The Democrats have been playing chess, while the GOP has been playing checkers. Will Dem political genius work one more time or are they finally overplaying their hand?
You can call it a liberal agenda but, by charging Trump it shifts from a political issue to a legal issue. I think it does peel away more voters. Law and order is a conservative value, but not a Trump value.
Excellent point and one of Trump's big failings: he talked a good game on crime, but never got deeply involved in solving it. He could have used federal power to force state and local action on the issue. Repeating "Law and Order" is not the same as providing it.
