Were blacks rejected at the door? Are blacks not allowed at rallies? Trying to hand select a crowd is sleazy. It's like the dems thinking "for better optics we need an audience of 20% blacks and 15% Hispanics standing behind Hillary...throw in a few gays and a trans too".

As Trump said, blacks are individuals and individuals are capable of making up their own minds. You don't need to herd all the blacks together in order to speak to a black person.

Well, if Trump really wanted to do effective outreach to African Americans, it would make more sense for him to go to an area or venue where there are more black people. Such as a Black church. Hold it in Milwaukee.

The fact that he held it in a place and audience that is 95% white probably shows that he's not really serious about reaching out to black voters, but is instead trying to demonstrate to white folks that he isn't bigoted or racist.

That's Donald. All show, no go.

Oh, please. He goes into an area that is almost completely white and then talks about blacks. But when the black community invites him to come and talk to them, he refuses. Why? Because he'd rather talk about blacks than to blacks.

Can you give me another reason why he refuses invitations to speak directly to black people, when they are asking for him to come and talk to them? They want to hear him speak directly to them, but he will only talk about them to white audiences. You can't spin that away no matter how hard you try.

I find these Trump nation folks to be beyond delusional. The closer we get to the election the crazy the become. It's actually kind of scary. Watching these Trump supporters on TV is even more funny. One guy just ask the interviewer what makes her think Trump is losing. When she said every poll, he said okay go ahead and ask your question. These folks are DELUSIONAL!

The % of the black vote Trump gets will be one of the big surprises and another reason he wins come election night.
That's not consistent with historical trends going back a couple of decades. Bush, Romney who are less polarizing than Trump got around 10% or less. Given Trump's past record with housing discrimination, his public excoriation of the Central Park Five, and other unflattering remarks towards African Americans, it is highly unlikely he will exceed 10% of the African American vote nationally.

Hillary and her owners placed Seddique Mateen in her backdrop two weeks ago, to punk Democratic voters.

The rituals call for balance.

Actually, you should be able to give the same speech in a cornfield in Iowa (especially with today's media coverage). As I said, black individuals don't have to be herded together in order to make a speech about issues the affect them. That's called pandering.

It takes a certain kind of racist to think "gee, better not say I want to say here because we took a head count and there's not enough black people".

Is Hillary not allowed to make comments that address black issues while couped up in her million dollar mansion in a snow white 'hood?

2.5-3.5 usually. Trumps well outside the MOE if that is what you are getting at.
