Trump to black voters: ‘What the hell do you have to lose?
Source: MSN/USA Today
DIMONDALE, Mich. On his second visit to Michigan in less than two weeks, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Friday blasted Democratic policies he said have destroyed Detroit and other urban centers and called for African Americans to support him, saying blacks cannot expect change otherwise.
Speaking to a predominantly all-white audience of about 6,000 people, Trump appealed directly to blacks for votes.
"You live in poverty," he said. "Your schools are no good. You have no jobs. What the hell do you have to lose?"

Trump promised to bring back American jobs, build a wall on the Mexican border, cut taxes and improve education and health care. But he was short on details on how he would fix the last two areas, other than getting rid of the Common Core federal education guidelines and repealing the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare.

Nice "outreach", you pandering fuck-clown.

(26,281 posts)to win the Whitehouse rather they are running him as their candidate to rally their voting base so that they can atleast keep majority control of Congress.
Or atleast that is my opinion because I think that they are playing the long game of politics which they are pretty good at playing if that is what they are doing here, after all they can't play the game currently of actually being a good choice to run the country given their performance over the last 30+ years.

(39 posts)bullshit. Black folks done "peeped his game from jump". We know that his last two speeches aimed at us were not for us BUT for the "white" moderate undecided voter. It's to show them how non-racist he is, how reasonable he is and how caring he is. There is nothing Trump can say or do to get my vote. He's already shown who and what he is over the course of his private life (and more so during this election season). A rich, spoiled, narcissistic _________ (you fill in the blank). . I almost feel sorry for the Republicans because they allowed their party to be "hi-jacked" by The Donald. When the polls show Trump has 1% of black voters supporting him, my question is "What in the hell is wrong the black people that make up the 1% ?????"

(2,003 posts)No, he didn't. He's speaking to whites, trying to reassure them that he's not a racist so they won't be either if they vote for him.
...and that's the bottom line!
Forget about all the KKK members and skinheads betting on Trump. They don't want to be affiliated with them.
