Trump predicts he can win 95 percent of the African-American vote

Of course it won't happen. Not in 2016, not in 2020 and not in 2036. It's silly to think that it will. I'd put more than $1,000 on that, my risk/reward assessment tells me it's a seriously safe bet.

What about 55%? How much would you bet on that?

Same. I don't see it going over 20% no matter what, and that's generous.

1. Here are some basic facts about life in black America under President Barack Obama
3. In spite of Obama’s $275 billion in housing-market bailouts, home ownership has waned.
4. In the first quarter of 2009, 67.3% of Americans owned homes. By 1Q 2014, the Census Bureau figure was 64.8%.
5. Black home ownership has sagged from 46.1% in 2009 to 43.3% in 2014.
6. The poverty rate for blacks is now 25.8%.
7. Fewer than half of young black men are working a full-time job.
8. The black workforce is decreasing, down from 58.6% in June 2007 to 52.8% in August 2012.
9. The median minority family’s income is now almost fifth lower than it was when Obama took office with a net worth of just $18,100.
10. In contrast, white median wealth has increased by 1% to $142,000.
11. In 2009, white households were 7 times richer than black households. Now, white households are 8 times richer.
12. Even Ben Jealous, president of the NAACP, the nation’s oldest civil rights organization, was reluctant to indicate that any progress had been made:

Bernard Anderson, a black economist, acknowledged that he had hopes of racial progress as he watched Obama deliver his second inaugural address, but also made a direct challenge to the president’s recent claims:

“The country’s back to pretty much where it was when this president started. White people in this country are doing a bit better. Black people are doing a full point worse.”

“I believe now is the time for the president to use some of his political capital to eliminate racial inequality in American economic life. We cannot let the president off the hook in the second term.

Black people gave him a pass in the first term …. He is not going to run for anything. He doesn’t deserve a pass anymore.”

And yet currently, only 1% of African-American voters would vote for Trump. Hmmm, makes one wonder. Somebody doesn’t believe Trump (or the Republican party) is the answer.

Can anyone explain how Nagasaki became a US state, filled with poor Black and Hispanic people, run by Republicans (since its implying only festering ruins are run by Democrats)?

Look at how much African-American communities have suffered under Democratic Control.....D Trump

But one could easily point out that African-American and white communities have similarly suffered under Republican control. If you'd like images of the cities and towns, and their names I could provide that for you. Still, what has that to do with Nagasaki? I know history books are bad these days, but it's not within the USA.

I understand the value of pandering. Both sides do it, its the nature of the game. The Republican controlled congress had their chances.

From https://ourfuture.org/20140923/the-cost-to-our-economy-from-republican-obstruction-and-sabotage:

The Cost To Our Economy From Republican Obstruction And Sabotage

The Republican political strategy has been to obstruct efforts to help the economy for everyone but the wealthiest few, and then campaign on complaints that the economy isn’t helping anyone but the wealthiest few. It’s working.

In President Obama’s July 12 weekly address he said, “So far this year, Republicans in Congress have blocked every serious idea to strengthen the middle class.” He could have said, “Since 2009.” Since the 2009 “stimulus,” Republicans have obstructed pretty much every effort to help the economy. In the Senate they have filibustered hundreds of bills, and since the “stimulus” they have managed to keep anything from passing that might help the economy.

In the House, Republicans have refused to allow votes on anything that seriously would help the economy, instead passing only tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, spending cuts on essential things like maintaining our infrastructure and scientific research, and cutting regulations that protect people and the environment from being harmed by corporations seeking profit.

Republicans have blocked every effort since the stimulus to maintain infrastructure, hire teachers, raise the minimum wage, give equal pay for women, stop special tax breaks for millionaires corporations (especially oil companies), stop tax breaks for sending jobs out of the country, provide student loan relief, help the long-term unemployed, and more. Instead they insist on even more tax breaks for oil companies and billionaires, on cutting environmental protections, deregulating oil companies, and so on.

Obstruction Using Senate Filibusters

How many bills have been filibustered by Senate Republicans since President Obama took office? Bloomberg’s Jonathan Bernstein, in “All Filibusters, All the Time,” writes, “The correct count of how many bills have been filibustered during Obama’s presidency is: approximately all of them.”

The article goes into further examples of, " hundreds of bills Senate Republicans have filibustered since President Obama took office." So much for hot sauce.

I'm with HER!

A new low, blaming Obama and Clinton for Nagasaki and putting credit for the reconstruction of Nagasaki on Rump and the Republicans. No wonder that Rump is able to keep his DDS afflicted supporters drinking his Kool-Aid. Logic and reason can find no purchase in such addled minds.

A topic about Trump winning 95% of the African American vote, and a typical post by LIB. I know we'd like things to make a certain amount of sense, but perhaps, given the circumstances, that is a little much to ask.
