Why does Trump think he’s going to win votes by bragging about letting convicted criminals out of prison?

If I’m a black person living in a high crime area, why would I want more criminals on the street? If I’m a suburban mom, why would I want more criminals on the street?

Are people really going to vote for Trump because he’s releasing prisoners?

For me, if that was something I wanted - release of prisoners - I’d be more inclined to vote Democrat.

Do you realize that you just admitted that you are a Never Trumper?

I’m also very uninterested in this issue—but apparently it’s a HUGE issue with black families and Biden (and Harris who is also weak here) can’t afford to get fewer than 80% of their votes.

I do agree with Dems that police overreach is a problem—for people of all races. One great thing Biden did last night is finally teach black kids (if any of them were watching) how to deal with police properly and not resist arrest. Most white parents already teach their kids that.

You don’t understand, so I’ll explain it to you. Trump let them out of prison because the Penalty was Disproportionate to the crime. Like 5 years for murder, but 25 years for cocaine possession. The average person who isn’t disconnected from society understands and recognizes this.

I think the focus of the Second Chance program is to release prisoners that were overcharged for non-violent offenses.
