Greetings from DeKalb County, Georgia, a blue zone where most voters recognize Donald Trump for the con man he is


Politico, 8/18/2016
Con man blathering.  “You're living in poverty, your schools are no good, you have no jobs. Fifty-eight percent of your youth is unemployed. What the hell do you have to lose?” Speaking before another largely-white audience in a town whose population is 93 percent white, Trump said, “And at the end of four years, I guarantee you that I will get over 95 percent of the African-American vote. I promise you. Because I will produce.”
