“Donald Trump has been disciplined and mature. And I think he’s going to get this thing back on track,” Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.
He’s gone three days without an implosion. A new Trump Record.
“In the past week, he has taken his message to black voters in majority-white cities including Fredericksburg, West Bend, Wisconsin and Dimondale, Michigan.”
Correction: In the past week, Trump took his racist generalizations about the blacks to overwhelmingly white audiences in overwhelmingly white towns.
new outreach:
a bucket of KFC on every table and and a watermelon for dessert…
The media will be more than pleased to help Drumpf with his fake “pivot”. Todd, Blitzer, and Mitchell will probably do cartwheels. And notice they won’t refer to it as his “flip-flop”, which is a term they only use when referring to Democrats, per GOP instructions.And the media will also conveniently ignore Drumpf’s endorsements from Neo-Nazi and KKK groups.
Why, he could double or triple his performance with black voters! Hello 2%.
That ship has sailed. Decades ago. The GOP made a cynical but correct calculus that being covertly and overtly racist is a good way to get the white vote out. That will take decades to undo, but the GOP will likely be gone by then.
Donnie, if you truly sincere about reaching the black vote, how about you actually bother to give a speech in front of black people. Just a thought
Of course he could do better–for example next time the Urban League or the NAACP asks him to speak, he could say, “yes”.
The disconnect between Trumps words and his actions is greater than the distance between Sarah Palin and particle physics.
“The GOP is the party of Abraham Lincoln and I want our party to be the home of the African-American voter once again,” Trump said in Virginia on Saturday, to cheers from an overwhelmingly white crowd.
It’s fairly simple, Donald. Just reverse Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” of the late 1960s and early 1970s. When you invite all the racists and bigots to join your party, you end up with a party of racist bigots. If you want to appeal to racial and ethnic minorities you have to get rid of the racist bigots. You have to decide which is more important to your party, appealing to minorities or appealing to white supremacists and white nationalists. You can either have the backing of Stormfront, the American Nazi Party, and the Ku Klux Klan or you can have the African American vote, the Hispanic vote, and the Jewish vote. You can’t have both at the same time. How you go about this is up to you, but just saying “I want blacks to vote for me” or “I love Hispanics” isn’t going to do it.
Also aa haven’t forgotten that Donnie started this birther crap about obama
Having the most obnoxious, rabid racist in the country Rudy Giuliani as a spokesperson is not helping, and that’s only one thing… The whole attempt is pathetic. Black people will never vote for Trump in any numbers that make a diffidence.
Donnie, if you want the minority vote, you could attack your party’s plans to suppress them
Just a thought
Yep. They’ve already done Trump the favor of completely ignoring how he made himself the king of the racists-trying-to-delegitimize-Obama’s-Presidency back in 2011.
(And now he’s trying to pre-delegitimize Hillary. How soon till the Misogonald makes his without-irony declaration that the GOP needs to do much better at attracting women voters, and that he’ll magically get the proportion of their support into the high 90s?)
Edit: corrected the year that Trump became king of the birthers.
With Drumpf at the wheel that’ll never, ever happen.
Fucking losers.
[quote=“Donald Trump, post:1, topic:42335”]
In recent days, across this country, I’ve asked the African-American community to honor me with their vote,[/quote]
At rallies white enough to pass for a Klan meeting.
“What have you got to lose?” is about as effective a slogan as “Don’t change horses in mid-stream.”
The first cable channel or newspaper that gives this disingenuous crap legitimacy should be shoved off the airways. Btw, Fredericksbug is primarily Democratic. Why he went there, is still puzzling. What a waste. The sick bastard wants people to “honor him” like he’s fucking Caligula.
“Get 'em outta here, get 'em outta here”, that’s what I hear now that he’s pulling this shit. This is no pivot…Its more like he’s beginning to spin out of control. What he’s doing is desperation to squeeze another percentage point from a bunch ignorant white folks that don’t want to think of themselves as racist assholes like him. That white supremacy shit he’s been using and tossing around for a year, doesn’t wipe off so easily now that he needs minority voters or a percentage point more on his numbers for support…and frankly, he’s reached all the peak white voters he’s likely to get. There’s only so many that fall for his nonsense. He’s already got the racist vote.
Oh…and good morning everyone. Another day of tRump bullshit to wake up to, and the coffee hasn’t even finished running through the machine yet. I’m not sure I can handle another full day of more tRump bullshit. I so wish this election was over.
To be fair I don’t think he started it, but he certainly is a preeminent birther. You wouldn’t believe what his investigators found!
ThE blaCk should Honor trUmp by throwing Flowers And CHeering harder. OtherwIse trUmp woNt make the Ghetto grate again.
