Is Trump Picking Up Black Voters?

All polls indicate that the answer is yes. The question is how many.

CBS News correspondent Nikole Killion interview Azad Ahmad and his girlfriend Alexandra, both of whom voted for Obama in 2012, but both of whom are voting for Trump this year.

  • Alexandra: “My views on certain things have changed.”
  • Alexandra: “Being in a pattern of doing the same thing that I’ve been doing because it’s kind of like second nature. When you go in in a poll, you hit Democrat. Something has to happen. I mean, it’s just so expensive to survive, and we’re planning on having kids. I don’t want to live in a stressful environment, trying to rub two pennies together to try to make it.”
  • Azad: “Post-Obama, I decided that the [Democratic] party just wasn’t suitable to the goals that I had.”
  • Another black voter: “I think president Trump was a bad people’s person, but a great leader. He put our economy in a booming state. He provided a permanent funding for all HBCU.”
  • Despite salting her interviewees with Democrats reciting talking points, a lot of real frustration with Biden and the Democratic Party seeps through.

    I notice, however, that everyone she interviewed was college educated. It woud be interesting to poll blacks worker blue collar jobs. I suspect the support for Trump would be even higher…

      No idea where it ends, but the way I see it, this is a year for “trend lines” to do strange things. I don’t think they’re going to let Trump win, but I also don’t see how the hell that’s going to work, unless they get either really creative or they absolutely break the system. On the other hand… Maybe Trump is the fake-ass stalking horse I’ve been afraid he was, all along, and this is all just so much play-acting for the rubes. I do know that he’d better be better prepared this time than he was in 2017… Also, nowhere near as trusting of the establishment RINO class.

      Honestly, I wouldn’t venture to make a single prediction for the year, other than “Sheer ‘effing chaos…”

      The pivotal event will be the Democratic National Convention in Chicago starting on August 19th. Will it be a replay of August 28, 1968 in Chicago?

      If today’s Hamas Democrats disrupt the convention the way the NVA Democrats disrupted Chicago in 1968, the General Election vote for the Democratic Presidential candidate will be diminished. RFK Jr. is set to play the same spoiler role this year as George Wallace did in 1968, giving disaffected Democrats a place to go, assuming Democrat lawyers and judges allow him on the ballot.

      Biden will “evolve” and switch his allegiance to Hamas. American Jews won’t riot at the Chicago convention, but the Hamas Democrats will. This will recover a lot of those straying African-American voters.

      All I care about is that urban cores run red with liberal blood. These people have voted themselves into a corner over multiple decades, and I love natural consequences. Popcorn is popped.

      Much as I would love to join you in the popping of popcorn, this needs to be said: One, lots of people in the “urban core” had nothing to do with this stupidity; two, those cities are unfortunately necessary for the economy, if only as transit hubs; three, no matter what, the blood shed is not going to be shed by the parties causing these problems, the direct causatory agents for all this disruption. They’ll have the organs of the state looking out for them, because they control those. Good men are going to die trying to maintain order and protect these jackasses, just because of the offices they hold.

      I’m morally certain that while what comes is going to be well-deserved in generalized terms, it’s going to be mostly the innocent who suffer. Most deaths won’t be the urban liberals who caused this, or the young thugs they’ve enabled: It will be, instead, the elderly who can’t get their meds, the parents who will be frantically trying to feed their kids and keep them safe in a fundamentally chaotic situation, and on and on. The actual guilty parties are not going to be hit by any of the shit flung off the fan blades; they have made quite certain of that fact.

      ‘Course, there ain’t nothing to say that those of us among who they will assuredly try to shelter behind and with will have to, y’know… Allow that to happen. Keep an eye out, as things go down: Observe who has fled, and what role they played. You decide they had something to do with it? Act as your conscience directs you. Also, bear in mind that the more of these assholes survive the coming denouement, the sooner they’ll weasel their way back into power and do it all over again…

      Prophylactic measures should probably be taken, is all I’m saying. Up to you; do what you can live with.
