Trump capitalizing on fears over crime
The Hill ^ | July 23, 2016 | Katie Bo Williams

“The first task for our new Administration will be to liberate our citizens from the crime and terrorism and lawlessness that threatens their communities,” Trump said in an address that included statistics pointing to rising crime in several U.S. cities.

Trump is NOT "capitalizing" on fears over crime, he sees a serious, real problem and he plans to fix it

Not sure how the Fed Govt can do anything about crime, other than deport and jail the threats to life.

Just get out of the way of the states, counties and cities and let them do their job.

And the media is outraged because never before in the history of US politics—not until that weasel Trump burst onto the scene—has a candidate played on the fears of voters.

They can start by deporting criminal illegal aliens and not let in any more. This is exactly what Trump plans to do.

BJ did too. Remember his 100,000 new cops on the streets? Dirty secret was the cities and states would have to pick up the costs after the first year.

Munich, Boston Marathon, Orlando — if the politicians don’t address the problems, they will never get resolved.

That is going to be one of the difficulties of a Trump presidency. He is a do-er. He resolves problems. Typical politicians allocate money to study the problems.

Trump has taken a number of non-PC positions regarding crime, illegal aliens, Islam and enforcing our laws.

As events occur in America and the world his positions look brilliant and perfectly in tune with the shifts in American sentiment.

“Events” will elect Donald Trump. Turkey, Munich and the DNC e-mail hack are only the most recent examples.

Tone deaf Hillary is truly on the wrong side of history as it plays out.

Fed Govt can do everything about crime, by getting out of the way of local police, deport and jail the illegals re threats to life, and eliminate sanctuary cities.

I don’t think it’s fear of crime. It’s disgust, revulsion of crime. And it’s not irrational which is what these traitors are really trying to assert.

And why shouldn’t he? It’s not like the ‘rats have actually done anything to address the problem.

And yes, the Feds can do plenty here. Particularly when felons use a gun in the commision of a crime. There are also forensic and other resources that the Feds can make available to help catch the scumbags.

It is fear.

But it is not paranoia.

The Hill always spins left and Dhim.

The name Hill is appropriate for this coming campaign as they will be in the tank for Hill-ary.

With all the changes odumbo and his ilk have made in this country, there is nothing else to report but crime, its rampant and he is doing absolutely nothing to squelch it.

So I guess Katie does not see any problems in places like Chicago.

What’s the point of commenting on something like this from The Hill?

It’s obvious from the WikiLeaks dump that all of these “reporters” are merely DNC operatives, taking orders from Luis “The Illegal” Miranda over at DNC HQ.

Ain’t nuttin’ but propaganda, cooked up by scheming fraudsters.

It’s not only the crime; it’s the damned “workplace
violence” (committed by Muslim Terrorists for the most
part in spite of Hussein’s attempts to hide it from our
LYING EYES!!)

After all these years, another round of “Blowjob Bill
Clinton” makes me want to puke. Of course, HITLER-Y will
be demanding her pounds of flesh!

How, exactly, is Trump “capitalizing” when he’s paid for his primary, and intends to take NO SALARY as President?

Ohhhhhh, maybe the writer means that Americans are sick and damn tired of all the crime, racial division, illegal immigration, and terrorism, and are trusting Trump, instead of potato sack named Hillary, to clean it up.

I see it as solving a problem. I really wish we had two separate nations-one for normal people and the other for liberals.
