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.

This will be a HUGE bow to BLM and cause a rift in the DNC.
You can bet your ass this will help Trump but he was going to win anyway.
The DNC/CPUSA will simply step up their VOTER FRAUD - “by any means necessary”
When they start defunding make sure we include the FBI.
Shhhhhh..... dont let the cat out of the bag.
Trump is going to win re-election hands down! The democrats cannot do anything about it.
Dems won’t do it. Just a lot of yappy-yap.
And if they don’t back it as a party, the leftie loons will vote for them anyway.
You can bet that the dem “leadership” will tell every candidate to avoid talking about defunding or abolishing the police. They will claim they are just interested in real issues. But, they will definitely give a wink and nod to the mob, and if they are actually elected, they will immediately start pushing their war on cops to hell with the real issues that matter to almost everyone else. That’s the playbook they used in 2018, when they didn’t talk about impeachment, but did nothing but impeachment when they got elected.
Actually they can. It doesn't matter how many vote, it is who counts the votes that matters. In places such as Pa, Michigan or Wisconsin, where the election is likely to be close some concentrated ballot fraud in certain counties can tip the balance and the election. Biden is a senile boob and crook, but the rats know he has to win. For them it is existential. For the GOP not very much.
Check out the BLM website. Look at their goals. Pretty scary stuff and they call each other comrade.
Joe Biden is trying to manage the issue.
BS Joe is trying to use it to show he is a voice of reason centrist.
Dems "take a knee" for BLM wearing African tribal scarves.
Meh, cop unions will still tell cops to vote Rat.
Cops with balls will vote for Trump, but big city cops? Many will “know better”, and vote Rat.
No need for Trump to go after Biden, Biden is just a figurehead who will have little power over the radicals in the party.
You must attack the Democrat Brand, hard! Constantly show Democrats saying ridiculous things and doing stupid stunts like this.
These jesters don’t even know how the kente cloth is made or where it comes from.
Chuckle.
Um, the cops union in NYC hate DeBlasio.
Don’t be fooled by the hierarchy’s backing away from defunding. Instead of defunding, they will hide behind crippling the ability arrest with rules, lawsuits, and the hiring of pro-criminal cops.
No need.
Trump is on his way to term 2. The riots was the nail on the coffin for Groper Joe. Any sane American know that if Biden wins, riots will be every day..
And the Mattress police
If a legitimate election is held, Trump will win in a landslide
