Donald Trump will speak at African-American church in Detroit
2016-08-30
[CBSNEWS] Donald Trump is planning to speak at a predominantly black church in bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
next weekend, his campaign announced Monday.

Pastor Mark Burns, a Trump supporter, said in a Trump blurb that he would be "speaking at the only African American owned and operated national Christian television network, The Impact Network," on Saturday morning in Detroit. He’ll be interviewed by Wayne Jackson at Great Faith Ministries.

Burns said in the release that Trump would be answering questions relevant to African Americans, like "unemployment, making our streets safe and creating better opportunities for all," and then he’ll deliver a speech on policies that "will impact minorities and the disenfranchised in our country."

#10  JohnQC, I believe W tried to engage with the black community through the churches rather than the liberal controlled methods. It didn't help him when Katrina hit but still he did make the effort.

Trump has a good spiel with facts to back it on how the Democrats have let the black community down for decades. He doesn't have to bull$hit at all so I'm not sure how a liberal plant could derail much except the 'attack the messenger' type stuff. Even then the message will sink through to a lot of folks, especially if he adds "attacking the messenger and calling Republicans racist" to avoid anyone paying close attention to the democrat record as part of his speach.

#9  Shipman was being sarcastic.

However, closed primaries are a necessary thing. One doesn't let your opposition define your game plan, unless one is innocent, insane, or idiotic.

#8  I wonder if The Donald is 'chum baiting' here and actually hoping for the standard virulent liberal responses to this interview and the Detroit event.

Trump does 'Corporate Jujutsu' every day. Would be interesting to see how the opposition's actions could be utilized.

#7  We must come to grips that the Republican Party is 88.76% RINO. We must do a prides purge and rebuild to a pure, tent closed, pearl shined, true faith, card carrying Republican Party.

And closed Primaries!

#6  Hell most Trunks stayed away from campaigning anywhere, relying mainly on TeeVee and demographic certainty.
Dat not work any longer.

#5  Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that the Pubs shied away from going into the inner city to campaign in past elections.

#3  Any bets on the number of MSM agents subject to what the usual inhabitants of Detroit endure (ie victim of criminal acts)?

#2  It wouldn't matter what Trump said, the left-wing media would play "pile on" even if he were reciting the Lord's prayer. The MSM should be careful, they are liable to get "tagged" with one of their favorite PC criticisms, "bullying (gasp)."

Thereby handing a big steaming pile of STFU to his detractors.
