Why does Drumpf the Deplorable say he did great among African Americans?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

He won 8% of that vote, the lowest percentage in history when both parties nominated a candidate of the same color.

1. He is just delusional

can't admit he lost the popular vote bigly, more bigly than all previous minority Presidents, JQ Adams, Harrison, Hayes and Dubya.

It follows he can't admit he lost among certain demographics either.

2. That's called propaganda. A lie writ large and repeated until it becomes a "truth".

[DawgHouse]

3. He's an easy liar, that's why.

4. 11% fewer voted at all compared to 2012.

7. Clinton got same number of votes Obama got in 2012 and close to his AA numbers...

... there's no way this election wasn't stolen

[LittleBlue]

5. He's saying that the depressed AA turnout was as good as a vote for him

A black voter who stayed home is as good as a vote for him.

8. THIS!

+1,000,000

9. And so were missing brown votes in Texas and Arzona.

I suspect that this Presidential election might have turned out differently if more Latinos turned out to vote in Texas and Arizona. The typical Texas Latino stay-at-home mindset still bewilders me, but I'd have thought that after Sheriff Joe's and the Arizona legislature's excursions into race-baiting might have p.o.'d enough Arizona Latinos to turn the tide.

Folks from other states might not get it, but I recall that the latest Texas census data says there are about as many Texas Latinos as there are as Texans of European descent.


I saw an article in mother Jones advocating mandatory civics classes for high school kids. I think the author was right.

6. "Drumpf the Deplorable"

Well now, I'm gonna have to steal this one!

Along with "Twitler."

Oh. And "Shitler."
