Democrat-funded protests backfire as officer killings boost support for police

The horrifying slayings of eight law enforcement officers in the past 10 days may come back to haunt Democrats funding protests against police behind the scenes in hopes of energizing black voters in November.

Instead of juicing turnout for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, the unrest may wind up backfiring by whipping up public sympathy for police and creating an opportunity for Republicans to run on a law-and-order message, analysts say.

“The proof of that will be on Election Day. But I would say the problem with the strategy is that it has contributed to a climate of support for law and order, and that, I think, is an immense advantage for Donald Trump,” said political analyst Floyd Ciruli....

...it has contributed to a climate of support for law and order...

This presents a problem for one political party.

“This presents a problem for one political party.”

It also spells trouble for the GOPe open boarders crowd too.

I hope the Dems go forward with having Mike Brown’s mother speak at their convention. Trump will brand them party of criminal cop killers.

Sorry for nitpicking, and I am not singling you out. But I see this mistake frequently.

boarders (with an "a") are people who are paying you to live in a spare room in your house.

borders (no "a") are the invisible lines that separate countries and states.

Keep in mind that Obozo’s prime objective is to use these thugs as his justification to nationalize the state and local police. On that score I'm not sure how it plays. All I know is that I am shocked at how many locals have signed on when I thought all would fight Obozo’s take over tooth and nail. Just like all Federal take overs, Obozo bribes then with Federal moneys and gets them in his pocket.

Is it Tomato or Tomatoe???

Just kidding

iPhone spell check and big thumbs. I know how to spell border.

If you really want to pick nits (and who doesn’t?), a boarder is someone who pays another to provide regular meals. Lodging may or may not be part of the deal.

“Sorry for nitpicking...”

This borders on being an “English lesson” (which I could use). ALL aboard!

I know...you’re bored because I’m being a boor.

Just don’t waterboard me.

(Words are fun and often used in board games!)

But what if we don’t got good grammar can we sound gooder?.
