Trump wants a 'law and order' election. He's losing that battle.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump is struggling on the most important non-economic issues of the day.

His disapproval rating on both the coronavirus and race relations are in the 30s, and his Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, is trusted more on both of these issues by double-digits.

These deficits could be why Trump seems to want to turn this election into one focused on law and order.

A look at the polls reveals, however, that Trump will likely lose if he continues to double down on this electoral strategy.

Successful campaigns tend to be ones that listen to what voters want instead of telling them what they want. Law and order is not on the voters' minds at this moment.

He cannot argue he's for law and order when he pardons his cronies who break the law and abducts people who are not.

with Federal death warrants and executions.

4. It's a tough strategy for an incumbent to pull off.

It can be a very effective strategy for a challenger. If you can create a feeling of mortal fear in the voters, and convince them that you're the one who can protect them, then you've got them in your pocket.

It's a much tougher strategy for an incumbent to exploit. The scary video clips in Trump's campaign ads all depict things that have been happening under his administration. The message to voters is, "Sure, I've let all these scary things happen, but I won't let them happen anymore in my next term!" Not a very convincing argument.

In the meantime, the Covid crisis really is threatening the lives of the voters, and Trump just keeps letting that brushfire burn. It's a lot more frightening to voters than riots in a far-off city might be, and rightfully so.
