Trump asks black voters to take a chance on him

And Donald Trump is saying you know what? I say it again, what do you have to lose?

Trump shocked many on Thursday by expressing “regret” for past mistakes, and began airing his first television ads on Friday in a desperate attempt to chip into Democratic rival Hillary Clinton’s yawning lead in the polls.

“You’re living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs, 58% of your youth is unemployed”.

Young believes if Trump really wants African American voters to listen, he’ll have to come to them.

Trump is falling in recent polls, especially among black voters, but he’s working to fix that by pointing the blame at the Democratic Party.

Mr Trump has suffered from dismal support among African-Americans.

The calls concerned Trump’s comments about black voters having nothing to lose by voting for him.

President Barack Obama the most famous president among African-Americans in United States history, received 93% of the black vote in 2012.

Pence added, “The man that is running this campaign is now and always has been Donald Trump”.

Before the event, long lines of cars stretched for miles to get into the rally, and entrepreneurs sold Trump buttons, t-shirts and other novelties to those winding their ways to The Summit arena complex from cars parked blocks away.

In the thick of the Republican primaries, Trump received the support of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.

His promise that he will get 95% African-American support within four years wasn’t in his prepared text.

But critics noted that Trump chose to address black voters there in Dimondale – and at another rally in West Bend, Wisconsin, earlier in the week – in communities that are overwhelmingly white. “Telling us we’re dumb, broke suckers who have no jobs is the best he could do”, Jamil Smith, a black reporter for MTV News, wrote on Twitter.

Trump’s remarks, however, seemed somewhat out of place, given that he was delivering it in a hall outside Lansing, halfway across the state from the Detroit.

When a TV anchor gently enquires with Trump’s advisor as to why the Republican presidential candidate isn’t speaking to black audiences about black issues, the reply is: “Ok, maybe it would have been nice if he went and had a backdrop with a burning vehicle”.
