Crime a Good Issue for GOP

Writing at The Daily Beast, Lloyd Green provides a political context for the rise in crime we are experiencing. Hat tip to RealClearPolitics for the link. Some key points Green makes:

Having staked their future on the volatile axes of race and income, the Democrats are now witnessing crime reemerge as a campaign issue, and they are out-of-touch and ill-prepared.

Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee was spending its time and political capital on a resolution embracing the Black Lives Matter movement.

For the Republicans, crime is quickly becoming a campaign issue.

For today’s Democrats’ upstairs-downstairs coalition these are hard lessons to absorb.

Polls are already showing that Clinton is barely getting little more than one-third of the white vote.

Over the past half century, crime has helped elect two Republicans as president. In 2016, crime may elect a third.

Democrats have cast their lot with the race-baiting hatemongers of La Raza and Black Lives Matter, meaning they oppose the interests of law-abiding, crime-fearing white voters. It's unclear why a Democrat should get any of the less-than-wealthy white vote.
