Black people wont vote for Buttigieg

In a really stupid article filled with "whataboutisms" and impossibilities the author from *National Review,* which is a right-leaning publication, attempts to make a connection that African-Americans are homophobic.

Tobias Hoonhout is the reporter that put together [this hit piece](https://news.yahoo.com/poll-trump-expected-double-2016-194645754.html) whose objective is something I can't really figure out.  He put together a bunch of data from equally dumb questionnaires that propose certain situations such as "who would you vote for:  Trump or (insert name of anyone else here)" and found that when the face-off happens between Trump and Buttigieg, the amount of African Americans that would prefer Trump doubles.

There are a couple of reasons why this article is dumb:

*  Buttigieg has almost no chance of being the nominee
*  It implies something without saying it
*  The author doesn't even have the courage to come to the conclusion the article is definitely alluding to
*  The author hides the fact that black Democrats surveyed still **overwhelmingly** supported Buttigieg in a head-to-head vs Trump

I suppose you could say that when the news is constantly calling everything racist, homophobic, sexist, whatever-phobic it gets a bit old, but at least those publications have the balls to come out and say it.  This hit piece is simply a garbage article about a near impossible scenario and also basing its information on a couple hundred people surveyed and attempting to suggest the results are representative of the entire country.

well, they gotta write about something I guess and wild speculation seems to be par for the course in the past 5 years.   

I do recall the statistics being very very wrong in the end though

i'm loving all the hypotheticals they keep coming up with.  The fact that you could pit almost anyone against Trump and democrats would vote for the other guy?  Shocking!
