Back in September 2016 we noted that unprecedented black voter turnout was a huge component of Obama's victories in both 2008 and 2012. After running in the low-to-mid 50% range for decades, black voter participation surged to over 60% for Obama in 2008 and 2012, the highest levels ever recorded.
As we noted then, the key question for Hillary in 2016 was whether she should expect the same level of unprecedented black voter turnout that Obama was able to garner in his two elections? Now, courtesy of new 2016 voter data published today by the U.S. Census Bureau, we now know definitively that the answer to that question is a resounding 'NO'.
After surging to 62% in 2012, an all-time record high, Black voter turnout once again dipped back to its historical range in 2016 with only 56% of Black voters turning up to support Hillary. Just doing some simple math, there are roughly 245 million voting age people in the United States and just over 13% of them, or 32.5 million, are Black. Therefore, a 6% decline in turnout equates to roughly 2 million votes, the overwhelming majority of which would have undoubtedly gone to Hillary.

Thank goodness!
Nobody knows how to talk down to her supposed supporters better than Hillary. Throw in her arrogance, her blatant lying, her lack of transparency, and her disregard for any rule of law that others have to and feel obligated to follow and you have the perfect losing candidate.
Anyone surprised by this? She was an equal opportunity offender to everyone. Talk nice to their face, once they turned their backs - OH MY the beast was unleashed!
Should be no surprise to anyone...at all!
Plus who really cares anymore....enough of Hillary!
The noose was probably put up by the same protesters just to "justify" their "protest". It's so common these days it's almost assumed.
Soros planned, useful idiots supplied, mayhem delivered.
It's getting so cliche.
Ho hum.
Maybe black people finally realized the democrats are the most racist party. Bill Clinton wont even take a DNA test to prove he isnt Danney Williams' dad. Maury Povich could solve that in 2 minutes...
Susan Rice is worth 50 MILLION dollars as a public service worker.... insane how much democrats are worth and constantly put down 1% er. How did she make this much MONEY?? zero media coverage on it.
White people dont eithier, she's a stuck up liberal.b#!@$.she the Martha Stewart of politics...and her crappy attitude burned her..watch the devil wears Pravda she's on that level only without the heart..and her daughter is following in her footsteps.
Only snowflakes like her and the dead vote.
Prada is the label, Pravda is the news service.
Pravda is communist propaganda, perfect for the post.
nobody likes her
