WASHINGTON On Sunday, an entire Charlotte church will endorse Donald Trump.
Trump surrogates will attempt a media blitz, trying to engage black women, veterans, and leaders over the next several days, culminating in the churchs endorsement at Antioch Road to Glory International Ministries. Supporting Hillary is like being with an abusive ex, one that you already know left you broken and wounded, reads a post on the churchs Facebook page from last month. At this point, give the new guy a chance.
The event there A Day of Endorsement will feature a small group of high-profile Trump supporters: black outreach director Omarosa Manigault (an ordained minister); Trump national spokesperson Katrina Pierson; Trump surrogate Pastor Mark Burns, who spoke at Julys Republican convention; and Eric Trump Foundation Vice President Lynne Patton. Manigault will preach at the worship service, according to sources briefed on the event.
And thats how Donald Trumps black outreach campaign will officially begin.
......................
Trump campaign officials will try to change that, and mobilize the small but not insignificant portion of black voters who are Republicans, starting now. Two black Republicans familiar with the campaigns plans, but who werent authorized to speak for the campaign, said after the Charlotte swing, officials would try to replicate the program in Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania with plans in the works for Iowa and Virginia. One source said the Trump campaign will begin focusing on securing the support of black celebrities, entertainers, and reality stars, many from Trumps personal rolodex.....................

(4,734 posts)I get outraged whenever I think about it.
That's the reason why Trump polls at less than 5% with the black population.

I will be so very happy if he only gets 1% of the Black vote

(10,857 posts)... which is actually inside the margin of error. I think that means he could have a negative percentage of support.

There, fixed it.
Did the person who wrote that to describe HRC even think it through? Describes Trump to a T.

(11,936 posts)...young black men accused of a murder they were ultimately found innocent of and his racist treatment of President Obama are things our side can rely on to negate his fake ass outreach to black folks.

(58,645 posts)I suppose there will be black folks who vote for him, but he won't get 10% of anybody who really pays attention.

(42,279 posts)Whatever he does will be as tone-deaf and stupid as his "taco bowl" outreach to Latinos.

(34,648 posts)We aint did a mf thing to deserve this mf shit. No! This is not fair. We did not ask for outreach and everytime we get it it is TERRIBLE for us. No. Oh fuck! Mark Burns? Oh no. This is really not fair. Let us just call this attempted hate crime a failure and not do it. No. No outreach! No.

(54 posts)Or do something equally tasteless and insensitive? Ironically, he might garner more black votes by campaigning with Duke, as a recent poll showed him getting more black votes than Trump, haha.
In any case, though, this "outreach" will backfire catastrophically, just like the "taco bowl" did.
