Why.....????

Why is Trump in Dimondale, MI, which is a suburb of Lansing and mostly white, talking about Black people in Detroit or why did he give a speech in West Bend, WI, mostly white, and talk about Black people in Milwaukee? If he is so interested in trying to get the AA people to support him, why not go straight to the towns where they live? I would have to guess that the reason he goes to the towns with only 1% of the African American population is so he can get applause and adulation.

Why.....???? (Original Post) spartan61 Aug 2016 OP

Cuz he thinks it's much more effective to talk ABOUT than TO AA groups. n/t CincyDem Aug 2016 #1

He probably mis-read the name of the town as Diamondale, instead of Dimondale Siwsan Aug 2016 #2

And he figured it would be full of like minded rich guys who might help fund his campaign.

Why not post "Why is Trump in Dimondale, mostly white suburb?"

Well perhaps because the answer is obvious you didn't ask the question that way in the thread title.

Even so, meaningful thread titles get read more and are easier for people to find to follow a discussion.

He's speaking about black people through the lens of white people--can't lose that white supremacist vote--and I'm not talking about organizations either.
