Since 1964 republicans haven't gotten more than 15% of the black vote in a presidential election. Since 1964 blacks have overwhelmingly voted for and identified as democrats.
Keep spinning. SMH
spin is insisting that correlation and causation are the same
goldwater, Nixon, Nixon, Ford,Reagan, Reagan, bush,dole, bush, bush, McCain, Romney
considering the options,,,, voting the better candidate had everything to do with the individual and little with the party
Yeah sure it has everything to do with the individual and not the parties......Howard Stern's interview of people in Harlem showed that wasn't the case with the INDIVIDUALS he interviewed who had NO idea about the platforms of the candidates.
You won't accept FACTS even when the facts definitively prove your premise is wrong.
Now you are spinning away from the original discussion which was the correlation of the black vote and which party they vote for. You are the one trying to spin the discussion, as you always do when you are proven wrong, and inserting the causation of the vote.
You are also saying that the reason most blacks vote democratic is because the Democrat is "better candidate" which is subjective, not definitive. Elections results show that the Democrat wasn't the better candidate among those you listed.
well, if some people that Stern interviewed were clueless, that's proof that the black demographic is too
I didn't at all deny a correlation , I denied that it is evidence of blind party loyalty,,,,
blacks vote in many other elections comparatively to anyone else
based upon political philosophy, not party
the candidate that supports their political priorities will be elected
when there are only 2 candidates, at the end of the day,,,its not rocket science to know they will work to forward the party platforms,, which either do or don't line up with voters priorities
and the CANDIDATE whose focus lines with the voters priorities will get the vote REGARDLESS of party affiliation
if not, you would have to believe trump would be able to run and win support of democrats if running under democratic ticket and Hilary would run and win support of republicans if running republican
which, to me, is a ridiculous and insane assumption
there is nothing definitive in politics and voting except people of all races have political priorities and vote for the CANDIDATE who shares those priorities
prior to the sixties that may have been the republicans,, but as their platform of priorities shifted, so did their demographic support
at least at the level of the highest position in the land
the 'better' candidate at that level is the one whose campaign priorities connect with the voters,, plain and simple
