Donald Trump’s push for black voters with his well-received speech in Milwaukee was hailed as nothing less than historic by experts who have argued Democrats are vulnerable on racial issues.

Dinesh D’Souza, author of “Hillary’s America” and director and writer of the blockbuster film of the same name, said Trump’s speech was a bold and necessary step for Republicans.

“He is the first Republican that I’ve seen in a long time to go in this direction,” D’Souza told WND. “Generally Republicans are very wary of this topic. They play nice, but they don’t really address core issues. And it looks like Trump is making a real bid here not only for the black vote but for the well-meaning white vote. And by that, I mean I think this will benefit Trump not only with blacks but with whites. I think it shows a boldness to go where Republicans generally don’t go.”
