According to the D playbook, right about now is the time to pull out the stops on some fake race issue designed to keep people angry and distracted. I wonder what it’ll be this time.

Im not surprised at all by this.

You’re going to be surprised when you see the exit polls of how people actually voted in November. This narrative of Black voters flocking to Trump isn’t going to happen. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/06/15/black-voters-moving-donald-trump-00163547

So just like everything else Trump does, this charade around the black vote is also smoke and mirrors.

Also Kellyanne Conway is pretending that there were 8,000 people at that Black church event. 🤪

That is not a megachurch and does not seat 8,000. The congregation and occupancy is roughly 300, so did the other 7700 sit outside. They can't even come up with a believable lie. Ridiculous.

When did whining like a little B become a sign of strength?

I agree, but I think that the larger issue is that a lot of people just won’t vote at all.

As a black mom, my struggle with my adult sons is not whether they will vote for Trump, it's whether they will vote. They don't like Biden's Israel policies and some other things. They also hate Trump. That's where the polls are wrong. My fear is that young people just won't vote at all.

I concur. My thoughts exactly.

Maybe because he is fabulously wealthy, has his name up on a bunch of buildings and golf courses, is married to a former supermodel, is a former TV star and, you know, president? And has taken incredible abuse for years from all angles and still is on course to win another election.

His name has been removed from the majority of the buildings one-by-one. Haha, Melania was never a supermodel. The only modeling she did was modeling on a yacht and soft porn modeling in a magazine that only horny boys and men consume.

It's remarkable how being a felon correlates positively with supporting (or working for) Trump, regardless of race or background. This is especially apparent in Trump's administration and the miscreant company he keeps.

This. And, stayed so well.

Trump isn't strong. He's a weak, doughy, crybaby child of a New York millionaire. Never worked a day in his life.

Some Black sports legends love that they are among the few Blacks in the country clubs, appointed to corporate boards, praised by rich white guys, and admitted into the crony patronage network.

Look, we all know this. Even the people who vote for him know this. But they don’t care. And that’s one of the issues here.

There is definitely a strong likelihood that certain precincts in Philly, Atlanta, Detroit and Milwaukee will show overwhelming Black support for the Democratic candidate. One could argue impossibly overwhelming support.
