that Trump will get anywhere close to the majority of the black male vote. 20% tops.

12 or 13 percent would seem to be his maximum number.

Expand voter base, more diversity. Because of the economy and criminal justice Trump has done this. Black men, especially young black men don't want to vote for Biden.
