Every election, Democratic candidates promise nonwhite voters the moon in return for their votes. And most of the time, a large majority of those voters comply.
According to Pew Research, 91% of black voters and 66% of Hispanic voters voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016. Only 6% of blacks and 28% of Hispanics voted for President Trump.
It’s understandable. Republicans don’t normally spend much money, time, or effort in minority communities. They figure they’re going to get trounced there, so why bother?
But the absence of any serious Republican message to minority voters means that many of them only hear what Democrats want them to hear. When they call Republicans racists, no one shows up to rebut it. When they promise better schools, more jobs, higher wages, and a better life through bigger government and higher taxes on someone else, often no one is there to say, “Hey, wait a minute — how’s that been working out?”

If neo-nazis and kkk members are voting for one political party, it makes sense that they would vote for the other party...
The Democratic party was formed by the KKK, so why would the group who formed the Democratic party vote for their opposition? Explain please, I would love to hear it or do you not know the history of the Democrats?

DEMOCRATS have lied to nonwhites so badly making them think life is going to be a free ride just because they are of color. There just ain't no free lunch, regardless of your skin color. The Republicans could and would do so much more for nonwhites if only given the chance. Yes, we promise.
