    There was no sudden huge switch and it had nothing to do with race. It was a slow process as younger generations who had witnessed the Democrat segregationists and were not the Populist as were those Democrats but conservative fiscally and opposed the huge expansion of government the Democrats were enegaged in to by votes gained more voice. We also opposed the foreign policies such as Vietnam on the one hand and then not standing up to the Soviet Union.

    When did blacks switch to the Democrat party?
    What other policies switched, and when did that happen?
    Was the south more, less, or equally racist after the switch?
    How many racist politicians switched?

    Democrats think they need a frothing angry Black vote to win in Nov.

    Obama won with 95% of the Black vote, Hillary lost with 89% of the Black Vote. This is "progressive" Whites whipping up the same Blacks they keep in the squalor of failed cities.

    Anger, not Trump vs. Biden, now driving 2020 election: Much of the country believes that America is racist, cruel and incapable of self-correction.

    It’s actually much less of the country than you’d think, but it’s the part of the country the news media have chosen to amplify.

    There is nothing to see.
    They failed when they have 100% of the gov't.
    That won't happen for them for a while.

    Don't be fooled, again.

    Blacks came north for auto jobs, as early as the 1930s. You blame southern whites for black upward mobility?

    They passed healthcare and took a beating for it in 2010.

    For 7 yrs Republicans talked about almost nothing else but to repeal and replace the ACA. #1 order of business. tRUMP said it's easy.

    They failed. The didn't even have a plan. They don't have a plan. They are complicit in the ACA and after 3.5 yrs of power are now owners of the ACA.

    Fools believe otherwise.

    Democrats do whatever it takes to get votes. Lie, cheat, steal or all the above.

    Nor did they even try anymore.

    They never offered up a plan.

    The democrats will block it. The democrats refuse to work with the GOP on healthcare. Just like they shut out the GOP on ACA

    2 yrs. Complete GOP gov't. They needed no democrats. Give it up.

    Or they could work with democrats. But 1st, offer up some plan so there is a start point. As of now, the only plan they have is ACA they don't like. Without a plan that is different. To me, that means, they like what's out there now. But they need to fool the people who don't like it, say they don't like it, and offer nothing different. As the R party has done for 10 yrs.

    What plan have the Rs offered that the Ds can work with?
