Perfect example why Trump won't win...

Considering each likes to pretend they have had a 'black' American experience, yes, they're phonies.
They use their skin color as a political tool. Neither had slave ancestors and neither one spent the majority of their childhood in the US.
So, let's not pretend they have a lot in common with the US black community.
Respectfully, that's from your perspective.
If he'd have done that, he'd have lost respect from his base, imo. I'm glad he stayed and confronted them, but wish he would have just blown off their insults and stuck to policies. But that's not him and you take the good with the bad.
Polls show that his support among blacks has been cut almost in half in only 3 weeks. There are still undecideds, but the poll I saw nationwide among register black voters was
Trump 12%
Undecided 17%
Harris 71%
Not sure what Trump's percentage was in 2020, but I seem to recall it being something like 82-18.
So it's unclear if Trump will make any gains at all.
Yesterday didn't help him with the "Kamala isn't really black" nonsense. If any black voters thought he had changed since the racist Obama birtherism and the Central Park Five overt racism, they are reminded of who he is.
Don't tell these morons still living in the 50s that HBCUs accept all races now.
That is the #1 thing that gets me. Tillerson, Mattis, McMaster, Kelly, Bolton, etc. have all said Trump is not fit. All of these very accomplished people can't be wrong or "in the swamp" as some like to say.
That’s not true, Obama had slave owning ancestors through his mother’s side.
Trump is the only living former or current president with no ancestors who owned slaves.
Harris didn't move to Montreal until she was 12 then attended one year of college in Canada before going to Howard University. Therefore, from birth to 22, she spent about 15 of those years in the US. I guess it was just too bad Obama and Harris had educated parents and weren't born and raised in the hood to suffice your definition of blackness.
Now, it's my turn to stereotype you, okay?
And the only President whose father was arrested at a KKK rally. 1927. Ah, when America was great!
A newspaper article from the time stated that "Fred Trump of 175-24 Devonshire Road, Jamaica, was discharged." This address matched records or Donald Trump's father from the 1930 census. A report in the Long Island Daily Press said all of the arrestees were "berobed marchers." To be fair, other reports said that non-Klan observers were arrested too, for brawling.
So Fred was either a Klansman or was into fighting Klansmen. We''ll never know for sure. The former, though, seems more likely, based on family history.
Was Donald Trump's father in the KKK?
Post in wake of Donald Trump primary wins reenergizes speculation over whether Trump's father had ties to the white supremacist group.

This post does not include any supporting source and there appears to be no immediate evidence that suggests Fred Trump was a member of the infamous white power group.And the only President whose father was arrested at a KKK rally. 1927. Ah, when America was great!

God you’re a joke.
I agree, all he did was be himself and shake up the weak and easily offended. I'm 100% sure the same broadcast or whatever it was wouldn't have asked Biden about many of his remarks from the past.
Oh to be a billionaire who in the end can just give a middle finger to the world and walk away. The only thing that might be more befitting of America is an individual who applied for a job and basically was last 4 years ago can now be running the free world without one single accomplishment since they applied.
As I end all my emails to my staff "keep on rockin' in the free world" I guess I should also say enjoy it while it last.
Where did I say he was surely a KKK member? I didn't. I merely said he was arrested at a KKK rally and I even went over the 2 possibilities, only one of which is being a KKK member, and admitted that we'll never know.
DJT on the other hand puts his racist cards on the table for all to see.
@Cortez88 would like you to know those two things are mutually exclusive. I mean, probably, anyway.
They can all be wrong. As soon as they turn on Trump, they are traitorous rinos

Did you watch how the journalists were treating him? I would like to see them treat Harris 1/2 as bad and see how she reacts.
Trump got 12% of the black vote in 2020. You can take under. I'll take over 12%. We will see who is correct in a few months.
I agree, I wouldn't mind seeing people work together for once a leave the president box blank and vote however they want down ballot. I think that would send a message.
I wasn't commenting on the article. I was saying we get what we get with politicians because they represent the public and the public sucks. We aren't sending our best to DC.
Trump whines enough without your help.
Just because Trump doesn't like a question doesn't mean they are treating him unfairly.
He should stop making shitty comments if he doesn't want journalists to do their job and question him on them. Simple right?
my nickname in college was beer can bc that’s how thick it is. It’s like a beer can. Cortez has only had to hear this TRUTH about a million times
I changed my mind, you are without doubt, weird.
Sounds awful. From any perspective.
But, from your capitalization of the word truth, i suspect shenanigans.
@Cortez88 can you take some time out to your day and tell us about Murt’s pecker? I’m sure you have nothing better to do.
Poor @Cortez88 out there trying to work and just getting thrown into all kinds of shit.
Vigilance is key. On this board anyway.
The nerve of those journalists, asking him about some bad things that he has actually said, VERBATIM, even pointing out WHEN he said them, and asking him to explain why he can be trusted!
If you don't say stupid racist shit then indeed journalists are not going to harp on stupid racist shit that you have spewed, since you haven't!
Here’s all you need to know about Murt. I’ve given him an open 20+ year invite for me to jump on 70, drive to St Louis, and beat the ever loving shit out of him. I’m still waiting.
Bitch. @larsIU i will tell you in our group of buds that have kept up daily in texts for 20 + years only one posts about politics and it’s very rare. 4 of the group I have no idea if they’re Dem/pub etc.
Thank God. This place is exhausting enough and all i really do is shitpost all day.
Shitpost is the only path. I will say my soccer crowd text groups are way more political and lean strongly left
How they were treating him?! You mean asking him questions about his real, actual record and things he's said? Come on man.
He wasn't treated badly at all. Yes, he complained about being treated bad, but he does that any time someone isn't kissing his ass.
Plus he told his top defense advisors that he wanted to leave NATO.
I agree, and it's fair game for reporters to ask Harris about the positions she has supposedly flip flopped on. Just as it was fair game to question Biden about his mental state after his dismal debate performance.
