“If he were the Republican nominee he would get the highest percentage of black votes since Ronald Reagan in 1980,” said Republican messaging guru Frank Luntz, referring to the year Reagan won 14 percent of that bloc of voters. “They listen to him. They find him fascinating, and in all the groups I have done, I have found Obama voters, they could’ve voted for Obama twice, but if they’re African-American they would consider Trump.”
Another longtime Republican pollster and veteran of multiple presidential campaigns has tested Trump’s appeal to blacks and Hispanics and come to the same conclusion. “He behaves in a way that most minorities would not expect a billionaire to behave,” explained the pollster, who spoke on condition of anonymity to avoid damaging relationships within the party. “He’s not a white-bread socialite kind of guy.”
Tell me the protests that have taken place at campaign speeches for Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, Chris Christie, Carly Fiorina, Mike Huckabee, and Marco Rubio? Also, let's note that most of these people have explicitly said negative things about the movement.
IDK. If Bernie is having this hard of time appealing to minorities, I think it would be even harder for Trump with all of his issues. He would need to do a massive campaign in Urban areas and appeal with a primarily economic message. He has no chance with social appeals or his current rhetoric about national security.
The Democratic nom will get 90+ percent of the black vote. The black people talking about voting for Trump are probably the ones who won't even show up.

They showed up for Obama. They'll show up for Trump too. Trump is counting on black support to win the election.
