I think Trump supporters would groan at the oppotunistic ghoulishness of that statement. Before any of you Trump supporters comment just reflect on what your reaction if Hillary had something like that. I know what mine would be--disgust.

Apart from the bad taste, it's like he's doing everything he can to further alienate black voters with that statement. Only a person who thought the average black voter was ignorant and had no self-esteem whatsoever would think this comment was a good move politically.
 
Trump is the living breathing personification of the old put down - "the village called and they want their idiot back".

They guy never learn and shows us he has no capacity nor willingness to learn.

First, let me remind you that it is highly doubtful that DT tweets a thing.

I'm not sure how you extrapolated from that tweet that DT thinks the average black voter is ignorant and has no self esteem.

It was insensitive, no question. But DT isn't the most PC guy on planet earth either. THAT we know.
 
Black people will vote for Trump when Hell freezes over.

If someone else is tweeting for Trump he must be approving it. If not, he should put a stop to it. Let's assume you're correct and Trump doesn't think those things. At least he ought to know how not to make statements that suggest he really does think them. And how many times is this "Trump just isn't PC" excuse going to be used every time he makes stupid insensitive comments? It was always a pretty lame excuse for being an insulting lout but it's thin as tissue paper now.

Once you understand that Trump is a New York liberal opportunist posing as a republican, everything he does makes perfect sense. Including this.

Either Trump is tweeting himself, or his campaign staff is even dumber than we thought. No sane political operative would put out some of these.

He does. For awhile you could tell which ones were his, because he used an android and his staffer used an iphone.

That must explain why he won the Republican nomination. If Trump is a liberal in disguise, playing to the worst of conservative angst, the Republican Party rank and file rolled right over.

Don't blame liberals for Trump. They were too busy wondering if they would follow the socialist version of Doc Brown.

Oh, if you'd only meant that as comic irony I'd have voted you up trice. Sadly, no. If you ever really wanted to know why so few blacks vote for libertarians and republicans, that comment says it all.

So tell me, why do so few blacks vote for republicans and libertarians? For that matter why did so few blacks vote for Sanders?

There are numerous reasons why Trump won the nomination.

I think most of the 'rank and file' voted for someone else. But yes, a lot of republican voters bought into the scam, no doubt about it.

I didn't blame liberals for Trump. I said Trump is a liberal. To his credit, he touched on those issues a good number in the GOP were longing to hear. Right message, wrong messenger.
 
Between Obama, Hillary and Trump, we have this:




Obama and Hillary are, as usual, waiting to see which way the wind is blowing before they commit themselves.
 
What he tweeted wasn't tactful but I don't see what else was wrong with it. Murders are a major problem in Democrat controlled inner cities, are they not?
