can't watch the video. I don't agree with pandering either. None the less, we know the 2 groups of people who are seen the lowest in this country are poor white people and black people. No matter how successful black people become we are still seen as an unworthy group by many. Politicians tap into the frustration of black people with chocolates, roses and promises they don't intend to keep.

Truth is, if we'd all just see each other as Americans are country can equally rise and be powerful as a real united states. However, people who want to be privileged, seen as above others someone, do not fair well with the idea of having equals amongst themselves. These are people who keep the divide

10 to 25 % never happened

Fox News, Feb. 15-17: Trump’s support among blacks was 10 percent. That’s within the margin of error, which was plus or minus 9 points.

USA Today/Suffolk, Feb. 11-15: Trump got 7 percent. The poll provided no margin of error. However, it noted: “Error margins increase for smaller subgroups.”

Quinnipiac University, Feb. 10-15: This poll showed Trump’s level of support at 12 percent— the highest level of any poll taken in February. However, it was in line with what other Republican candidates received in that poll: Ohio Gov. John Kasich, 18 percent; Sen. Ted Cruz, 16 percent; and Sen. Marco Rubio, 11 percent. The margin of error is plus or minus 10.39 percentage points.

Morning Consult, Feb. 3-7: Trump received 11 percent. The poll did not provide any margin of error information.

Public Policy Polling, Feb. 2-3: Trump received 4 percent, and, again, there was no margin of error given.

Quinnipiac University, Feb. 2-4: Trump received 10 percent, and the margin of error was plus or minus 9.75 percentage points.

The second part of Trump’s claim — that “Republicans usually get about 4 percent or 5 percent” in presidential elections — is misleading.

In the 2008 and 2012 elections, the Republican candidates received 4 percent and 6 percent, respectively, according to the nonpartisan Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. But the center noted that the level of black support for Republican presidential candidates “nose-dived” in those years because of Obama, even though support for the Republican Party remained largely unchanged.

25% will never happen. That was one poll. Likely statistical noise.

Which is why I assumed 12% above - The Republican average or so since 1964.

So from FactCheck's February assortment of polls, if we take out the ones with no MoE (no point in using polls with +/-10 people), the average is 10.75%.

That's 2.7 million.

Even if he could get that number, let's not forget, it's amongst the uneducated. Which more than likely equals an area where the voting polls were closed, the dmv and those people can't get registered to vote. Republicans kicked themselves on that one.

Let's not forget, you're making a big deal out of this but the Republicans don't want the black votes. They could care less and have made this known.
