Fox News - "I have a great relationship with the blacks," Donald Trump said on an Albany, N.Y. radio station Thursday morning. "I've always had a very great relationship with the blacks. But unfortunately, it seems the numbers that you cite are very, very frightening numbers." The numbers Trump is referring to are part of a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday. It shows 95 percent of black voters in New York State approve of how Barack Obama is handling his job as president. Only 4 percent do not. In sharp contrast, of white voters polled, 42 percent approve of the job the president is doing, while 53 percent do not. "I think it's a pretty sad poll when you see that," Trump said, pointing to the 2008 election outcome. "When you look at Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton did so much for the black population, so much, and she got very few votes." "One would always hope that votes are on the basis of merit," Dicker responded, "Not on race or anything."
Oh Donald, no, no no. I really wanted this to work out, I did. But you can't go around calling attention to your biggest weakness (aside from a lack of political correctness and an appealing hairstyle) like that and expect to run a country, just isn't going to happen.
Take me for example. I'm not running around work trying to convince my bosses that I'm not on the internet all the time. That would be foolish, next thing you know they'd be creeping on my cube randomly just to try and verify my facts. That's the last thing I need. I'm on the net from the minute I step in the office. Sometimes even earlier, I just leave ESPN open so I don't need to waste time double clicking and typing in the address the next morning.
Similarly, you shouldn't be calling your relationship with blacks into the limelight. People are going to check your facts, they're going to notice all the low income housing neighborhoods your casinos and high rises have bull dozed and gentrified. And they're certainly going to notice the fact that just last week you were calling into question the citizenship of our nation's first black president.
And don't think that thinly veiled shot at blacks being racist for supporting Obama over Hillary is going to go unnoticed now either.
