We actually elected an indian in Bobby Jindal with crushing landslides twice. South Carolina has a black senator. A black republican is no problem at all.
wow, as 2 others have already pointed out, a white female democrat was elected in 2003 with 52% v/s 48% defeating Jindal. In fact, all of central Louisiana (99.9% RED) voted for Blanco.
sure, that was 15 years ago, but you only told one part of the story.

whether you want to understand it or not, Louisiana is a very prejudice place. We grow up so separated...still to this day. Throw in racist uncles and poor education...that's what you get.

Though that didn't have anything to do with him being gifted in the melanin department.

Elbert Guillory is a black Republican that currently holds elected office in LA in rural Opallousis, a seat formerly occupied by a Democrat. So there is evidence of such!

wtf?
In Opelousas, LA the African American population makes up about 75%. It's not even 20K in total.

I don't know who that is. I'm a recovered Republican. Still hold many conservative values, but I lean left when it comes to social unrest.

I'm not gonna look it up but as I recall Alan Keyes got a LOT of votes in La. during the GOP primary a few years ago.

Tim Scott has more than proven you can while black and Republican in a southern state.

I think Powell could have back in the late 80's early 90's. Condaleeza too probably 10 or so years ago. IF today someone came with a similar approach as Trumps, then absolutely they could.
