“What do you have to lose by trying something new? I will fix it. This means so much to me, and I will work as hard as I can to bring new opportunity to places in our country which have not known opportunity in a very long time.”

Trump said Democrats like Hillary Clinton, his rival for the presidency, have not rewarded black voters’ faith in them.

“Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party have taken African-American votes totally for granted,” he said. "Because the votes have been automatically there, there has been no reason for Democrats to produce.

“It is time to break with the failures of the past, and to fight for every last American child in this country to have the better future they deserve.”

Trump, the GOP’s presidential nominee, added his policies would help all voters, not just African-Americans.

“We cannot make America great again if we leave any community behind,” he said. "I will not rest until every child of color in this country is included in the American Dream.

“Jobs, safety, opportunity. Fair and equal representation. This is what I promise to African-Americans, Hispanic Americans, and all Americans.”

Donald Trump’s outspoken campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, resigned Friday from the campaign -- days after he was pushed aside for conservative media executive Steven Bannon -- and also amid growing speculation about his ties to Ukrainian politics.

“This morning Paul Manafort offered, and I accepted, his resignation from the campaign,” Trump said in a written statement to FoxNews.com. “I am very appreciative for his great work in helping to get us where we are today, and in particular his work guiding us through the delegate and convention process. Paul is a true professional and I wish him the greatest success.”

It’s the latest shakeup for the Trump campaign, which canned campaign manager Corey Lewandowski on June 20, after the pugnacious former cop had a confrontation with a Breitbart reporter. The ouster of Lewandowski was seen as a victory in a behind-the-scenes power struggle for Manafort, who was brought on board in March largely for his convention and delegate wrangling experience.

Manafort, as a 26-year-old Republican operative, helped manage the 1976 convention floor for Gerald Ford in his successful showdown with Ronald Reagan.

He drew praise for steering the campaign through the final weeks of the primary process and the convention, where opposing forces sought ways to block a Trump nomination. But his days appeared numbered when Trump brought on Breitbart boss Steve Bannon to serve as CEO. Where Manafort at times expressed a desired to modulate Trump’s bombast, the brash Bannon has signaled he wants to “Trump to be Trump.”

Life for Manafort also got complicated following a New York Times article over the weekend claimed handwritten ledgers show $12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments designated for Manafort from ex-President Viktor Yanukovych’s pro-Russian party between 2007 and 2012.

I find it fitting that there are 440 pages of crap regarding the 2016 presidential election

Makes sense. It's been the most interesting election since I've been old enough to vote.
