Election Expert Suggests 'Racial Resentment' Too High Among GOP Voters For Black Republican to Win
Racial resentment? Just a fancy way of saying GOP voters are racist as fuck.

RealClearPolitics senior elections analyst Sean Trende cast doubt on Senator Tim Scott’s (R-SC) nascent presidential campaign and the political prospects of Black Republicans more generally in a since-deleted tweet.
“A third rail I’ll go ahead and touch: I’m not sure a Black Republican can win the presidency because I think they’ll shed too many Republicans with high racial resentment levels without getting much in return,” offered Trende.
“I’m less certain of this than I was a decade ago, because I think there are more suburban Whites who tend to vote Democratic today who might be tempted to switch to Scott, but we’ve seen this with candidates like Mia Love and probably some of the statewide Republican flops,” he continued.
Scott has emphasized his family’s history as slaves in the pre-Civil War era and farmers in the Jim Crow South.

That's for darned sure. There aren't (anywhere near) enough black GOP voters to make up the difference, and other black voters will be put off by the Uncle Tom stench. (Or maybe I should say Uncle Tim! 
)
Either way, it's a losing proposition. 
I don't disagree with anything you say, I just believe their fear and antipathy toward Democrats and liberalism currently rules. They MUST defeat us. 
That Scott is male is also a big factor worth noting on this topic. White nationalist/supremacist groups are always strongly male supremacist (and how revealing that the common label doesn't even mention the bone-deep denial of equality of the female half of humanity). Many of the bigots being discussed would vote for a black man to defeat a woman (should we nominate one for instance).
History has demonstrated that belief in male supremacy transcends race many times, many ways, including when black men in our country were given the vote a half century before any woman, race irrelevant.
