Did Trump lose the black vote and the woman vote this week?

Today at the Black journalists conference Trump went a rant questioning why Kamala Harris is now claiming to be a black woman when she has always identified herself as an Indian. And at another interview Trump said Harris will be thought of as a little play thing by World leaders. I think those 2 things will cost him a lot of black and woman's votes. Cheers!

    He never had the majority of either - what remains to be seen is how many of them, particularly the younger demographic, will actually turn up. Apathy and the gerrymander built into the EC got Trump across the line in 2016, a record voter turnout saw him ousted in 2020.

    There is no gerrymandering of the EC....the state lines do not move which is what gerrymandering is moving the district lines to keep the incumbents in office.

    2016 also was a record turnout. And 2024 will likely be as well, people tired of open borders, high gas, high food and housing.  This post was edited by my2cents at August 1, 2024 5:29 AM MDT

    "Built in", I said. The redneck States get a disproportionate level of representation and that goes back to the "three-fifths-of-a-person" days.
    Winner takes all is also something that needs to change. In 2000, Florida (allegedly) elected Bush by a bee's genitalia - it took several recounts. Assuming that those were fair, a sane system would have sent 14 red and 13 blue electors to the College - that's the way the State voted. The "will of the people" was completely ignored and Bush got all 27.

    The 3/5th of a person was for the benefit if the North or the slaves.  It limited the count for the distribution of House of Representatives.  Personally,  I don't think slaves should have been counted at all towards the distribution of Representatives.  They were not representing the slaves at all. 


    Each state is free distribute their EC votes as the want.  But it must be decided before the election  not after based on the state results.  But why would a small population state remove what little influence they have by splitting their EC votes? 

    So of course,  you think Delaware should have gave 1 EC vote to Trump and 2 to Biden in 2020.

    If that was that was the way votes went in Delaware, YES! As should NY and CA, both blue States but have conservative elements in each. Then Texas and the Carolinas get some Dem electors as well - fewer than GOP of course, those states have been red for more than fifty years.

    He father is Jamaican.   Her mother is from India. 

    She throughout her career identified as Indian...until recently. The press referred to her as Indian until recently. 


    She was not raised by her Jamaican Father. She was raised by her Indian Mother and Stepfather.  


    Personally,  I don't care what color/race she is or identifies with more.  What matters is she is a failure.  And cannot be POTUS.

    That she was not raised by her Jamaican father makes here no less half Black.

    Did I say she was not 1/2 black?   She is certainly biologically 1/2 black.  
    It is about her until recently only referring to herself as Indian.   Then going to the south and suddenly she has a southern accent. And now, she refers to herself as black.  She will change to whatever she thinks the crowd in front of her wants.  She has no foundation.   

    She failed on the border. She has failed on the economy.  She lied to the people about Biden's condition.  She put more than 1000 men in prison for smoking pot.  And then laughed about smoking it herself. She slept here way up the ladder in CA.    Not about her color/race about her failures.  SHE IS A FAILURE.

    You say that as though Trump is a perfect human being.  Irrespective of what she has done in her personal life, it doesn't compare to the immoral, felonious, lying, thieving, scamming, conman that is Donald Trump.

    Lol.  Trump is far from perfect.   And Harris is also far from perfect.   But Trump delivered for America , Harris has done nothing good for us. 

    She did not even have the guts to show up to a group that she knew would give her softball questions.  Instead, she went to a sorority meeting.   Trump went knowing it was a group completely opposed to him.

    She IS Vice President. She was put in charge of decreasing illegal border crossings.  She says she has been involved with helping the Biden administration decisions and policies.  

    She compared ICE to the KKK. She helped raise money to bailout people who were rioting and destroying property etc.  She helped the first illegal immigrant become a lawyer.  She purposely removed illegal criminal record to prevent them from being deported. She put more 1000 men in prison for smoking pot. She has said she will enact a mandatory gun buyback in her first 100 days.  She supports eliminating all private insurance.  The green new deal.  

    She has not even had the courage to do even one interview with anyone since Biden announced to was not running for reelection. This post was edited by my2cents at August 2, 2024 11:34 AM MDT

    Trump had four years to do something about the border and did nothing, even when a BI-PARTISAN committee had a solution.  McCarthy said Trump didn't want to do it because he didn't want to give Biden the credit for it.  Your guy is all hat and no cattle.

    Trump did nothing???? Trump gave us the most secure border in my lifetime and probably yours.  

    The supposed bipartisan border deal did not secure the border.  It codified catch and release. It got rid of remain in Mexico, it kept the Biden immigration parole in effect (basically amnesty by the government dropping the case) 

    That is another Harris said she does not think it should be a crime to enter the US without permission.   So basically open borders for everybody.   If Biden did so well securing the border why is Harris running away from the Border Czar title the media etc gave her?

