Black coalition supporting Trump

"Trump has a lot of support over there"

Maybe someone didn't read through the entire article before they posted it and just went with the article's title and the Fox News video. 10% approval rate among black voters is A LOT of support?

However, black voters, who overwhelmingly support Democrats, are an elusive demographic for the 45th US president. Trump received only 8% of the black vote in 2016. According to a recent Gallup poll, his approval among black voters remains below 10%.

10% would be a lots for Trump, as say a 25% increase,

And the Republicans are not self-reflective enough to think about why that is. Blacks, like Hispanics, are often social conservatives, more in line with Republican than Democratic policy in many ways. But the Republicans just don't get it.

Not according to the article that you supplied. It says that support from blacks is below 10%. We just have to let him talk and he'll chase them off. LOL

Actual facts don't seem to matter as long as the article title seemingly backs the pro-Trump agenda of Fox News, along with the wishful narrative that Donald Trump is popular among African-Americans.

There’s also a doctor there as you can see by his lab coat he’s wearing at a campaign rally.

Trump has several Black voters.

They know where the jobs are coming from. Not the Democrats who have done next to nothing to promote black employment in the cities that they control. Known as the concrete jungle.

Who knows where what jobs are coming from? And what is a concrete jungle?

You make no sense. Democrats want free education as a way to help more people get living wage jobs. It is the Republican Party balking at that idea, forcing people who would qualify for college to seek low wage jobs instead.

Fake news. Trump has at least 106% of the black vote.

It really is quite funny. As a black man, I'm constantly told how I should support Republicans, how Democrats are the real racists, how Abraham Lincoln was a Republican, and blah blah blah.

It doesn't make me vote Conservative. It doesn't make any of the black people I know vote Conservative. It doesn't seem to move black support for Republicans at all. And they never seem to understand why that is, or even care to really look into it.

It's like they think they just deserve the black vote. Like a whiny pre-teen who can't understand why that girl he really digs just isn't into him, despite all the flowers and cards and chocolates he gives her.

How are some of those democrats that have been in office for so long in cities such as San Francisco and Chicago working for you?

Do you mean to tell me that there are black people who don't fit that stereotype!? [sarcasm]

Don't you feel grateful to Donald Trump and the Republican Party for trying to save you and other black people from the Democratic Party? I mean, come on, where is your gratitude, lasthero?

^ that was also sarcasm.

That's great but, who pays for it? Taxpayers? Fixed income here and already taxed out.

I am only talking about the fact that Democrats care more than Republicans. Even if they have the wrong solutions, they at least want to solve the problem. Republicans OTOH think if you have a job, you're fine - even if it pays minimum wage and does not offer any employer benefits.

See the difference? It is about who they want to help and understanding what they need to fix.
