(1,663 posts)that the share of the black vote falling from 12.9% of the electorate to about 11.9% (about 765,000 votes over all) is reason why tRump is in office and not Hillary, then we are truly in trouble. Let's look at the facts.....all of them. Gary Johnson got over 4 million votes and Jill received about 1.2 million. Each one of them received enough votes to impact the states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, and Michigan. Considering where the majority of black folks live and are registered to vote (for example, there's not that many of us in Wisconsin but there are a ton of us in Louisiana and all throughout the south) and given the fact that the vast majority of white people of all ages and social standing voted for the Orangeman, I would say that you beef is with them. By "them", I mean white folks. Not black people. Have you seen a tRump rally? Ever?
