Donald Trump campaign plans $1 million advertising attack after Bidens black voters comment
The Donald Trump campaign is planning to launch a $1 million advertising attack centered around Joe Bidens comment Friday to a popular black radio host that if anyone is struggling to decide whether to support Biden or President Donald Trump in the general election then he aint black.
The campaign has seized on the remarks since Biden made them in an interview on the radio show The Breakfast Club in which host Charlamagne Tha God told Biden he should come to the studio in New York City for another interview, telling the former vice president that weve got more questions.
Youve got more questions? Biden replied. Well, I tell you what, if you have a problem figuring out whether youre for me or Trump, then you aint black.............
.......
Biden addressed his comments in a call with the US Black Chamber of Commerce, saying, I shouldnt have been so cavalier and insisting he doesnt take black voters for granted.

Please proceed!

(95,243 posts)The real target of this effort is not the black voters it is ostensibly aimed at. The real target is middle of the road voters embarrassed by Trump's open racism. The intent is not to recruit black voters, or even entice them away from voting for Democrats. The intent is to give middle of the road types a fig leaf to cover their distaste for Trump's open racism. To let such people say, well, aren't they all just as bad, or bad enough, that how bad he is doesn't matter?

(707 posts)This is the mushy middles whataboutism defense. I have heard it and read it on social media already. This will be a tougher campaign than some think, Wisconsin and Michigan are the front lines make no mistake. If they fall we are in trouble and its better to identify and target now not wait till October and scramble.

(16,950 posts)and more drugs. No one, not ever. Maybe someone should ask Charlamagne if Obama was for reparations, as I just heard him on AM Joy wanting to ask Biden that question. Maybe we should ask Charlamagne if he recognizes that giving your power away to Republicans has never been a good idea for the black community. He is just giving Trump more leverage to bury the black community, and now literally with this COVID development about which communities are hardest hit.
Joe has to run against so many angles and Trump is the beneficiary.

(983 posts)It aint about getting black voters. It's about breeding apathy in the some in parts of the black vote as we saw in 2016. It's about republicans saying 'the democrats see you through a racial lense', we see you as Americans.
I have some news, Not every African American is a Democrat or Republican. I know many independents who are looking for a reason to vote or not to vote. Stupid, yes, but Biden might need every last one of them.
Time to wake up.

(95 posts)no apathy. Biden's campaign will SLAM Trump in ads with Trump's ENDLESSS RACISM, attacks on Obama, etc.

(983 posts)So now trump has Biden where he wants him, spending millions of dollars refuting and defending his record with black voters in a fight Biden didn't need to fight but now has no choice but to.
Biden needs to get smart, and quick. The country depends on it.

(85,977 posts)...he's not spending millions of dollars refuting and defending his record with black voters.
Nothing like that happened. Nothing like that should happen, at least not because of Trump taunting him... on anything.

(983 posts)It's about breeding apathy in the some in parts of the black vote. Biden is going to have to fight this fight in order to drive up record African American turnout, because believe it or not, he may still need it to win.
You win a fight by not arming your opponents with weapons with which they can hurt you.

(85,977 posts)...which more of us than you might think agree with, for the most part.
The handwringing is worse than the remark.

(95 posts)People", saying African countries are "shitholes," and his current attacks on Obama.
They are making another HUGE mistake.

(17,606 posts)..its just gonna happen. He cant help it and its not done out of disrespect but out of a bit of ignorance of social norms.
But this cant make us take our eyes off the goal. And hopefully his Veep will educate him on getting his message in a less offensive manner.
He will make a damn good leader. Hell hes already a billion times better than trump*!

(21,529 posts)One of drumpfs biggest problems is he continually targets ads to reach his base. From what Ive seen the black community has been far more upset with the right wing whites jumping up and down and telling them what they are supposed to find racist, then they have been with what Biden said.
So who is this ad campaign targeting? A million dollars to target whites who are already voting for drumpf? You want to waste your money, please do!!!

When racism defines your worldview you're probably not bright enough to realize you've wasted a million bucks.
