President Trump Scoring with Black Voters, and Dems Are Terrified

[American Thinker] Ana Navarro-Cardenas managed to produce one of the most offensive tweets of the year in response to the news that multiple polls show black job approval of President Donald Trump now at 34%.

She tweeted, "Zero chance this is accurate. Zero. The poll must have only been conducted in the homes of Ben Carson, Kanye, that sheriff guy with the hat and those two Cubic Zirconia & Polyester-Spandex ladies."

You can almost smell the fear oozing from her keystrokes, competing with the hate that was already there. This is so blatantly racist that only a liberal could have spouted it. And, to my knowledge, not a single liberal has called her out on it, choosing to celebrate her instead. She wasn't just mocking the polls, as Newsweek suggests. She was mocking courageous black Americans.

First, she charmingly assumes that black Americans have no right to form their own political opinions and belong to the Democrats, which is an odd position for somebody who plays a "Republican" on CNN.

Second, she insults prominent and accomplished Americans who support the president and intentionally refuses to name three of them, even though surely she could have looked up the names of David Clarke and Diamond and Silk (Lynnette Hardaway and Rochelle Richardson), in seconds. She chose to marginalize them by focusing on appearance choices that offend her delicate sensibilities instead of engaging their arguments.

#1 We are their outgroup. Of course they are allowed to use ugly words that they deem off-limits to us. That's what you do to the outgroup. Don't expect them to abide by the rules they make: those rules are for US to follow.

#2 What is this person's job, exactly?
Is she a reporter?
If so, then why is she so rancid with vile and hostility and bias?
If not, then what expertise does she have to offer, on what subject, gained how?

#3 She's got blood coming out of her ... wherever.

Well, they did, for the first four score and seven years. Then the Republicans freed them.

#5 Liberals don't fear that blacks will vote for Trump. They fear blacks won't show up at all and they need them. They need the black vote badly.

#6 The Dems are afraid of a preference cascade - that moment when people realize that instead of being a single individual with a forbidden opinion, that pretty much everyone thinks the same way. The problem is that when you hear the rumble, the avalanche has already started. Kanye West is just the loud, visible tip of the iceberg, if I may stir my metaphors.

#7 #5 Bingo. Low turnout for Hillary by African-Americans explains Trump's victory in OH and WI.

Exceptionally high turnout for Obama by African-Americans in OH and other battleground states explains his easy victory in 2012.

If A-As are NOT excited about the Dem nominee, Trump wins-- period.

Hence the chatter about running Big Mike. The smarter Dems know they're screwed.

#8 Without the black vote at 90% or better, Democrats cannot win national elections. Period.

#9 ^ True-- allegiance is necessary, but it's not enough. Dems also need A-As to actually show up and vote. I forget the number but if A-A turnout in Cleveland and Milwaukee falls below a certain threshold percentage, the Dem presidential candidate will lose OH and WI.
