If Huckabee were the GOP nominee, 90% plus blacks would vote for the Democrat.
Like I said don't waste time or money on the black vote. We will get the ones worth getting.
Christie got over 20% of the black vote against a Democratic candidate, and indeed his campaign alleges that they might have received around 40% of the young black male vote.
Elizabeth Todd Whitman won 35% of the black vote running for NJ governor. Mike Bloomberg running as a GOP candidate in 2005 won many black precincts against a Democratic candidate. He actually won the middle class black vote.
If a GOP candidate does outreach to blacks, LISTENS to them, and includes some of their interests in his campaign HE MIGHT ACTUALLY WIN MANY BLACK VOTES.
But if he calls them lazy and stupid, and the right wing elements in the GOP tend to they will LOSE the black vote...and the Jewish vote......and the Hispanic vote.....and the Asian vote.....and young college educated WHITE vote......and the highly educated WHITE SUBURBAN vote. In other words the MAJORITY of the population.
This is why a very weakened Obama beat Romney in 2012.
This is a message board. I didn't start the topic. You won't find me talking about it in normal conversation. I avoid talking politics with my black friends. No need to have them thinking I am a racist when they learn I'm a Republican.
No they will think that you are a racist if you say racist things.

Obama beat Romney because too many conservatives stayed home. It had nothing to do with young blacks.
You misunderstand. My resentment is towards anyone who votes for Democrats, not just blacks who do.
But you talk about Blacks more than anyone else. If you firmly believe Blacks won't ever stop voting Democrat, then talking about it is useless. This is the way I see it. Who a person votes for is none of your business. My vote is my business. Why should I be worried about what you think of my voting choices?
And furthermore, if you are having so much issue with who people vote for, what do you plan to do abou it?
