"I am wondering who the blacks are voting for?' Why?


We HAVE to get off this "identity" train.

BIDEN for the win folks...come on now..
Yeh.."you aint black if you dont vote for me!" said Joe ... "if you were lucky enough to escape being imprisoned by my 1994 crime bill" which placed so many blacks in prison for minor drug offenses.

Blacks know that Trump; passed prison reform, helped black colleges, created enterprise zones for inner cities, and they know he's NOT a racist because blacks have spoke out on his behalf...like Herschel Walker.

The race card has been torn up by Donald Trump's decades long fair treatment of blacks.

Time to find a new ploy, because the race card now makes anyone who lays it down, look like a Joker.

The Dems had 50+ years to fix our inner cities, and they have failed blacks miserably. Its now time to be held accountable.

Trump will significantly increase his black vote, the latino vote, and other minorities. Minorities could be the primary cause of a Trump victory. That would be glorious.

in full turnout, the 25% of black people who define themselves as Republican or Conservatives would absolutely turnout. Same with Jewish people, which is near 40%

That being said, the percentage of the vote still wouldnt match that entirely.

Closer to 88-12
and 75-25

I havent seen a single poll that shows flipped votes(some polls actually ask that outright), so if trump wins a larger share of the black vote, then he is actually losing by more because of high turnout.

Think of it like 2018 House elections.

Republicans actually did better with the black vote vs 2016 but lost overall by more pure votes.

I agree. To those who say that there is no reason why he would get more of the black vote now than in 2016, have you noticed all of the young black people speaking up for Trump and running for office as Republicans? This is a new phenomenon, it didn't happen in 2016, it has never happened in my lifetime, and I was born in the late '60s. Add to that that this "defund the police" insanity is going to hit blacks very, very hard if implemented, and I think you may be in for a surprise. Black people are like anyone else, they want to feel safe and like someone will actually show up if they call 911.

I don't think he will get double what he got in 2016, but I think that the Dems will be sadly surprised after the fact that he will definitely increase his percentage this time around.

Being as he is such a great ally to Israel, has negotiated peace between Israel and other Middle Eastern nations for the first time ever, and has immediate family who are Jewish, even Jewish grandkids, it would be bizarre if he didn't get more of the Jewish vote this time around. People didn't know all of this would happen back in 2016, it's a game changer.

It will be interesting!

Not necessarily, I suspect that some proven Black Republicans such as Colin Powell, Tim Scott, Condoleeza Rice, or Ben Carson would be well received and supported by their party.

"The blacks" are obviously voting for Biden. Trump got 8% of the black vote in 2016. Whether that goes up or down this year, I don't know.....but no matter what, the vast majority of black people are voting for Biden.

Oh yes, black people are so overwhelmingly powerful in America. We've had many, many black presidents, there are tons of black senators, and tons of Fortune 500 CEOs are black.

Black Presidents: 1
Black Senators (currently): 3
Black Fortune 500 CEOs: 3
