Donald Trump has a history of "othering" black people and the Trump Corporations history of housing discrimination against blacks does not help.
Another question that we (yes, I am black) have is why didn't Trump make an effort to hire blacks BEFORE he ran for office. When it is well within his power to employ Americans by manufacturing his own products in the United States, why are ALL of his (and Ivanka's and Melania's) products made overseas and imported into the US. If they care so much about JOBS, wouldn't it make sense for them to walk the talk?
Not to mention that Trump talks as if ALL black people live in war torn ghettos and that insinuation is extremely offensive. Also he stated "your" schools and "your" neighborhoods as is if black people are a part of another country or something. Trump did not reach out to black Americans at all. And on top of all of the above, black people do not like Trump because his rallies are full of people who literally hate us. He has a LARGE following of w hite s upremacists and w hite n ationalists and his rallies remind us of Klan rallies.
Trump's message is Dem policies have failed the inner city AA communities for decades. Why not give me a chance. So, yes 15-25% of the AA vote certainly is feasible this election.
"Your" schools, "your" neighborhoods, the race card don't fly that easy. Trump is correct. Many AA communities are a complete mess so when he says he can help create jobs and school choice people listen.
If you choose to believe Trump rallies are filled with people who literally hate black folks then there`s not much I can say except believe what you want. However, that doesn`t make it correct.
White supremacist groups? If you actually think a Trump presidency will bring such groups into the forefront of society than so be it. Sort of like Bill Maher the other day predicting if Trump wins he will run the country like a fascist dictator.
It`s all nonsense. You know the left is in serious trouble when all they start bring up the KGB, white supremacists and fascism.
Saw Michael Moore was on TV yesterday saying the stock market will crash with a Trump victory and everybody needs to get out now.
It`s all coming down on the libs and they simply can't handle it.

Trump offered zero solutions. No plans. Nothing. Just "Trust me. It'll be great. You'll love it. Its yuuuuge"
By the way, based on your post I can say that you (just like Trump) also don't get just how much middle and upper middle class blacks (aka the majority of black voters) were turned off by Trump's "othering" of black Americans and referring to a lone black supporter at one of his rallies as "MY African American" as if that guy were his faithful buck Jethro.
The LAST person that black Americans would vote to put in the White House is a rich Archie Bunker
ETA: Why do the Trump supporters NEVER have an answer to why Trump does not manufacture his merchandise in the US? And if he is such a jobs creator then why doesn't he put Americans to work making his ties, his suits, Ivanka's shoes, Melania's jewelry....? Why is NONE of their merchandise Made in the USA??? Shouldn't he lead by example?

I`m sure HC will receive a majority of the upper middle class AA vote.
Trump is basically targeting the middle/lower income black voter who like many other this year don`t see him as a typical Republican politician or any politician for that matter.
So, yes 15-25% AA vote for Trump is certainly possibly and something which will be discussed long after this election is over.

I don`t know. Probably more profitable for his business. Look, I really don`t give a damn. I don`t want more of the same. I voted for O in 08 and he turned out to be very disappointing.
Now, I`m willing to give Trump a shot.
Then there is the USSC. I don`t want the court moving to the left.
I`m sure HC will receive a majority of the upper middle class AA vote.

Trump is viewed as worse than the average Republican candidate. A candidate like John Kasich would have received a larger percentage of the black vote than Romney and definitely more than Trump will receive.

That`s nonsense.
There`s no way Kasich, Cruz or Bush would get much more than 5-6%.

If Trump attempted to manufacture his clothing in the US he would be out of business. The way the laws and trade deals are set up make it impossible for a company to manufacture many products in the US and still be successful. So when he changes the law he will have to pay the tariffs just like everyone else unless he moves production to US. You think the Dems are going to let him be the only one manufacturing overseas and not paying tariffs.
He has enough money and success. He wants to give back to the country now and him losing money by shutting down globalism doesn't matter to him. That's why so many people like him - unlike Hillary he is looking out for the American worker, not himself.
I heard it was one of the die-hard republicans that don't want to vote for him and can't vote Hillary.
The Clinton camp is the one with the revealed history of inciting violence at Trump events.
