It is widely reported that in three days of talking about the state of our union, the Democrats have yet to condemn the violence and looting happening in a number of large cities, most notably Portland, Seattle, Chicago, and New York, but in quite a few others as well. John Kass has the story for RealClearPolitics.
Polls have made it clear most Americans condemn the urban violence and looting. Apparently Democrats do not, or at the very least believe they cannot publicly admit doing so. Condoning violence should be disqualifying in a presidential candidate.
You can be certain Republicans will condemn these outrages next week when they convene. Will Americans notice Trump is on their side in this matter and vote for him? We can hope so.

On another note, have you seen the slide from corporate training at Goodyear? It says Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ Pride are great at work but MAGA, All Lives Matter or Blue Lives Matter are “unacceptable.”
Brit Hume on Fox News criticized Trump for supporting a Goodyear boycott suggested by others. I think Hume is wrong this time.
The only way to send a business a signal you don’t approve of their policies is to shift your patronage to competitors. If I were in the market for tires now, I’d buy other than Goodyear. It will be awhile before I forgive. How about you?
