Touching the 'third rail' of Republican politics
Politicians often call Social Security the “third rail of American politics,
inferring 'touching this issue' will destroy their careers.
But, there has been another "third rail', exclusive to Republican politicians,
one they fear to touch knowing there is nothing to gain.
This has been the instruction of political consultants who advise the
downside goes so much deeper than any upside would provide and the
reason no Republican ventures into this treacherous political territory,
the quality of Black lives!
Until now!
This year Donald Trump is not only touching this 'third rail', he is carrying it
from state to state, speaking truth to power....the power of the Democrat fraud,
they are the party of the poor, primarily Black constituents who overwhelmingly
support Democrat candidates at 90%!
But, this does not deter Trump. Perhaps its the challenge, but I believe it is
something more, he sees it a disgrace any political party would treat any
constituency as Democrats treat Black communities.
Trump brings with him the evidence, the staggering statistics, the unemployment,
the crime, the drugs, the murders, the poverty. He boldly speaks of these as
indicators of the failure of Democrat governance, the common denominator in the
worst cities in our country.
Until now, no Republican touched this 'rail', believing any benefit would be more
costly, and outrage Blacks, that might find it insulting!
But, Trump sees the issue as an opportunity, not just to pick up Black votes,
but also pick up Black lives!
One thing of note, Democrats have not responded. They can't. They cannot point
to any success stories within these communities, aside from the 30% that work
in the public sector, avoiding the 50% that remain in poverty.
Will Trump gain more Black votes than any Republican since Reagan?
We will have to wait until Nov. 8th.
One thing for certain, Trump's election will mean more to Black constituency than
any other. They are the worse off, need the most help, with the most to gain!
