No he won't, but some polls are saying 25% of black voters would support him, that's more than triple the typival number of black republicans. I've talked to a lot of trump supporters and they're not all like I expected.Stopharage wrote:Like others have said that's Republican candidates only. He won't get near 40% of black voters.The only chance the Republicans have is if they don't go for Trump. He's pretty much alienated 30% of the voting population (those troublesome non-white ones) and without picking up some of them, his chances are minimal.The problem is, the only chance the republicans have is if they go with trump. If they ditch him and he runs as an independent then he will take 20 or 30% of their vote, meaning the have no chance of winning.This poll is on the high end with 40% of black voters and 45% of Hispanics. I've seen another that puts Trump support among black voters at 25% but that's still fucking good for a Republican. ]http://www.wnd.com/2015/12/minorities-line-up-behind-donald-trump/Blacks and Hispanics, in fact, even support Trump at a higher level than whites.
