And because the presence / absence of a black candidate in the Presidential primary is the only thing that counts.

Except, of course, that 2 of the candidates in the top 10 of the Dem field were black (Cory Booker, Kamala Harris). As I said previously, get your basic facts right.

According to Bloomberg News last month:
Over the past 12 months, wage gains for nonwhites have been not only substantially higher than those of whites, but also higher than economists’ estimates of inflation plus productivity. That implies that minority workers are getting a greater share of GDP.
Maybe that explains why according to the latest Gallup poll Trump's approval rating among non-whites has jumped nearly 50% over the past year (from 14% to 20%). An Emerson poll has the approval rating among blacks being much higher -- at 34%.
Likewise, it might explain why a Rasmussen poll taken this summer found that 33% think that things have gotten better for young blacks under Trump (I wonder how high that number would be if the MSM wasn't always trying to ignore or minimize all the good news) whereas during Obama's last term in office only 13% thought that life had improved since he was elected.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostMeanwhile, in the real world, unemployment among blacks and Hispanics are at all time lows. Further, unemployment gaps between both blacks and whites as well as Hispanics and whites have reached all-time lows as well and incomes of black Americans have gone up by nearly $1200 per family adjusted for inflation (during the Obama Administration incomes of black Americans fell over $900 per family adjusted for inflation). It isn't just that the job market has been good for minorities under Trump -- it has been historically good.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostDepending on the liberal candidate, I'm hearing that blocks of blacks may simply stay home, if they don't show up to vote for Trump.

I think the idea of a lot of blacks staying home and not voting at all is far more plausible than Trump getting a substantial portion of the black vote.

More on Democrats’ Diversity Blues
The top Democratic candidates will soon take the stage at the next debate, and oh boy, are party leaders squirming. Up until late last week, when Andrew Yang made the cutoff by a hair, all six of those making their pitch were white—#debatesowhite, as the hashtag called it. Worse yet, half of those Caucasians are old enough to be carrying Medicare cards. As Frank Bruni wrote in last week’s Sunday column, “for a party that celebrates diversity, pitches itself to underdogs and prides itself on being future-minded and youth-oriented, that’s a freaky, baffling turn of events.”
Some blamed the freaky turn on billionaire money crowding out the merely rich little guys, while others pointed a finger at the DNC for a dysfunctional qualifying system and a primary calendar privileging Iowa and New Hampshire, both largely white states. Also popular is the theory of “electability”—if voters’ top priority is nominating someone who can beat Donald Trump, white old-timers seem like the safest bet. But the facts behind #debatesowhite suggest that, despite the best efforts of progressives and the party establishment to hype 2020 candidates in terms of their race, gender, and LGBTQ status, the Democratic rank-and-file have limited use for identity politics.
Remember that the Dems started the year with a historically diverse field: two blacks, an Asian, a Hispanic, and an out gay man. In the following months, a sizable cluster of women joined the fray. Finally, Americans would see a field that “looked like America.” Yet 12 months later, all the nonwhite candidates—except Yang, who has explicitly disavowed identity politics—are either going or gone. Even Kamala Harris, whose Jamaican father and Indian mother made her intersectionally intersectional—black, Asian, female, and immigrant to boot—will not be standing in front of a podium.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
