LIZ PEEK: Democrats risk repeating humiliating 1988 defeat with soft crime policies

Does Democrats really want to repeat their insulting defeat for 1988? They may be if they continue to put criminals on citizens. president Donald Trump You will make sure of it.

President Trump, whose political instincts are excellent (watched his sessions that serve fried potatoes in McDonald’s or driving a garbage truck during last year’s campaign), pushes the ignorant Democrats to a trap. By sending the National Guard to Washington, DC and cleaning our nation’s capital, it has shown what is possible. By resisting its offers to help their cities, Democratic officials in Illinois, California, New York and other population states tell criminals more than the people who represent them. They will pay for that.

In the 1988 presidential elections, Republican George Herpeter Bush crushed his democratic rival, and 426 votes won the electoral college Michael Dukakis 111 – One of the worst bikes in all ages.

Bush’s pictures of his rival as soft for the crime. The Republican candidate managed a notorious and very effective television advertisement, saying that the governor of Dukakis, “… allowed the first -class killers to get the weekend passes from prison.” One of the examples highlighted was Willie Horton, who killed a boy in a robbery, stabbed 19 times. Despite life sentence, Horton received 10 weekends from prison. Horton escaped, kidnapped two young couple, stabbed the man and raped his girlfriend again and again. The announcement concluded: “Dukakis on the crime.”

Some say that the advertisement, which also showed a chilling image of Horton, changed the course of criminal justice in America, which led to more than a decade of “crime” policies.

Six years later, President Bill Clinton followed the signing of the 1994 crime bill, which called for nearly 10 billion dollars to build more prisons and add 100,000 police officers. The bill was Written largely By Delawir Democratic, then. Joe Biden.

Democrats have forgotten a lesson in 1988. They argue that after height Post -judgment yearsThe crime decreased, but the voters did not buy it. The last AP survey showed two -thirds of Americans believe that the crime was a big problem. About 81 % sees a major concern in cities, including 96 % of Republicans and even 68 % of Democrats.

The bottom line: After decades of supporting crime reduction policies and watching the number of violent crimes, Democrats have become soft again.

Democratic officials in cities such as New York make almost impossible for police officers to take their jobs, which inhibits law enforcement by launching repeated crimes in the streets, and they all encourage them to restore resistance.

The collapse of law and order is promoted by judges who stand by criminals and provincial lawyers who refuse to prosecute crimes. Judges such as Jeffrey Girchoni from New York, and he appoints the mayor of Democracy Bill de PalacioThe recently released – the plaintiffs ’requests – a criminal of the conditional release that was already arrested 34 times due to theft.

Democrats commit the harshest political sins: not to listen to their voters. in ChicagoBrandon Johnson, mayor two years ago, was elected to a race dominated by safety concerns; 71 % of voters included the crime as the most important issue, or outperformed jobs or anything else. Despite his previous speech, “Defund The Police” and promises to cut off law enforcement, Johnson won.

Today, he and the governor of Illinois JB Pritzker rejects President Trump’s offer to help curb the shining crime of Chicago. Johnson recently argued, “Prisons, imprisonment and law enforcement is a disease that did not lead to safe societies.” No wonder he has the lowest classification to agree to any mayor in the United States

It is not alone in sounding fool. Representative Yasmine Crocate, D-TEXAS, says that committing a crime does not make someone a criminal, while his colleague, MP Jimmy Raskin. D-MD says. He opposes the Trump campaign because “the crime has always been part of our history.” Does this relax the victims?
