Like I said , Trump and the GOP have a lot of convincing to do. I'll try to keep an open mind since he is the president and all.
And I was really hoping that this election cycle would finally be the cycle when the repubs would finally breakthrough the Dems hold on the black and minority vote. What with Scott, Rubio, Mia Love out in Utah, and many others they finally starting to diversify.
It really is ironic that it was Trump to actually reach out and speak to Blacks to vote for him (he could've used better rhetoric, but I'll at least commend him for trying.) If he can really do something to fix the inner cities then the black vote will be higher than 8% next time.
There's a lot of work to be done.

Actually, it needs to start here.
That is where the problem lies.

i think you are looking at it the wrong way.
the reality is minorities are very close minded as a group on politics. there is a lack of diversity of thought on politics within these groups.
and for all the talk about diversity, liberals rarely elect black and hispanic politicians in areas that don't have a majority of minority voters. Republicans in SC have elected as many black senators as Democrats nationwide.
hillary's challengers in the democratic primary were all white guys.

Agreed. It's a start. Both parties needed to quit accepting that the black vote is a foregone conclusion. Dems ignore the demographic because they assume they've got the votes anyways, and Republicans ignored the demographic because they assumes there'd be no hope of reception.
Something has to change both without and within the voting bloc.
