Not quite sure what to make of this, but I think Trump might not get that 90% he's been bragging about.
David Duke is getting more support from black voters in his race than Donald Trump is in his
In a recent poll conducted by the University of New Orleans Survey Research Center, Duke gets the support of about 13 percent of the state, with more opposition from older voters who likely remember his past runs for office, the pollsters note than younger ones. That level of support mirrors his favorability rating in the poll; 14 percent view him favorably to 82 percent who don't. (Only 4 percent of respondents weren't familiar enough with Duke to have an opinion.)
But here's the weird thing, as the New York Times' Campbell Robertson pointed out on Twitter on Thursday. Duke, a former leader of the Klan, gets support from 14 percent of black voters a figure that eclipses the support Trump gets nationally or in nearby Georgia in a new poll from that state.

(508 posts)... I could see it happen, especially when you realize that if he IS elected he will have to deliver on on his promise to Make America Great Again, build The Wall and make Mexico pay for it, provide Super Terrific Healthcare for veterans, bring all the jobs that went to China back home, bomb the shit out of ISIS, force Apple to make their phones in the states, repeal Obamacare, defeat the enemies of Christmas, rebuild America's infrastructure while lowering taxes, send all the illegals home and ban Muslims, kill the relatives of terrorists, fire the generals and find better ones, fire the leaders of the Department of Veterans Affairs and find new ones, get rid of gun-free zones at military bases and schools, execute Bowe Bergdahl, force Nabisco to make Oreos in the United States, and do it all while never taking a vacation.
