Watching people being interviewed on TV this morning on who and why were they voting for a particular party was amazing. One of the comments was – they were going to vote for the Democratic Party because they were third generation democrats.  The next reply was – I was born a democrat and I will die a democrat.  Can you image?  It is hard to believe that people do not think about what the democrats are doing to our country  – it doesn’t seem to matter to these people.

Trump claims ‘Party of Lincoln’ mantle in speech at black church

The Hill

Donald Trump on Saturday delivered a message of unity to a predominantly black church in Detroit, promising to carry on Abraham Lincoln’s legacy if elected president.

“Becoming the nominee of the party of Abraham Lincoln … has been the greatest honor of my life,” Trump told churchgoers at Great Faith Ministries, marking his first appearance at an African-American church.

“It is on his legacy that I hope to build the future of the party, but more importantly, the future of the country.”

As part of his continued effort to appeal to minority voters, the GOP presidential nominee visited the church on Saturday and taped an interview with Bishop Wayne T. Jackson beforehand.The interview won’t air for another week, but Trump afterwards addressed the congregation, promising that if elected president, he would unite the country.

“Our nation is too divided. We talk past each other, not to each other, and those who seek office do not do enough to step into the community and learn what is going on,” Trump said.

“I’m here today to learn so that we can together remedy injustice in any form, and so we can also remedy economics so African-American communities can benefit economically through jobs and income.”

Trump’s visit to the church was not without controversy. A New York Times report revealed that aides at the Republican National Committee and in Trump’s campaign had written an eight-page script detailing how the businessman should respond to a dozen questions Jackson submitted in advance.

(And pray tell me, what is wrong with documenting and putting in writing what he wants to achieve for the country so that the whole world can see how he wants to change things.  At least he is being transparent which is a lot different than Obama and Hillary.  Obama and Hillary are worried that the black people are going to wise up and some of them will leave the Democrat Plantation.)

The Clinton campaign slammed Trump for preparing a script, saying it shows how unfamiliar he is with the issues important to black voters.

(Ho! Ho!  The Bitch is getting worried.  If she and the democrats know so much about the black issues on the Plantation – they have had 50 years to make improvements.  Look at Chicago and how many people have been murdered and I haven’t heard any of the Dem’s, Obama, or Hillary make any suggestions. What about Baltimore and Ferguson – haven’t seen any conversation from those Dem’s?  Last I heard the mayor of Baltimore and Ferguson told the cops to stand down and let those fellows vent their frustration.  And guess what, they burned down their own town with the Dem mayor watching.  Is thatI the way of life they want to continue.)

“Donald Trump’s latest gimmick to act as if he cares about the black community is downright shameful, insulting and cowardly,” Clinton aide Marlon Marshall said in a statement this week.

(He does care – so eat your heart out Marion.  Those Dem’s run that Plantation and think they own them)

Jackson, too, faced criticism for inviting Trump to his church.

(Yeah! Those Dem’s are shaking in their boots – the blacks are finally waking up and seeing there are other options.)

He made clear the invitation wasn’t an endorsement, saying it was an opportunity to educate voters about what Trump can do for the community.

“This is not to put one up above the other but you gotta understand that we are in a race, and there’s two people in the race. This is to inform our community of what he will do if elected,” Jackson said on Facebook this week.

Trump has struggled with black voters throughout his campaign. A recent Public Policy Polling survey showed Trump with zero percent favorability among African-Americans.

Other polls have shown him in low single digits among black voters.

(That is fine – if the blacks are smart enough to get out off the Plantation – so be it – if not – they will be the ones who suffer the consequences.)

Trump has tried to appeal to black voters, including asking them “what the hell do you have to lose” by voting against Democrats. But he has faced criticism for speaking to them while at campaign events in front of predominantly white crowds.

On Saturday, the businessman tried to speak directly to African-Americans, promising to defend their right to worship and to bring back jobs to their city.

“I want to help you build and rebuild Detroit. We can do that,” Trump said.

“We’re one nation. When anyone hurts, we all hurt together. We’re all brothers and sisters, and we’re all created by the same god. We must love each other and support each other. We’re all in this together.”

Trump also placed a heavy focus on religion and Christianity, a rarity when the GOP nominee is on the campaign trail.

“I will always support your church, always, and defend your right to worship,” he said.

(That is another thing – Obama and Hillary Clinton have embraced the Muslim religion and are trying to rid America of Christianity.  Look at our Military – Obama and Hillary  have hosed Christianity, look at our schools – no Christianity but plenty of Islam injected every day, look at our landscape – they are bring these refugees in by the thousands.)

“Christian faith is not the past, but the present and the future.”

He opened his speech by calling the African-American church “one of God’s greatest gifts to America.”

“There is perhaps no action our leaders can take that would do more to heal our country and support our people than to provide a greater platform to the black churches and church goers.”

Trump came to the church with Omarosa Manigault, a former reality TV star who helps the campaign on black outreach, as well as Dr. Ben Carson, a former presidential rival turned Trump advisor and surrogate.

In the end, it will be the black people who have to make the final decision.
