    “Many Blacks didn’t go out to vote for Hillary ‘cause they liked me. That was almost as good as getting the vote, you know, and it was great”

    He’s not wrong. Hillary’s 2016 Democratic party lost %7 of the black vote. If that 7% comes out for Hillary in 2016, the she would be our current president.

    It was down from the Obama years, but it isn’t really fair to use those two elections as the watermark. Hillary was back down to around pre-2008 averages, which was still up in general from any previous point in history.

    Yep. That’s all true. Lower black turnout in comparison to 2008 and 2012 wasn’t the sole reason he won, but it still is a reason he won. If Hillary managed to maintain that %7 of black voters, it could have been a way she won the election.

    He is wrong. Dude said black people didn't vote for Hillary because they like him, lol. The reality is that the enthusiasm gap between Obama and Hillary was too great. His assertion is pure narcissism.

    Yeah he’s definitely wrong about black people liking him. However, he is right that low black voter turnout for Hillary aided him in winning the election.

    Ppl always blaming black people not voting doesn't sit right with me.

    Shows the way these people regard black votes vs white votes.

    They feel entitled to the black vote, but the white vote needs to be earned.

    Neither white women or black people lost the election. Hillary lost the election. Hillary and the Democratic Party dont own the black vote.

    It's funny how the blame always gets placed on black voters.
