If these following black conservatives and tea party activists ran in 2016, can they appeal to black voters? Can they give the Democrats a scare of their lives?

Well the only purpose Herman Cain's candidacy served was to say, "Look, we have a Black member so that means we're not racists, even though we want to put the White back in the White House!!!"

Black conservatives are often more extreme than a lot of white ones. So no.

No, the best shot would be Tim Scott, and he ain't running.
Maybe Mia Love in 2024.

And even then, she's far too crazy. And blacks are pretty mistrustful of black Republicans anyway, not to mention a Mormon one.

Lol what a bunch of clowns.

The two best black Republicans that could have run for President were ruined by the Bush administration, have spoken favorably of Obama and are uninterested in the Presidency anyway.

Believe it or not, Blacks do not vote for people based on their skin color. Same with Latinos.

1.Dr. Ben Carson
2.Activist Deneen Borelli
3.Fox News host Charles Payne
4.Radio show host Larry Elder
5.Tea party activist David Webb
6.Columnist Thomas Sowell

To clarify part of the argument Ben Carson's supporters have is that if a Republican comes near twenty percent of the African American vote, it'll be enough to win the General Election.

So a Ben Carson or whoever wouldn't have to win a majority of the black vote.

I'd imagine other voters will opt out if Republicans nominate someone who lacks the conventional qualifications to run the country, so it's a moot point.

Carson would have some appeal yes. The others listed on this thread for president no probably not. I don't think Sowell would run.

No they don't but Blacks vote majority Dem but not necessarily for a Black candidate. Ask Jesse Jackson who ran for President twice in a row or Al Sharpton who lost a run off in the Dem Primary for Mayor of NYC in 1997.

No your post sounds like a conspiracy  theory. Herman Cain was a bad candidate though.

The visceral hatred of black conservatives by democrats is astonishing to me, but it is real and immune to change.

How about conservatives advocate for sane and qualified black Republicans instead of random political pundits and Tea Party activists?

That crowd rightly should be laughed off. If Democrats seriously suggested someone like Al Sharpton or Cynthia McKinney for President they would be ridiculed by conservatives. But Republicans have their standards so low that they think any black conservative will do.

I don't take the "Condi Rice 2016" crowd too seriously but she's much more respectable and qualified than the crazy people like Alan Keyes or the stupid people like Herman Cain.

In that regard, Ted Cruz could have been a perfect Republican Latino mirror of Obama (highly qualified, he's an alumnus of both Princeton and Harvard, clerked for Rehnquist, was Texas Solicitor General and is a U.S. Senator) if he wasn't so egocentric.

Look, the man was obviously a great surgeon, but what has he done to prove he's qualified to run the country?

^This.

Republicans keep making the mistake of assuming just any black person will do.  That's not how it works.

Blacks generally only vote for black republicans if they prove to be good policy wise. You can't have a guy like Herman Cane who wants to put the white back in the white house.

...

Obama won 95% of the black vote because he's a Democrat, not because he's black.

If the 2016 is somehow black Republican vs. white Democrat, the Democrat will do just as well with black voters.


Remember the 2006 Ohio and Pennsylvania govs, 2006 Maryland senate, etc.
