If the Democrats cave to far-left ideals and become the party of defunding the police, President Trump will win reelection in November, Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen said Tuesday.
In an interview on "America's Newsroom" with host Sandra Smith, Thiessen noted that while party leadership and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden are trying to mitigate the issue, he would be going against his own constituents.
"Well, first of all, if this becomes an election between Donald Trump standing for 'law and order' and [the Democratic Party] defunding the police, Donald Trump wins. Period," he stated.

"This is a third rail for the Democratic Party and Joe Biden is trying to manage the issue. But, the problem is that he's going against the will of his base, which is for defunding the police..." Thiessen explained. "This is what the Democratic base wants. They want to defund the police. And Joe Biden's going to have a real hard time managing that."
Calls to defund or disband police departments have been amplified in the weeks of nationwide protest and civil unrest following the death recorded on video of 46-year-old George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police officers. One officer knelt on Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes, staying on him even after he lost consciousness.

I never believed this country would elect a foreign born muslim either, especially so soon after 9/11 but yet they did, not once but twice.
Why not a senile pervert?
And followed that up by giving Hillary Clinton more votes than Donald Trump. -Tom
Exactly what I was about to add. Thanks!
I love your positive attitude!! Thank you.
Perhaps Truckers should strike and refuse to haul anything to or from these corrupt cities/states.
Agreed.
The riots and Trump’s opposition to them have reelected Trump.
Dems will do it. Got keep the black folk down on the plantation and voting democrat, dontchaknow.
Nah, don’t worry. President Trump won’t bring up the issue when he starts holding rallies again. Not a chance.
It's the Democrats who are proposing defunding the police!
BLM is just another Revolutionary Communist front group. They will force a split in the Democratic Party sooner rather than later. They can only get so much mileage in the MSM out of the trite formulation that anyone who opposes Black Lives Matter, thinks black lives don't matter.
Start with the damn FBI and work down.
I doubt they’ll tell their members to vote for Trump. :-)
You are right.
But then Trump doesn’t need any votes from New York.
Am figuring NY, CA and MA will go for whichever Rat is running for POTUS.
Will DPR* win more than those?

Biden may be becoming senile, but he (and his advisors) are still intelligent enough not to endorse defunding police. He’s called for some vague “reform”. That’s all he’ll say.
