I haven't noticed it either.
But I can't help but wonder what Resident Skeptic is implying. |

I think he was simply saying that if Republicans are wanting to tap into the black vote, they should be impressed that Trump has been able to garner such a large percentage of their support relative to the small amount the Republican nominee usually gets.
Of course, it's a long time before election day. I'm not sure how well these early polls will match what voters ultimately decide. |

This is part of the problem that separates us. Why not tap into the American vote and leave the racial divide out of it. |

Wouldn't that necessitate more blacks voting Republican? Call it what you want but how do you make it happen (the "tap into American vote" idea)? |

At a meeting of the RNC a couple of years back, they stressed two goals above all else...
Getting more of the black vote.

Ah, OK. Well, a diversity of voters is great. I'm encouraged that, here lately, this diversity seems to me to be a little more reflected in the field of strong candidates. I would like to believe that qualified candidates from different ethnicities are increasingly feeling more comfortable stepping forward. But qualifications and political positions should be a major factor in voting. |
