Trump Needs To Keep Chicago S Name Out Of His Mouth

      Donald Trump is a bigot. Let’s just get that out of the way first.

Dwyane Wade’s cousin was just shot and killed walking her baby in Chicago. Just what I have been saying. African-Americans will VOTE TRUMP!

      When Trump talks about Chicago’s problems he offers no real solutions. Rather, he uses our city as a prop for his platform. And not coincidentally, he     mostly does so in front of predominantly white, suburban or rural audiences. His plan for “black outreach” seems less about authentically connecting with     black people than about appealing to white voters.



      And Trump hasn’t appeared in Chicago since that failed event here almost six months ago. The campaign has never announced plans to reschedule, nor has it     planned a follow-up event. Trump was, however, able to make an appearance in downstate Bloomington, which is 78 percent white.



      Some officials are calling Trump’s bluff. On Monday Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Trump’s “got an election. He’s not interested in Chicago.” And in an interview     with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes, Congressman Danny Davis gave voice to a sentiment making its way through black communities around the city: “Talk is cheap. Show     us what you’re going to do.”
