Thats not the perception of black people https://www.usnews.com/news/politic...-to-the-polls-to-choose-democrats?context=amp Trump Drove Black Voters to the Polls – to Choose Democrats A new survey suggests most African-American voters were voting against President Donald Trump when they cast their midterm ballots. By Susan Milligan Senior Politics Writer • Nov. 19, 2018, at 3:40 p.m. He's no Barack Obama. But President Donald Trump is having his own motivating effect on African-American voters, who overwhelmingly cast votes for Democrats in this month's midterms – in large part because of the damage Trump has done to the GOP brand, according to pollsters who surveyed African-Americans immediately before the elections. Nine out of 10 African-Americans surveyed on the eve of the election said they were voting or had already voted early for a Democrat in the congressional races, up from 77 percent who said so in July, according to the survey by the African American Research Collaborative. And while a number of GOP candidates distanced themselves from their party's controversial leader or just tried to ignore him, polling showed Trump might as well have been on the ballot himself, the survey indicated. Nearly 8 in 10 African-Americans said Trump made them "angry," while 85 percent of black women and 81 percent of black men said Trump made them feel "disrespected," according to the study. Similar majorities of African-American voters – 89 percent of women and 83 percent of men – said Trump's statements and policies will cause "a major setback to racial progress." That Trump effect filtered down to damage even candidates in the Northeast and California, where the GOP contenders did not necessarily align with the president, and may have affected other ballot choices as well, Henry Fernandez, a principal at the collaborative, told reporters in a conference call. "African-American voters and other voters of color are associating Trumpism with all Republican candidates," Watkins said. "Even with Trump not being in the ballot, Trumpism was effectively on the ballot. The entire party has now been branded," he said. Black women – who were integral in the narrow upset victory by Democratic Sen. Doug Jones of Alabama last December – also played an outsized role in electing Democrats in the midterms, said Ray Block, a political science professor at the University of Kentucky, assessing the poll. African-American women were more likely than black men to vote for the Democrat, by a 94 percent to 84 percent difference, according to the poll. In the Nevada Senate race specifically, for example, 93 percent of African-Americans voted for Democratic Sen.-elect Jacky Rosen. The same percentage voted for Democratic gubernatorial nominee Stacey Abrams in Georgia – not enough to make her the Peach State's first female African-American governor but enough to show the potential power of the black vote, Block told reporters. "It's not simply women voting for women," he said. "Anger and disrespect, I believe, are motivators for black turnout." African-Americans have long been a reliable Democratic vote. But turnout has been uneven, arguably making the difference in the 2008, 2012 and the 2016 elections. A record two-thirds of African-American voters showed up at the polls in 2012 to re-elect the nation's first black president, according to the Pew Research Center. In 2016, African-American turnout declined for the first time in a presidential election in 20 years, to 59.6. Political analysts and pollsters attributed the drop to Obama's absence from the ballot – and the decline may well have made the difference for losing Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, whom critics charge had taken the African-American vote for granted. Monday's poll showed that Democrats have made some improvements and are still ahead of the GOP in terms of appealing to African-American voters. The study showed that 72 percent felt Democrats were doing a good job reaching out to African-Americans – up from 56 percent in the July poll, and demonstrably better than the 12 percent who feel that way now about the GOP. Fifteen percent said in July that Republicans were doing a good job reaching out to blacks. Derrick Johnson, president of the NAACP, said the nation will not be a true democracy until both political parties engage and value the votes of African-Americans and other minority populations. But those communities have work to do as well, he said. "It's not incumbent on politicians to appeal to a community," Johnson said in the conference call. "It's incumbent on the communities to define the agenda of the party.
For reference, look at Trump retweeting white power posts,supporting the confederacy,calling the Charlottesville Nazis good people and try to tell us with a straight face are no efforts at trying to divide the US.
Why are you trying to characterize my concerns that a “1.7 billion website is my biggest gripe”? Feeling manipulative, are we? My point is the ever increasing growth of wasteful and corruption based spending. Again, if you want the entire list of wasteful spending, refer the the US budget. I am not just talking about the expansion of wasteful and corrupt spending during the Obama Administration, by the way. Speaking of Obama, what really harmed business confidence during the Great Recession were draconian regulations implimented by the Obama Administration. If Biden gets elected, we can expect it to be even worse for those businesses who don’t make their payoffs. Excuse me, political contributions. For reference, look at how certain large businesses have been recently and publically towing the line of Leftist political philosophy in apparent anticipation of a Biden victory. Productive capacity and effective utilization of resources comes from businesses, not from leaders of political organizations who have no business experience. A business that has to divert various resources to a political party is less efficient. This matter in a global economy. Further, in such a system, potential entrepreneurs are discouraged from taking risks, reducing innovation and potential economic growth. This is why Socialist Democrat policies are inherently unsound and will always fail in the long run. Blogging our thoughts arguing which of the multimillionaire politicians or their multibillionaire friends, regardless of political affiliation, is more corrupt is probably time better spent elsewhere. Time that could be using to improve our own situation, financial or otherwise. So tell us, how much Federal income taxes did you pay in 2019?
Ben Carson may be a homophobe, just like many Blacks, as I understand, but as far as leadership potential he is far ahead of Joe Biden when you compare their respective life list of accomplishments. So Ben Carson could be a President that could competently represent voters, including the 12% or so who are Black, at the possible expense of the 2 to 3% or so of voters who are homosexual and transgender. Or we can have Joe Biden who has not represented anyone competently in his fifty year political career except special interests. Even Trump is a better choice than Biden, but hopefully it doesn’t actually come down to that. Unless, of course, there is some real progress into investigations related to the corrupt Obama Administration and certain other elements of the Democratic Party.
="Tony Stark, post: 5146676, member: 495092"] You said you were leaving,yet here you are. You don’t mind, do you? ="Tony Stark, post: 5146678, member: 495092"] A lot I’ll take that answer, if it is a whole dollar. ="Tony Stark, post: 5146679, member: 495092"] Im voting for Biden Are you sure? Biden may not be around, or at least above ground on election day. Then again, for a party who registers dead people for voting purposes, would likely have no issue in running a nearly dead or even dead person as their leader.
1.Of course not. 2.Many whole dollars.Ill release my tax info when Trump releases his. 3.If Bidens not the guy I will vote for whoever the Dem nominee is,Trump has got to go.
