Donald Trump Polls At 0 Percent In Detroit: How's that minority outreach workin' out for you, Donald?
So...
Zero, ZiP, Zilch, Nada!

snip//

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has stumped repeatedly at large events in the city of Detroit, including a much-publicized visit to a church, in an attempt to reach the city’s black voters.

The net result?

As Trump visits metro Detroit again Friday, a new WDIV poll shows him with zero support — literally — inside the city of Detroit.

And that’s not new. The Republican candidate also polled at zero percent among Pennsylvania and Ohio black voters over the summer, according to an NBC poll.

1. Not letting this awesome news sink!

[anamandujano]

2. He thinks a rally at the Apollo is going to make up for the things he said and get him votes.

Looney Tunes!

[Cha]

5. You know that's what some genius in the trump campaign thought...

all is forgiven if we take over the Apollo theater.. they are that stupid.

Thank you, anamandujano!

[anamandujano]

6. REC!

[Cha]

8. Thank you, anamandujano!

[Princess Turandot]

3. But it's so scary there! Would tRump be safe??

It's as if it's next to a banana republic or something. Oh, wait: it is next to a Banana Republic! And there's a large red thing with claws on the neighboring building as well! Gangs? Some mysterious Kenyan totem? OMG, it's a lobster!

Better he stay away!

(And good for them.)

[Cha]

14. Exaclty, working.. where James Brown got his start!

Thank you, working!

[workinclasszero]

16. Yup he had a great live at the Apollo record

way back in the day I believe Cha

[Cha]

17. Way way way back in the day.. I remember it well..

Inside James Brown's Lost 'Live at the Apollo' LP

All the greats of classic soul played the Apollo, but no one ruled the place quite like James Brown did. When he died in 2006, his body lay in state on the same famous stage where he'd cut his career-defining Live at the Apollo album four decades earlier. Thousands lined the sidewalks around the block as an imperial horse-drawn carriage delivered the casket to the theater, with Mr. Brown's recorded voice howling "It's a Man's Man's Man's World" from an open-air loudspeaker.

[longship]

22. Don't forget the Duke!

An absolutely wonderful person.

[Ardoewaan]

7. They want their money upfront,

this is a deal breaker for the donald.

[Cha]

18. That's right, Ardoewaan... Anybody the trumps

want to get something from.. they damn well better be paid in advance. That guy stiffs contractors, small businesses, campaign workers, an architect even when he's not running a losing presidential campaign.

Thank you!

[treestar]

36. Yeah no chance to stiff them.

I think from now on Don the Con will have to pay upfront for everything.

[Tarheel_Dem]

9. I hope they're prepared for death threats and threats of bombings. That's what happened with the...

AA (Woolworth) Museum here in Greensboro.

[Cha]

10. That's right.. that's what they do. I didn't think about

that heinous aspect of trumpfans.

Be safe Apollo people and Thank you for not having trump sully up your theater!

Thank you, Tarheel!

[Hekate]

13. Oh my God. Damn he and his folks are teh stupid. The Moran Brigade.

Thank you Apollo Theater

[Cha]

25. trump and his ugly fans shut down by the Apollo!

I'm so happy they did that.. but, I really wouldn't expect anything else.. they are pure class and promoting talent and legends.

They would not want trump bringing lies and filth into their historically treasured theater!

Whereas..

Mahalo for the gorgeous marqrees, anamandujano!

[anamandujano]

42. My high school boyfriend saw James Brown when he came to our town. He was a musician and

very excited. He was going on about it for days, even imitating how he looked playing piano. I saw Sammy Davis Jr. on B'way in Golden Boy. I still go around humming the songs.

[Cha]

43. Lucky you and your high school

boyfriend, anamandujano!

[treestar]

I love hearing stories about people standing on principle.

No, Donald, not everyone has a price.



Cha!

[Cha]

38. I love it, too, sarae! Hillary spoke @ the Apollo in March!

I just have to show somebody this Tweet I just saw .. Remember @ the debate when Hillary talked about what her friend Michelle Obama says.. "when they go low we go high.."?

Well, here's this Tweet yesterday from POTUS..

President Obama
✔ ?@POTUS
Just like Michelle says, when they go low, we go high. @HillaryClinton went high and showed why she'll be a POTUS for all Americans.

sarae.. Have a Good Day!

[sarae]

41. It's so true! I was proud of how she handled herself at the debate.

Despite all of Trump's disgusting, vile efforts, he wasn't able to bring her down to his level.

Thanks, Cha!

[MoonRiver]

32. Thanks Apollo!

[Cha]

44. So on the right side of humanity!

Mahalo, MoonRiver!

[MoonRiver]

45. Yes, and it is wonderful how many people are standing up to the Demented Bully!

Cha!

[Cha]

47. I'm ecstatic..you?

MoonRiver~

[MoonRiver]

48. Feeling good Cha!

November 8 is going to be party time for Democrats!

[treestar]

34. Haha good for them

They know Trumpy is poison.

[Cha]

50. He for sure is poison and

they know where to draw the damn line.

Oh NO.. you don't come into our house.

Mahalo, treestar!

[progressoid]

37. Hahahaha.

It would have been another fail anyway. Like when he went to the church in Detroit.

[Cha]

51. Yeah, but trump would have filled it with his obnoxious

fans.

Apollo wants no part of that toxic wasteland.

Mahalo, progressoid

[Wounded Bear]

39. Trump thinks money fixes everything...

Money will let him do anything. Just like the P***sy tape, people are just objects he can use for his own purposes.

Some things can't be bought. Nice to see the Apollo Theater is one of those institutions that stands on principles.

[Cha]

52. Really Nice about the Apollo, Wounded Bear!

trump throws money around but then he stiffs those he doesn't want to pay.. the little guy as it were. Selfish rat******.

Mahalo

[sheshe2]

40. Ha!

Good for the Apollo!

They don't want no stinking Con.

Thanks Cha!
