Can't wait to see it. Especially if the nominee is Tom Cotton (Hawley, maybe) and I don't see how they try to keep Trump's base and appeal to black voters. We'd have to really not be paying attention to fall for it.
They don't need a huge percentage. If they get 20% that is more than enough. A lot of Black folks aren't as emotionally/instinctually attached to the Dem party as in the past.
What if the GOP put in its electoral platform a commitment in writing to spend a cpl hundred billion dollars in predominately Black communities. I don't mean the Platinum Plan bs. I mean for instance free trade/technical education for any high school graduate; infrastructure renewal; Grants etc for black owned businesses etc. They could announce something similar for poor "rural" (aka white) communities as well. The GOP would have zero issue spending or committing to spend this money if they think it will win them an election.
And I would bet every penny I own that if a GOP candidate proposed this and the party forced their members to buy in and commit to its implementation that they would easily get 20% of the Black vote. There are a lot of Black ppl that just want to get their fair share and be left the fuk alone. And the danger for the Dems is that as a party they really can't attack the GOP on this issue. All they can do is point to history and suggest that these are empty promises. That strategy will work for many Black folks, but many will also be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.
He dont have Trumps charisma.
Doesn't matter. The GOP votes to obtain power. If he is the nominee he will get the votes. They're smart enough to fall in line when it matters. In fact, many on that side will probably be secretly relieved that they don't have to deal with trumps style of "charisma."
