"The Issue of Public Safety May Be About to Play Its Most Significant Role in Our Politics Since the Mid-1990s"

"Black Lives Matter has already been losing support in the polls, while trust in the police has been rising. Things would have to get orders of magnitude worse for crime to become as central an issue as it was in the 1970s. But safe streets is a non-negotiable expectation of all voters. It's why 'law and order,' whether wielded demagogically by George Wallace or much more responsibly by Ronald Reagan, has such power." 

Rich Lowry at Politico warns that "Democrats Ignore the Crime Spike at Their Own Peril."
