"Such as past times when the majority of republicans were happy to support a black candidate to be President. ""Those guys did run. YOu want take a look at their polling vs the dem candidates?"Again, you lie by claiming GOP voters had no problem with it. The exit polls do not reflect party affiliation in support of Powell.LOLLOLLOLSo in other words -- you still can't talk about anyone else other than Powell...the guy you called a traitor for telling the truth about the republican party...Besides you, no one cares what you hope for."Hoping the sitting President is re-elected is not silly."LOLOLLOLThe part where you delude yourself into believing a black man who never ran for president has a chance at being the first black Republican president.Dumbfuck, the thread questioned, "The First Black Republican Presidential Nominee Will Be....."We're used to you being wrong pretty much all the time. And whiny. And tearful.
You say stupid shit like that, not when it is true, but when you are desperate to distract from how little you can say to support your position.
Exit polls are the Gold Standard of political polls. They showed that in 1996, the republican voters, along with a good sized chunk of Reagan Democrats, would have been happy to elect a black Republican President.
This of course, should be a moot historical point, because Powell choose not to run and very few blacks are even in the Republican Party.
But you can't admit it. Because you lib NEED your lie, that the Republican Party is terribly racist.
Because without that, you might have to make the case for your policies, based on their actual merits.
And you know, that you cannot.
You need to be able to cry "racist" and have the be the end of the debate.
Because, you know you can never win an actual, real debate.
That is what this is about. And you being a smug asshole about it, is just you being a smug asshole.
Someone who never ran for that office will NOT be that person.
Jeez, you're one mentally ill patient.
And I, and others pointed out, that the Republican HAVE the Presidency and the Vice Presidency. So it will be awhile before we have openings.
BUT, it is not because we are against the idea in principle. It has just not worked out that way yet.
Which was the point demonstrated by the Powell Exit Polls.
That was all explained. What part of that is too hard for you to understand?
I reject your pretense of you being too stupid to under stand the concept of linear time.
YOu are stupid, I will grant you that, but you are not so fucking profoundly retarded that you are too stupid to understand the concept that he had a very strong chance, at one time in the past.
That is my point. YOu are welcome to disagree with it, and explain why you disagree with it.
YOu are not welcome to pretend to be to stupid to read it and understand it. THAT IS NOT CREDIBLE. STOP FUCKING AROUND.
Dumbfuck, that's not what this thread asked. It didn't ask, which black wasn't nominated by the Republican party -- it asked who will be the first. Powell never ran, so Powell will not be the first. We're still waiting for the first. Maybe that will come in about another hundred years are so. In the meantime, buzz your nurse to come change your drool cup.
Trump is likely to be re-elected in 2020. THat's four more years right there. And Pence will almost certainly be the next candidate, so that's another four years after THAT.
And if he wins, it could be TWELVE years, until the next opening.
AND, actually, 16, because he would run for re-election, and likely lose.
It is pretty silly to try to guess that far ahead.
BUt it is worth noting, that the REASON FOR THE DELAY, IS NOT ONE OF PRINCIPLE, BUT JUST THE WAY IT WORKED OUT, AS DEMONSTRATED BY THE 96 EXIT POLLS.
You're literally making up this shit as you go along. It's not a given Impeached Trump will win this year. Even if he does, who knows if Pence will run in 2024. Going back to Carter, 3 VP's ran in the ensuing election and 3 did not. And even if Pence ran, you don't know that he would win. You also don't know who else might run against him, if that were to happen.
So now you're just inventing silly excuses for why the GOP has never nominated a black candidate.
How sad.
Hoping the sitting President is re-elected is not silly.
It happens a lot.
I would never offer you an "excuse" on ANYTHING. "Excuse" indicates I think that words or reason can effect your hate of anyone who stands in your way. We both know that is not true.
The OP, as admitted by the man that made it, is all about just smearing the GOP as racist.
Which it is not.
As demonstrated by the 96 exit polls, showing that Republican voters were fine with the idea of a Republican Black President.
That is the point of the thread and my refuting it, right there.
That's not what I pointed out was silly. Dayum, you're a fucking moron.
In my world, I am hoping that we republicans don't have an opening for the slot, until, 2032.
I can't predict who will be ready for prime time by then.
But, i can point out, that in the past, as a Party we have been ready for one, if one had been offered. Which if the point of this thread was just vile race baiting, that would refute the point of the thread.
If that is NOT the point of the thread, then my point about the 96 polls is moot, and you guys won't care about it enough to even dispute it.
Cause, it's irrelevant to candidates moving forward. So, why would you carer enough to fight over it?
Meanwhile, here in reality, you could have a black nominee as soon as 2024. But that's not gonna happen because too many conservatives are still too racist.
And your point's been refuted even though it's not relevant to this thread. A poll does not nominate anyone. Anyone can easily say to someone's face taking the poll that the would have voted for Powell had he ran -- but actually voting for him in the secrecy of a ballot box is entirely different.
So, your position is that we can't have a black republican president because too many conservative voters are racist.
I knew that was the point of this thread. All you bs to the contrary, was just bs.
And that is why I keep going back to the documented with scientific polls that the Republican voters of 1996 would have been happy to have elected Powell.
Hell, even Biff has admitted that. Albeit with heavy spin.
Your claims of racism being the bar has been disproved.
