US radio host Charlamagne tha God says opinion polls suggesting black Americans may flee the Democratic party to vote for Donald Trump may be “overstated”.

      Ja hasn’t been involved in politics for decades now. That’s why government is turning into a circus. Nobody knows wtf they are doing anymore.

      He’s a prominent black radio host who likely has a decently good impression of the political leanings of his listeners and is observing a contrast between the polling and his experience on the ground.

      Is his listener base representative of the black community - good question.

      But I think his opinion is probably relatively informative.

    In case you didn’t know, he has been a guest on Greg Gutfeld’s talk show, were he thinks he is funny discussing the same stupid subjects he would discuss on any other Fox News show.

    EDIT: Of course I didn’t watch the show. I am just aware he was a guest. On top of that, I assume every guest is picked because they have something bad to say about the Democratic Party.

    Cool. What does ja rule think? He at least had a reason to have a moniker since we seem to accept that for rappers. I don’t think Leonard mcclevy or whatever Charlemagne’s real name is actually has a justification for using that moniker. He certainly is not intelligent, insightful or has ever really had a good take on anything… He’s a useless obnoxious attention whore and always has been.
