Newt Gingrich Thinks Trump Could Have HUUGE Appeal To ‘The Blacks’

Newt Gingrich used his special white-guy insight into the black community and predicted that Donald Trump’s special brand of outreach could mean more votes from African Americans “than any other Republican in modern times.”

Trump wouldn’t need a lot of black votes to beat the other Republicans. Since 2000, the earliest year Gallup tracked the black vote, the highest won by any Republican was George W. Bush, in 2004, with 7%. But even getting to 7% looks difficult for Trump. A recent poll found Trump with a 0% favorability rate among African Americans.

Furthermore, while Trump plans to go through the motions of reaching out to black Americans, it’s really little more than a photo op. A New York Times report found that for his visit to a black church today, the candidate demanded questions in advance and the campaign scripted his answers. In reality, Trump’s so-called outreach to African Americans is much more likely a play for wavering white Republicans.

Of course, Fox host Eric Bolling mentioned none of that last night as he discussed Trump with supporter Newt Gingrich.

But even by Fox standards, Gingrich’s optimism was over the top:

GINGRICH: Donald Trump is the first Republican I can remember who is explicitly saying to the African American community, things can be better, but not with Democrats in charge. If he continues to say it and if he has the courage to go back to places like Chicago and say it, I think he’s gonna get far more votes in the black community than any other Republican in modern times.

Actually, Trump's line is more "Things couldn't be worse" than "Things can be better." But Bolling let that go, too.

Hear, hear, David: anybody who would trash his country just for the fun of it doesn’t sound like a patriot to me either. But, then, I believe Mark was trying to be cute.

The main reason I want Trump to win is so I can listen to the lefties squeal and whine for the next 4 years!

“I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and at Trump Plaza — black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. Those are the kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else. . . . Besides that, I’ve got to tell you something else. I think that the guy is lazy. And it’s probably not his fault because laziness is a trait in blacks. It really is; I believe that. It’s not anything they can control.”

— Donald Drumpf as quoted by John O’Donnell

Now, Newtie — who WOULDN’T have “YUUUGE” appeal to “the blacks” after a statement like that . . .

I find it ironic to watch as the media express their approval of Trump’s speech at that “black church” (in Ben Carson’s home turf and clearly upmarket folks). Had a gag moment when he praised the black churches for having had such a positive impact on America’s morals … my thoughts went immediately to Reverend Wright. I also happen to think that the civil rights movement was a high “moral” moment in America’s history, correcting a couple of centuries of totally immoral exploitation of humans by humans. However, the likes of Trump would have been financing the death squads, not the marchers for freedom.

Lol, Julie.

Q. What is the difference between George Washington, Richard Nixon and Donald Trump?

A. Washington couldn’t tell a lie, Nixon couldn’t tell the truth, and Trump doesn’t know the difference.

Newt is infringing on Giuliani’s territory.

If Hillary can get past the never ending email scandal and through the debates, Trump is toast. End of discussion.

Whistling past that scary old graveyard. Newt can whistle a cheerful tune.

Newt is setting himself up for a repeat of the 2012 election, wherein he and others confidently predicted a Romney landslide. If this election goes the way it really feels it will go, I can’t imagine how he saves face this time.

Frankly…if anyone would know how to appeal to blacks, it would be Newtie.

This is a sign desperation, it’s all BS.
