That spells doom for the Dims. If Trump gets 15% of the black vote the Dims haven't got a chance.
The First Black President: Twice as Many Voters Say TRUMP Better for Blacks Than Barack Obama
33% of likely voters say President Trump has made life better for African Americans. When Obama left office in 2099 only 13% of likely voters said he made life better for African Americans. This is not the first time Trump has seen his numbers climb among African Americans. A VoterLabs poll in May found that 29% of female African Americans approve of President’s Trump.

Different people respond to different leadership differently.
For every person who was so inspired by Obama, they started VOTING for the first time and paying attention to
govt and policies and how they have ability to participate and influence,
this was a HUGE FIRST STEP.
That can't be compared to conservative Black leaders who have been fighting a DIFFERENT battle,
and now Trump is making it safe to come out and speak for the first time without apology,
even if it means getting slammed for it. That's a HUGE CHANGE also.
Different groups are in different stages,
so what is progress to some looks the opposite to others!
Let each one move forward on their own path and let's
HELP EACH OTHER to get to a BETTER PLACE.
Let's not judge if some are farther behind,
or if they take different approaches. All people
need to take OWNERSHIP which means they define
their process DIFFERENTLY and relate to different models.
Why not ask Black leaders from conservative backgrounds and business/financial mgmt experience to MENTOR and partner up with Black leaders and members who are currently depending on govt.
Why can't we ENCOURAGE Black leadership in community building TOGETHER
instead of abusing politics of race, party and economic class to divide and oppress.
We all agree the Black community deserves better than the mess we're seeing now.
Why not encourage, reward and invite greater mentorship and participation in building
sustainable relations and economic solutions that EMPOWER leadership in these affected communities?
