This is like Elrond asking Isildur to cast the ring in the fires of mount doom, but only 20 years later. Not happening.

It would turn off many of his fiercest supporters for one.

Not going to be easy

Not going to happen. Like some people in here have said, doing that will push some supporters away immediately.

The white republican vote.
At this point I really can't tell what would turn 'off' his supporters.

The last Republican to get that much of the vote was Richard Nixon in 1960 (32%, which as noted earlier in the thread, ran probably the most aggressive campaign of courting AA votes since the end of Reconstruction)
Since 1964, the black republican vote has varied between 4% (McCain) and 15% (Nixon 1968, Ford 1976).
Bush Jr. in 2000 and Republican Jesus in 1980 and 84 both hit double digits, but the trend currently is declining.
I can't see a candidate like Trump on the ticket reversing that (but then again, no Obama either)
He's already started.
Nice try, Donald. But we know you don't read newspapers.

LOL love the URL for that pic "cinnamon Hitler". Thank you Trevor Noah for that one
Why does this fuck have so many pictures of him about to chow down on shitty fast food?
It's all he can afford.

First thing that struck we was how strategically the business papers are placed, to reinforce the mythology that he has the slightest idea what he's doing.
mad that gw bush still seems like recent history yet his share of black and hispanic voters in 2000 feels like a distant political reference point just like reagan, nixon and ford.

Never forget
EDIT: Just for those who aren't aware, that's his second wife, Marla Maples.
In 1990, he was married to Ivana, his first wife (for 13 years at that point), mother of Donald Jr, Eric and Ivanka. Marla was their mutual friend, but secretly had been Donald's mistress for the past couple of years. They were all on vacation in Aspen at the same time when Ivana figured it out, and it all blew up. Ivana and Marla had a big fight on the slopes, (verbally at least, and by some accounts physically), and shortly thereafter it was a big public scandal and the Trumps divorced a couple years later.
Then Donald married Marla less than a year after that, and they stayed married until 1999.
So the question is, why the hell does he have a laminated placemat that is a picture of Marla in the 80's? Who the hell knows.
That's hilarious.Never forget
Come to think of it, who even puts a big plate of food on top of a pile of newspapers like that?

Now I'm imagining Trump doing a praise break. I need this.
Wow, I didn't know that black support for Republicans has been so bad for so long. I mean, I knew it was bad, but I figured it was more run of the mill bad than dumpster fire bad for at least most of the last 30 years or so.
I agree that there's now way Trumo can do it. Trump is basically a failed candidate though. I am hoping that he becomes the impetus for the Republican Party to do some soul-searching on what the heck they stand for and start nominating people that arent crazed lunatics.
I've been a Democratic voter for a long time, but I would prefer a world where neither candidate is a terrible person.
Pharell and Raven getting snubbed.
Is that like his placemat for when he's at work? That's really gross.Never forget

Maybe the GOP could have made the outreach somehow viable by not treating the first Black President like a foreign invader.

Bernie Sanders failed to get large percentage of the black vote. Trump won't even get one percent of the votes. He is a fucking racist.

I've been waiting for a Republican politician to quote that Chris Rock shit for what seems like forever. I really felt Trump would be the person to do it but he hasn't.

So, hypothetically, there is a black person who has decided not to vote for Trump. But, who might be convinced to change his/her mind if Trump does...something.
I'm struggling to come up with the "something", and imagining this person (or people) just makes me sad.

Somebody who needed a quick picture for damage control.
Seriously. Some guy probably approached Donny and said "Hey man, we need the Hispanics to like you again, so pretend you're enjoying this" and threw the bowl straight to the trashcan immediately afterwards.

Since the Hispanic outreach with that pic of him eating the taco bowl worked so well, he should do something similar.

Don't forget "all votes matter not just the
*ends sarcastic voice*
If Trump is a billionaire then he needs to literally buy the black vote. Give everyone of us eligible black voters $15,000. Otherwise he is headed for one of the, as of today noting that this can change to a win for him, worst political defeats in American history.

The GOP for decades have sated their base with boilerplate social issues and dog whistle racism to distract from their shitty economic policies.
If they value conservative economic policies above all else, yet still want to reach out to a broader base, they're going to have to seriously toy with the idea of place some of the low hanging fruit they've been picking off of for years on the chopping block. Which of them is it: the gun lobby, closet racists, religious nuts, or climate deniers? These are the base they've cultivated for so long that it's become ubiquitous and cliche.
If I were a republican PR consultant in charge of rehabilitation their public image, I would seriously ask myself, which of these groups are worth holding onto going forward. For the long term viability and survival of the party, is the southern strategy really the hill worth they want to die on?
