Detroit – When Democrats lost the presidency to Donald Trump four years ago, their biggest vote drop-offs were centered on a trio of Midwestern Rust Belt cities with large Black populations – Detroit, Milwaukee and Cleveland. This year, all three anchor battleground states that Democratic nominee Joe Biden hopes to reclaim for his party, and recent polls show him in the lead. But in 2016, Democrat Hillary Clinton led some of the same October polls in Michigan, Wisconsin and Ohio only to lose them all, thanks largely to blue-collar white voters turning to Trump and some African Americans turning away from the election altogether.

Sure thing Joe. They will be lining up early in the morning. Because you told them over and over that if they don't line up to vote for you they AIN'T BLACK.
Good grief.

While Ben Crump and the lying media have apparently fooled a lot of blacks with their lies about Floyd, Taylor and Blake, that anger does not seem to be driving them to vote for an ancient white guy who has said some really obnoxious things recently.
I would hope at some point to be able to show the truth about these three cases and the lies the Ben Crump has put out there, amplified by the compliant and dishonest media. Getting past their lies is pretty difficult. They believe that there have been racist police "killings" when in reality that isn't the case.
But the truth is drowned out by the drumbeat of lies put out by ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, MSNBC, CNN and more. They all work together to put out the lies that Ben Crump's PR machine creates.
This report admits that Biden has inspired very few, and mostly the endless drumbeat of "hate Trump" has tended to turn black voters away from the President. We'll see how many understand how good the President made the economy.

If Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan are key to Biden, he's toast!
President Trump won all of three states in 2016.
Electoral votes: Ohio - 15; Michigan - 18; Wisconsin - 10.
Race percentages of populations:
Cleveland - Black - 48.3; Hispanic: 12.4
Detroit - Black - 78.7; Hispanic - 7.2
Milwaukee: Black - 38.4; Hispanic - 19.1
(Source: "City-Data" website)
President Trump is going to get a higher percentage of votes from these populations than he won in 2016, and these increases are not going to be offset by losing other votes he won in 2016.

People in these cities have been bamboozled into reelecting the same failed Democrat incompetents for generations. The Democrat politicians have learned a trick that works every time. Blame the hypothetical [white, President, Republican, etc] bogey man at the federal level for the sorry state of the schools, housing, crime, joblessness, and drug use in their local community.
Donald Trump has virtually no influence on the economic and political circumstances that affect their lives. So ok, don't vote for Trump but how will that change anything that really makes a difference.
The unfortunate people in these cities have had their votes harvested like vegetables by powerful international organizations who undermined local law enforcement and abandoned protection of private property. This chaos is driving a cycle of violence and looting that will keep them in chains for generations. This was the plan all along.

There are two men running for President: One is a well-known lifetime bigot with a provable history of racial slurs and racist observations.
The other is Donald Trump.
Choose wisely.

If (and again, I wait to see if it happens -- but all the signs are pointing that way) Pres Trump can increase his vote among Black and Hispanic voters by 10 percentage points, I have a hard time seeing how Biden wins.
For example, the other day I spoke with a friend who is a solid Democrat in Green Bay, Wis. The usual way Wisconsin goes is that Milwaukee, Racine, and Madison go heavy for Democrats and the rest of the state makes up the difference. For example, in Brown County (Green Bay), Trump beat Hillary Clinton by 16%. The Democrats goal is to decrease that to 3%. That tells me that the Dems. are worried about Milwaukee and Madison turning out the numbers that they do in the past.
But remember, Pres Trump is President due to 70,000 voters in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Out of 125 million or so votes, that's 0.05% (5 hundreths of a percent). Friends, basically President Trump won with a rounding error that went in our favor. It will take a strong effort every day to election day (and possibly beyond) to win in 2020. Plus, we need to win back the House and keep the Senate (in spite of Turtle McConnell's use of the "Paul Ryan How to Keep the House Strategy" which worked oh-so-successfully in 2018.

Ohhhh ..... I can think of something.... Biden encourages and promotes more Planned Parenthood Clinics open up in black communities. Margaret Sanger is his heroine. In her view PP is a black baby extermination service, ain’t that right Joe & Kamala. How about #blackprebornlivesmatter?

Were the circles 12 feet apart like Fauci demands? Were they all wearing masks?
