I’m pretty far from a troll and I think that is obvious. You only call yourself out by trying to reduce me to that level. ---

She is all over the Progress channel, no one really follows print media now as I’ve said. That is one of the blind spots of this board. This board is self-selecting when they should be trying to adapt to the changes. The pool of posters has shrunk and will continue to shrink as any new poster is attacked. Zero chance this board makes it another 3 years. ---

As I said, it could… If there was just that stupid and racist attack from Trump, but the reality is that the few YouTubers posting that Trump “won” (how come he can win when it was not a debate?) are willfully ignoring many other racist and old fogey things Trump did say then. Again, this assumption that this is a tactic that may work would be somehow plausible if that was just what Trump talked about, but that was not just that. > **[Incredulous laughter, audible gasps: Trump’s performance at Black...](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/31/trump-nabj-black-journalists-chicago)** > > The former president snapped and snarled through his interview – and looked for all the world like an old crank > When Trump finally did take the stage, he played the hits – vowing (again) to close the border, cut inflation (how?) and “drill, baby, drill”. Pitted against the three-woman interview team that also included Semafor’s Kadia Goba and Fox News’s Harris Faulkner, he reserved all of his invective for the “rude” Scott – who seemed unhappy at having to go through with this farce and stood firm in the face of increasing attacks. > > When she cut Trump off mid-digression in hopes of pivoting to another question before time ran out, Trump snapped: “You’re the one who held me up!” In their back and forth, Trump seemed to have another Black woman in his sights. He might have spent more time directing his attacks at Harris if he wasn’t still so fixated on beating up on Joe Biden for being old; never mind that all his complaining about not being able to hear the questions on stage made him look even older in those moments. After about 35 minutes, thankfully, it was over. > > In theory, being interrogated by three Black women should have worked against Trump. Doubtless his many supporters will take his performance as confirmation of his fitness for the fight against Harris. But for the many in the room who could see past the bluster, Trump looked for all the world like an old crank who can barely hear or have a thought without somehow making it racist. Asked by Goba how he’d know if he was too old to stay in the job, Trump didn’t hesitate to take another shot at Scott. “Look, if I came on stage and got treated so rudely as _this_ woman,” he said, still smarting from her pointed line of questioning. _That_ was the payoff the NABJ had hoped for, and Trump never looked more exposed. ---

You are witty with the replies, I like that actually. I wait until tomorrow when the people that have Sirius/XM look at my timestamps and hear it themselves. I wish I could post them in the main thread, but I think the word will still get out. You will be the first one that will have to apologize. ---

Why are you asking me what’s next? We will have to wait until election day to see the actual numbers. I’ve already said that I think Trump messed up the advice he was given, but they made a play. ---

An underwhelming point to make when some black youtubers you used as evidence are clearly willfully ignoring the racism that they are condoning when supporting Trump. ---

I know, the board picks and chooses which YouTube they like, and I think that others can clearly see that. I am now backing it with Sirius/XM timestamps of well-known people speaking on radio, not typing. Dean is also goes on all the TV networks. Is that good enough? ---

Nope, that the facts are that Trump did said other racist things and then some YouTubers ignore that so they can continue to support Trump, is evidence that they are not deserving of any attention. They are are really just monumental tools. ---

This is where you are wrong, and we are going by the last Presidential election since those are the only numbers we have. Thanks for this, I understand why this board is having a hard time wrapping their head around this. Trumps messages resonate with at least 10% of 18-35, maybe up too 40-year-old black men. They don’t see him as being racist against them. A lot of them that will actually vote are ex-military, as well. The elders are gone now, I’m an elder now, and if they even really knew them at all, the old stories are lost. It is a generational change within in the black community and at least 10% of then are leaning maga.
