Dems need to get tough on crime like our constituents want.

Is it absolutely unacceptable that Trump is planning on sending the National Guard to US cities? Absolutely. Unacceptable.

But that doesn't mean that he won't. He probably will. And he'll get a drop in the murder rate most likely. And our Dems who live in those cities, most of whom want more and better policing, will have a hard time not being happy about it.

And Trump will probably see the National Guard forced out of the city by court order, as should happen in America. But, unfortunately, it will be after he eats way too much of our political lunch over the issue.

We need to get ahead of Trump!
