These guys are not buying into the Trump is racist narrative.

National Black Republican Association Endorses Donald J. Trump

 
Announcing National Black Republican Association Endorses Donald J. Trump 
By Frances Rice 
 

We, the grassroots activists of the National Black Republican Association, are pleased to announce our endorsement of Donald J. Trump for President of the United States of America. 

As citizens who happen to be black, we support Mr. Trump because he shares our values. We, like Mr. Trump, are fiscally conservative, steadfastly pro-life and believers in a small government that fosters freedom for individuals and businesses, so they can grow and become prosperous. 

We are deeply concerned about illegal immigration, a major cause of high black unemployment, especially among black youth. 

Black Americans across America are beginning to wake up and see clearly the reality of what is happening in black neighborhoods. Democrats have run black communities for the past 60 years and the socialist policies of the Democrats have turned those communities into economic and social wastelands, witness Detroit, Baltimore and South Chicago. 

We believe that Mr. Trump has demonstrated that he can push back against the mainstream media, end political correctness and free black communities from the destructive grip of socialist Democrats. 

We urge our fellow black Americans to seize control over their own destiny and leverage their vote the way other groups do. It is way past time black Americans stop having their vote taken for granted by Democrats, hold politicians accountable for the content of their policies and not vote merely based on the label of their party.

Considering that, according to Trump The One-Eyed King, his base would still support him even if he shot someone, you might have a point. Though the undecided will likely not be so impressed by him remaining mum.

I can certainly see why the base likes him. He lies through his teeth, and when confronted with his obvious lies ends up denying he ever said it, and thus lying some more. But hey, the promises are full of superlatives and that tends to impress some.

Even the beeb is having to change its narrative.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-35388292

Is Donald Trump now unstoppable?


You know that moment on an aircraft where there are three choices of main meal, and you've chosen the chicken and tomato pasta bake.

But by the time the cabin services person gets to your seat, you are told the bake has gone and all you can have is the tasteless salmon and dill or the irradiated, overcooked beef.

Yes, you're disappointed. But you are also immediately in a new mindset. The choice is no longer about what do I want the most. It's what do I mind the least.

The Republican Party establishment finds itself in that position now on the eve of the Iowa caucus.

The palatable, easy-to-digest candidates - a Marco Rubio, a Jeb Bush, even a John Kasich or Chris Christie - are not on the menu.

There is only so long that you can look at the polls and say one of them will break through to challenge the two insurgents, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz.

As things stand, rather than the "moderates" getting together and trying to work out which of them has the best chance to face down Trump or Cruz, they seem to have formed themselves into a circular firing squad and are busy spraying each other with gunfire.

So it's hard to overstate the significance of what has been unfolding over the past few days. It is the grudging acceptance by significant parts of the Republican establishment that not only is Mr Trump the least worst option - he is virtually unstoppable in the race to be their candidate.

The conclusion they've reached is they can live with Mr Trump but they can't with Mr Cruz. Mr Trump will cut deals and compromise; Mr Cruz won't. Mr Trump is biddable; Mr Cruz is not.

Pretty much. You're not the first to expose the forum to Breitbart pablum. A man warned is half saved.

For all the balance that you supposedly seek, the contributions to that aim are remarkably one-sided and similar.

I was answering this alteration to my statement. 
Trump plays the media public like a fiddle. They are such fools. 
The idea that the public who support Trump, the tens of thousands that show up to his rallies, are fools being played by him shows a disdain for their intelligence. It is exactly the sort of behavior that generates so much support for him. The silent majority are sick of being taken for fools by the establishment.

"The public" is pretty much everyone in a state/nation, including those considered "liberal".
