her campaign DIDN'T seize on the opportunity to 'debunk' his statements that the Dem party takes the black vote for granted and that NOTHING that she and BO have done over the last 8 years has helped blacks in their communities?

I guess that segment of the population hates the Reps as much as you hate the Dems.

You can't tell them anything and they can't tell you anything.

There is no justice.

They don't hate Reps, JP
Aug 19, 2016 7:25AM PDT

they've just been brainwashed for so many years by the Dems and their 'freebie' promises that they support that party more often and in larger numbers. Did you know that Milwaukee, a place full of horrible living conditions has not had a Republican mayor since 1908? Did you know that the ten poorest cities all have one thing in common.....Democrat leadership.....and that some in that list have NEVER had a Republican mayor?

I didn't say that either, JP......

I said "they don't hate the Reps".....they just have gotten so used to being under Dem control they don't know any other way. But they'll figure it out, sooner or later....may this will be the year since Trump is point out all the Dem flaws with their communities. Unfortunately, every time a black actually comes forward and says they are Conservative Republicans, they are called "Uncle Toms" or a 'disgrace to their race' or 'sellouts', etc. by the liberal press/media and it carries over to other blacks to chant the same crap. It's even worse for Conservative Republican black women.....

Well here's some more news for TheRUMP

Trump losing support among white men, who are critical to his chances of success

Donald Trump’s support among white men, the linchpin of his presidential campaign, is showing surprising signs of weakness that could foreclose his only remaining path to victory in November.

If not reversed, the trend could materialize into one of the most unanticipated developments of the 2016 presidential campaign: That Hillary Clinton, the first woman at the head a major party ticket and a divisive figure unpopular with many men, ends up narrowing the gender gap that has been a constant of American presidential elections for decades.

Old poll showing that since
Aug 20, 2016 3:52AM PDT

we now have to wait to see after this week's speeches, being given great reviews even by liberals, and his ads are just now coming out. Plus there are new polls showing he has 15+% of the black vote now but liberals still say publicly that he has less than 1%.

The polls really don't get 'real' until after Labor Day here so we still have a few weeks to go before getting serious about those numbers.

YOU claimed Plus there are new polls showing he has 15+% of the black vote

Got a "link" that backs up your 'new poll" claim...

I provided a link (an OLD link) that shows 15% backing...

got a NEW poll? AND a link to that "new poll"?

Do you consider a poll from May, NEW?...I don't