    No point in discussing this any further because I could show you something sent from above and you wouldn't believe it was true.  You see what you want to see.  Unfortunately, that isn't always what IS.

    Donald Trump: He promised to cut the deficit. He added $8T to it. promised to build a wall. He only did 458 miles out of 2,000. Most of it was repair or replacement, not new. He promised to make Mexico pay. They didn't. He promised to unveil a new healthcare plan. It didn't exist. He promised a middle-class tax cut. He cut taxes for the rich. The middle class is paying for it. He said he wouldn't play golf as President. He made 250 visits(way more than Obama) to his own golf clubs. It cost taxpayers $150 million. He said he'd increase economic growth by 4%. He didn't. President Biden did. He promised an infrastructure plan. He had none. President Biden signed a massive one. He promised to hire "the best people." He fired 3/4 of them and then said they were the worst ever. He promised to bring down the price of prescription drugs. He didn't: President Biden did. He promised a Hillary lock-up. It didn't happen. Promised we'd win the trade war with China. We didn't, It cost about a quarter million jobs and hurt Americans not help them. He promised his corporate tax cuts would help and benefit Workers and corporations would use that money to invest in American workers. They didn't, they used that money to buy back stocks. He promised to bring back and revive the coal industry. Never happened - more coal jobs were lost during his presidency.  He promised to drain the swamp. He didn't: He WAS the swamp. Jan 6th…never forget!!

    They all claim they are gonna cut the deficit and none of them do it. I don't He care about it anymore...it is just a talking point for the opposite party. 
     
    It was more fence than we had before...and replacing a vehicle barrior 1-4 ft posts or x-posts with a pedestrian barrier (20 ft bollards) is a new fence, whether they choose to count it that way or not. Mexico paid their soldiers to defend our border....much more value.  MO just won a case forcing the rest of the wall to be built...
     
    A President is not a king. He cannot just remove/and replace a program without passage from Congress. John McCain was the deciding vote on that.
     
    Everyone got a tax cut rich, poor, corporate, etc..which it what he promised. I know I got one. (I am not rich) SALT deduction was removed, make your state cut their tax rates. There was also a credit on my electric bill from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act...
    I don't care if he or any other President plays golf or any other form of recreation (they need something for stress release)
    He said he'd increase economic growth by 4%. He got to 3.8% much higher than Obama/Biden. Biden only got it becauae we opened up after the covid BS lockdowns. Now he is back to that 2% "new normal."
    He promised an infrastructure plan. Pelosi and Shumer blocked it. 
    He promised to hire "the best people." He fired 3/4 of them and then said they were the worst ever. (It is a surprise just how deep the swamp is) His pick of Vance is proof he learned some from the past. 
     
    He promised to bring down the price of prescriptions. (Biden took credit for what Trump already did) 
    He promised a Hillary lock-up. It didn't happen. (That was for not gonna happen....everyone knew that) 
    Biden kept the tarriffs against China...must not be that bad. 
    Corporate tax cuts caused them to raise pay for low level workers, they gave workers bonuses. 
     He promised to bring back and revive the coal industry. Jobs were 50.8k in Jan 2017 and 52.7k at the end of 2019 that is an increase. Then covid hit and all.jobs fell..not just coal. Prevcovid coal jobs had increased. Coal jobs are currently 43k so more jobs that Biden/Harris did not recover from the pandemic.  
     
    He promised to drain the swamp. 
    Jan 6th…never forget!! Pelosi denied NG before Jan 6th....Swampy. We are still working on that had some go down the primary drain just recently. President's are not kings. The people have to vote the swamp out.

    The only candidates for whom the people can vote are swamp creatures, so no choice there.

    Lowest approval was not Trump:
    Bush Sr
    Bush W
    Truman
    Nixon
    Ford
    Carter

    Vacations days:
    Both Bushes had more.

    Most golf in order:
    Woodrow Wilson
    Eisenhower
    Obama
    Trump 

    The lie counters also claim Obama only told 7 lies in 8 years...they need to learn to count. 
    Cabinet swamp creatures quite because Trump would not start wars or do other swampy things they wanted.

    The rest is lawfare.  If he was not running they would not have made legal charges.

    Thanks for all the support for Harris. She already had my vote, but this just makes me feel even better about it.

    She almost lost my support when I heard she put more then a 1000 men in prison for smoking pot. But then I thought – different county different laws and she was probably just doing her job. So I still support her 100%. Cheers and happy weekend!

    I can't find proof of that. I don't think possession of pot carries a prison sentence in California or even if it's a crime. I don't know her record as district attorney, but as Attorney General she prosecuted just under 2000 dealers and 45 got prison sentences. She is an advocate of legalizing recreational cannabis,  which might cut into your business, and she has openly talked about smoking it. And yes, she was doing her job.
