He knows the polls as well as anyone and knows he has zero appeal to that demographic. <br /><br />Trumps trips to Detroit and Mexico were designed to provide cover both for him and for his real target demographic - the angry White bigot who may not want to be called a racist for voting Trump. Trump and his supporters can now point to this "outreach" to Blacks and Hispanics and deny bigotry.

As many have pointed out, he's not really trying to appeal to alack voters, he's only trying to reassure disaffected white Republicans that he's not a bigot. And good luck with that one....Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15309809679331128837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23253782.post-59040316165055586192016-09-06T09:28:37.291-04:002016-09-06T09:28:37.291-04:00hi anon...actually the low information voters supp...hi anon...actually the low information voters support Donald Trump.

These attacks ads aren't going to work. It's not 1995 anymore. The media screaming "RACIST RACIST" at the top of their lungs day in day out, might work on a low information voter but no one else believes them. You talk about the Cons here in Canada using dog whistle politics (which is absolutely true) but don't think the left doesn't do it just as much.<br /><br />Did you see how Reuters cut the live feed of Trump while he was being blessed in that Detroit church? The Lying Press is pulling out all the stops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGTzjZqfZUAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
