That from ‘Grok friend Jim Hoft. I would think that the Establishment Republicans would be ecstatic over that stat given all of the verbiage they have spilled the last few years on “reaching out to the minority communities”. So, what should one be thinking when we hear that but ALSO now hearing that those same folks are trying to strategize on how to railroad Trump out of the race? Again, I point this out not to bolster Trump but to point out the absolute hypocriticalness of the entrenched Central Command whose strategy of flooding the zone with folks to get their candidate elected (Jeb Bush whose seemingly failing ways are seeing a shift to Kasich?) along with the Papa Smurf Sununu rigged rules for the convention and nomination was supposed to “fix” the result. And then along came Donald Trump, Ben Carson, and Carly Fiorina and a handful of “outside the beltway” Rs to, as I have said from time to time, throw “sand into the gearworks”.
Jim’s analysis?
A SurveyUSA poll released Friday shows that 25% of black respondents said they would vote for Trump over Clinton. According to The American Mirror Trump would more than double the best result for a Republican in modern American history… Looking at the last 10 presidential election cycles, the highest black vote share for a Republican was 12% for Bob Dole in 1996.
Here are a couple of charts that visualize the importance of Trump’s 25% and the impact of what it would do to the Democrats:
Blacks today make up 22% of the Democratic vote. If Democrats lost 25% of the black vote they would lose Virginia, Florida, Ohio and North Carolina.