Colin Powell - Wikipedia
en.wikipedia.org
"Powell's experience in military matters made him a very popular figure with both American political parties. Many Democrats admired his moderate stance on military matters, while many Republicans saw him as a great asset associated with the successes of past Republican administrations. Put forth as a potential Democratic Vice Presidential nominee in the 1992 U.S. presidential election[43] or even potentially replacing Vice President Dan Quayle as the Republican Vice Presidential nominee,[44] Powell eventually declared himself a Republican and began to campaign for Republican candidates in 1995.[45][46] He was touted as a possible opponent of Bill Clinton in the 1996 U.S. presidential election, possibly capitalizing on a split conservative vote in Iowa[47] and even leading New Hampshire polls for the GOP nomination,[48] but Powell declined, citing a lack of passion for politics.[49] Powell defeated Clinton 50–38 in a hypothetical match-up proposed to voters in the exit polls conducted on Election Day.[50] Despite not standing in the race, Powell won the Republican New Hampshire Vice-Presidential primary on write-in votes "
"Powell was mentioned as a potential candidate in the 2000 U.S. presidential election, but again decided against running.[53] Once Texas Governor George W. Bush secured the Republican nomination, Powell endorsed him for president and spoke at the 2000 Republican National Convention. Bush won the general election and appointed Powell as Secretary of State. "
Can you tell me what was Powell's position on Social Security in 1996??
What about Powell's position on labor protections or Wall street de-regulation??
Bottom line is....Herman Cain ran for president...and he didn't get enough "REPUBLICAN SUPPORT" to win...
Alan Keyes ran for president and he didn't get enough "REPUBLICAN SUPPORT" to win....
Ben Carson ran for president and he didn't get enough "REPUBLICAN SUPPORT" to win....
And with every reiteration of a black "republican" candidate -- the candidates have been more and more minstrel like in their policies -- to the point it wasn't even about their polices, just whether or not they would parrot the talking points that appeases the closet racists.....so those closet racists can point at him and say -- "see, we got a black guy too"
1. Sure I can. And already have. And his complaints were not the truth. They were bullshit.
2. I don't recall Powell's positions on this issues from back then. As he was not running, I don't recall him publishing many position papers.
3. Herman Cain was dogpiled by the vile media, and his base, the Religious Right, in my opinion, were fools to give their bullshit accusations a shred of credibility.
4. Alan Keyes was set up by the Country Club Establishment Republicans who found him too conservative for their tastes.
5. Carson was just too nice, during a period of time, when that is seen as weakness. Be that as it may, if he had won the primaries, he would have happily gotten my vote.
6. Your perception of how we republicans view our candidates is just you assuming bad shit about people you don't like. My friends who were big Powell supporters, really liked his military background. I really liked the way Cain dumped on the vile media, one of the things I like about Trump today. Keyes? Don'tn know any big Keyes partisans.
7.ALL YOU HAVE IS RACE BAITING.
And you still have no black candidate for the GOP on the horizon.
Plenty of lame excuses though.
Never think that I am giving YOU an excuse.
"Excuse" implies that I think that reason or facts could influence or even lessen your hate.
We both know that that is not true.
NOthign I can say or do, or anyone can say or do, will ever sway your hate or bullshit positions one inch.
You are driven by ideology and hate and who knows what else. Not facts or reason.
Dumbfuck ... you still have no black Republican candidates. And given the level of racism on the right, you probably won't see one in your lifetime.
And that is why I keep mentioning the 96 exit polls. They disprove the real point to this thread.
Whatever the various reasons for the lack of black Republican Presidents, the 96 exit polls prove that republican racism is not one of them.
EVERY TIME you make the claim that the reason for the lack is republican "Racism", I will point out that the 96 exit polls prove you are a filthy liar.
No, you keep mentioning the '96 exit polls because you're an idiot. Again -- those polls don't break down that question by party affiliation; rendering it impossible to determine how many of those who said they would have voted for Powell were Republicans. 23% of Clinton voters said they would have voted for Powell, along with 39% of Perot voters. Not to mention, not every Dole voter was a Republican.
And again, that involves saying you'd vote for someone who wasn't even running. That bears little reflection on how they would have actually voted.
Even worse for your nonsense -- there's no evidence Powell would have beaten Dole in the primaries. Polls showed them tied in a dead heat when Powell's name was tossed in.
It is possible that Powell, inexperienced as he was, would have sucked at campaigning and lost to Dole in an actual campaign.
That factor is unknown.
BUT, your position is that GOP racism is the problem. Powell's campaign ability might have been a mystery, but his race was not, and GOP voters had no problem with it.
SO, your claim of racism, being the reason for the lack of black republican Presidents, is refuted.
Why is it so important to you, the idea that Powell could not have won? Is your world view so fragile, that a black presidential candidate destroys it?
The GOP can't find an actual single black candidate they can support for president.
As I have repeatedly pointed out, the exit polls were not the only polls, just the Gold Standard.
Funny, how you have to keep ignoring information I already gave you, to make your argument.
Almost like, your position is completely at odds with reality.
The 96 polls showed that we had at least one, we could have supported.
And I'm pretty sure that if they had won the primaries, the party would have dealt with Cain, or Keyes, or even Carson.
YOu keep making a big deal over the fact that POwell choose not to run.
Those guys did run. YOu want take a look at their polling vs the dem candidates?
I bet it is not the republicans that would have been the margin of victory, but the independents.
LOLOLOL
The thread topic is: "The First Black Republican Presidential Nominee Will Be....."
None of those candidates won the GOP nominee for president. Not one.
You're literally trying to argue something this thread is not about to make a point that ALL black GOP candidates are losers because they can't get the support of their party.
It is historical fact that there has not yet been a black REpublican President. Indeed there has only been ONE black president in American history.
We know that.
BUT, everytime you say something silly, like blaming gop racism for this, that invites me to respond by pointing out historical facts that refute that.
Such as past times when the majority of republicans were happy to support a black candidate to be President.
1996 is one very good example.
Would you like to look at other possible examples? Or are you just here to be a troll?
You've yet to prove that.
