A Lot Of Black Republicans Running!

John James is a Republican senate candidate running for the seat occupied by Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI). He hopes he can peel away Black votes.

DONALD J. TRUMP HAS A 51% CHANCE OF WINNING REELECTION.

Trump only needs at least 10% of the Black vote. Given that he's going to try and tarnish Joe Biden's record as a senator and former vice president, he's likely gonna pull at least 5% of the vote.

A handful of Black men and women support Trump. He enjoys Black people wearing them cheap-ass Make America Great Hats. And sure enough, he's gonna start his rounds of endorsing Black Republicans running against Democrats in the 2020 Congressional and Senate races.

Today, I can assure you they dozens of Black Republicans running for Congress and U.S. Senate.

The Washington Times reports that there are more black Americans running as Republicans for public office than ever before.

Nothing like this has happened since the 1930s, when black Americans switched from a GOP that ignored them to back Democrat Franklin D. Roosevelt for president.

Some of the most notable candidates have been in the news for some sort of controversy.

Peggy Hubbard, a pro-Confederate supporting Black Republican wants to take on Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL).

John James, Peggy Hubbard, Bryon Donalds, Mark Robinson, Brad Mole, Angela Stanton-King, Errol Webber. Tamika Hamilton, Ronda Kennedy, Burgess Owens, Omari Faulkner, Kimberly Klacik, Wesley Hunt, Aja Smith, Antoine Tucker, Jeffery Dove, Jr., Lacy Johnson, Madison Downs, Leon Benjamin and Jarome Bell are some of the latest Blacks running for Congress as Republicans.

Peggy Hubbard is the woman who had a YouTube video go viral after she criticized Black Lives Matter during the Michael Brown shooting. She said that Brown was no "angel" and sided with the racist Ferguson city government. She is from East St. Louis, Illinois and is trying to run for higher office.

Kimberly Klacik is the agitator who partnered with gay far-white agitator Scott Pressler to demonize the late Elijah Cummings over the western neighborhoods of Baltimore. She is trying to run for the seat he held. Klacik made a viral video of illegal dumping and trashed row neighborhoods around west Baltimore. It caught attention from Fox News, Terrence K. Williams and Trump himself. She lost to Kweisi Mfume. She said that she will run again. Rep. Mfume (D-MD) is signalling he will run for reelection to serve a full term.

Burgess Owens is a frequent commentator on that far-white annoyance Sean "Softball" Hannity's carnival of bullshit. He is running for the Utah 4th Congressional District that is occupied by Rep. Ben McAdams (D-UT). He beat former Black Republican lawmaker Mia Love in 2018.

Lacy Johnson was the guy Trump retweeted. He is running against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). He is trying to play upon Omar's support for Palestine, her support of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and the fact she's a Muslim. He will try to paint her as a socialist anti-American who don't support Trump and sides with terrorists.

Fox commentator Kimberly Klacik is hoping to take a seat once occupied by Elijah Cummings. She will take on Rep. Kweisi Mfume (D-MD) who won the special election to fill the seat. They will face off in November.

John James lost to Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) in 2018. He feels like it could be his time now. He is now trying to unseat Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI) in a state that could determine the election He is trailing Peters by eight points. Peters knows the danger of populism and the very fact that Republicans are willing to vote anything in to protect Trump, James is a formidable adversary. James appears on Fox News frequently and has criticized Trump over how he treats Black people.

Yeah, it seems like Trump still has support from Blacks. Even though, Biden has about 94% of the Black vote, the 6% of the vote is still riding with Trump despite the massive incompetence with COVID-19.

Many of these candidates are running on culture war issues like the usual:

Democrats are the party of slavery.
Democrats haven't done nothing for Black America.
Barack Obama failed Black America.
Democrats want Blacks to stay poor and needy.
Blacks are emboldened to plantation politics.

The usual nonsense that wins over a few Black votes but ultimately a rousing support of white voters in suburban and rural America.

Black Republicans are few. They only make up a portion of a monolithic group that supported Democrats throughout 1960s to present. Trump only managed to peel off only 15% of the vote in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.

He's willing to do that again.

Lacy Johnson is hoping to unseat Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN). He will use the Republican playbook to tar Omar as an anti-American who supports terrorists. He is using the culture war as his ploy to win votes.

Don't underestimate the power of the Black vote. So far, Black voters in the Democratic Primaries overwhelmingly chose Biden over Sanders. Sanders failed to win over Blacks and his Bernie Bros kind of made that possible.

Republicans are very nervous about this election. Trump failure to control the pandemic has made them very uneasy. So now instead of talking about the economy or the pandemic, expect Republicans and their Black allies to drive up culture war issues.

Obamagate is one of the many culture war distractions we're gonna hear about.

Then of course Tara Reade will be another distraction.

Finally, the allegations of Biden's health and mental fitness.

Each of these issues are driving Republicans to vote. They're not concerned about the coronavirus.

They believe that state governors went too far by closing down businesses and government. They believe that the coronavirus isn't deadly. They are not practicing social distancing.

There are only two Black Republicans. Retiring lawmaker Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX) and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC). Hurd joined the Black Congressional Caucus in the condemnation of the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery. Scott along with Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) have worked on anti-lynching law that is still stuck in limbo because of lawmakers in the House and Senate. Rep. Justin Amash (L-MI), Rep. Steve King (R-IA), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) have opposed the bill. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Rep. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT).are staunchly against the anti-lynching bill.
