"...Race-baiting their black voting bloc, and pandering to their white voters’ smug sense of moral superiority, is Democrats’ single most important electoral advantage.
What is unique is that we finally have a candidate who can fight back, and fight back hard.
At the Faith and Freedom Summit last Friday (which was very poorly reported), Trump didn’t counter the racist charges; he did jujitsu with them, using the Muslim immigration issue to appeal directly for black votes. That’s the way you dominate the conversation and win elections.
Donald Trump challenged Hillary Clinton
Donald Trump challenged Hillary Clinton
“…to replace her support for increased refugee admissions… with a new job program for our inner cities.” Clinton “wants a 500% increase in Syrian refugees to come into our country.”Clinton’s plan to resettle 65,000 Syrian migrants would cost U.S. taxpayers over $42 billion over the course of the migrants’ lifetimes, based on projections from Heritage Foundation …
“We have to take care of the people who are here,” Trump explained. “We have to temporarily stop this whole thing with what’s going on with refugees, where we don’t know where they come from… We have to take a rest. We have to take a time out. We have to use the money to take care of our poorest Americans and work with them, so they can come out of this horrible situation that they’re in.”
Why is this brilliant?
Republicans have tried to ignore the racist label or laugh it off.
That doesn’t work.
When someone libels you, being defensive is fatal.
Trump is smarter.
He goes on the offensive.
Talk to black voters yourself, directly, and with heart.
Republicans have made the answer be “no” by writing off the black vote.
Republicans fail when they talk in bromides about opportunity and think blacks will feel included.
Trump wasn’t just promising money; he went on to attack the failure of inner-city Democratic regimes and offer a conservative critique of black suffering.

From his speech:
Read on!Regulation, bureaucracy, government control and open borders have economically destroyed our inner cities. Her [Clinton’s] policies will be a crushing blow to all poor people in this country. Her education policies, her economic policies, her immigration policies and her trade policies will plunge our poor African American and Hispanic communities into turmoil and even worse, despair—believe me, you look at what’s going on..."
