Trump is big on casinos. Indians are big on casinos. Common ground.

What did hilldawg do to piss off the native american vote?
A lot of us purely hated the bitch.

From my experience there are 3 kinds of Indians.

The reservation Indian. Truly the lowest of the low. Take a trip through the Navajo reservation sometime. You'll find squalor and misery that would make you think you're in a 3rd world country, a poor one at that. If they don't vote 90% plus Democratic I'll be shocked. While I haven't been to some of the Lakota ones I'm told they aren't much better.

The casino Indian. Not as many of them and they'll vote for anyone who keeps the gravy train rolling.

The loners. Smallish family groups who largely work together. Mine is one of the latter. The ones I know rarely come from the rez, it's almost impossible to break them away from that dependency and we tried for years. I don't know a member of my family that doesn't despise progressives and we aren't terribly fond of anyone else.

i will tell you this, though...of all the groups i've ever argued with online, the natives may be the most annoying. they truly believe this land was "stolen" and what happened to their tribes was the first time in human history a lesser opponent lost land.
A lot are like that.

I understand history though. If you aren't strong enough to keep it someone will take it from you. My ancestors were stupid, should have killed them as soon as they got off the boat.

But we were too busy fighting each other. Say what you will about the white man, he has always been good at sticking together long enough to kill folks they want to.

It's from Wikipedia, and due to rounding errors it can go over 200

It's not the rounding errors; it's the fact that the poster didn't know about that Hispanics/Latinos are an ethnicity that may also correspond to different racial group.

Lara Trump, a North Carolina native, credited the candidate with diverting her group from the campaign trail and sending them to the devastated region. She told the Fayetteville Observer:

My father-in-law said, you take a break and go down and help them out. We really want to bring whatever relief we can.

Because it's easier to call something fake, and insult someone, rather than taking a second to consider why it may not be fake.

It's measured in the hundredths. You don't get to throw out an end number that's nearly 5% off and expect people to believe it wasn't a made up bunch of numbers.

Well maybe the person who listed the demographics, expected people to know about the difference between race and ethnicity. I guess you proved he/she set the expectations too high.

And the American Indians. In fact, based solely on turnout data, we would expect that white voters would gain an advantage immediately.
