As many are as qualified to serve in it.

So none of you want to simply answer the question. That tells us all we need to know. Tex, Why and ICU's continued obfuscation and deflection for a question that is so simple is informative about the "New Republican Party" spoken of in this thread and under Trump. My question is simple, how many blacks are in Trump's cabinet?

The topic of the OP is the evolution of the Republican Party, not the current state of identity politics in the Trump administration.

That is the evolution of the Republican Party. Still trying to obfuscate. You could simply answer the question. What you are doing is called avoidance.

Simple question, how many blacks are in Trump's cabinet?

You're obfuscating when you ask "How many blacks are in Trump's cabinet?" instead of "How many blacks have been in Trump's cabinets?"

The answer to the first question is "zero" right now, although that may change. The answer to the second question is two. As explained in post #23, only 3.3% of Trump's votes came from blacks, and the representation of blacks in his cabinets has been double that percentage for most of his time in office.

About 25% of MSNBC's viewers are black, and that's about the same as the percentage of black announcers on MSNBC. While yeah, it would be good to see at least one black in Trump's cabinet, in view of the demography of the country, that's the way the world works. Republicans and Democrats are highly partisan, and they tend to pick from their own tribes.

I never asked the second question, you’re making up your own questions to provide the answer you’d like. My question has been the same from the beginning, sir Tiny, the White Knight, jumping to try and save the cowardly Trumpys.

Then you add information that has zero bearing on the question I asked. You’re hijacking and getting way off topic.

ICU, Tex and Why are very capable of answering the question, yet they are cowards, so won’t answer a simple question posed to them.

E tu Blackman? Another member of the hijack police? If my post was off topic, then yours certainly were.

I don't think either of us hijacked the thread. Whether the new Republican Party is racist, and whether the presence or absence of blacks in Trump's cabinet shows it is or isn't, is relevant.

No more posts from me on this though. If we keep it up one or both of us will get RTM'ed now that you've planted the seed.
