Black Americans have been voting blue for more than a half-century and the Republican challenge has intensified over the past three decades as the white vote, their traditional support base, is declining as the USA moves closer to a majority minority nation. Haley served as national finance director to past Republican presidential candidate John McCain. Oh, and he wants your vote.

While many have been fooled into thinking that Trump is making a serious attempt to gain Black voters, Roland Martin views Trump’s Black voter outreach attempts as a way to prove to White voters that he is not racist. The black poverty rate is about 27 percent.

“His pitch to black Americans, in front of largely white audiences, is simply a slap in the face”, Butterfield said.

For Trump, every black American is living in a bombed out housing project circa 1973.

She also should get accustomed to the fact that Trump will frequently make her into a liar. As the Daily Beast noted, that was her third time on the comedian’s program, while she hasn’t held a press conference in more than 260 days. I have done that, and I regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain.
