Trump’s Support

I watched a PJTV video this morning, unfortunately a members-only type, so I cannot post a link that all can use, that had some interesting news on support of The Donald.

They said that Trump’s support among black people is 40% and that Democrats need at least 85% of the black vote to win. No idea where these numbers come from but I’m certain that black votes got Obama elected. The black support of Trump makes sense when you consider who is hurt most by low-wage foreigners taking their jobs.

Secondly, Trump’s most vociferous supporters are what we called, in another era, Reagan Democrats. Blue collar Democrats that are not the likeliest of voters but who will turn out if you get their dander up. It’s up. (Incidentally, these are the part of Trump’s support that Sanders is going after.)

The Donald’s support seems to be growing even as he continues to confound the Talking Heads who are accustomed to having their way with more timid candidates.

With Hillary’s indictment just around the corner, Trump might just actually be the next POTUS.
