The never-ending POTUS Election thread....

[peplaw06]

And you think the media does that just to sensationalize? Like its not really an issue?

I never said the media reports on violent crime ONLY to sensationalize. They certainly do sensationalize it though, because it sells. I used to work in that business, and the saying "if it bleeds, it leads" is certainly true.

But most people have no idea that violent crime is actually down, and has been trending that way for 2+ decades. Most people think the violent crime rate is as bad as ever... do you have another explanation for why that is?

Is he trying to lose my vote?

 

[Dodger12]

I asked another poster to explain how it's not a fact that the violent crime rates have been steadily decreasing for years. You decided to interject yourself into that conversation and started talking about possible reasons why the fact exists... which isn't responsive to my post at all. You literally had no idea or understanding of what we were talking about before you hit the keystrokes. So like I said, read better.

It's responsive when one of your statements needs some correcting. That while crime rates were dropping, most probably (in part) for reasons I posted, they are on the increase. I interjected myself to add value and help a fellow poster like yourself. The least you can do is thank me.

And now you're cherry-picking by citing rates in a few cities instead of the country as a whole, and discounting the crime rates I cited because they "only" go to 2014.

Two things. Pointing out trends that only run to 2014 and making them deffinitive is no better than CZ homers who chime in that we're more of a 12 and 4 team because of what we did then. Things change. And we're almost 2 years removed from those stats. You only need to do a little more digging to get a more accurate assessment. And second, it's neither cherry picking nor do I discount crime rates overall:

FBI: Murders and other violent crimes increased last year - The Washington Post

FBI: Murders and other violent crimes increased last year

The number of violent crimes committed across the country was up in the first half of 2015 compared with the same period a year earlier, with increases seen across the country and spanning different types of crimes, federal authorities said Tuesday.

The numbers of murders, rapes, assaults and robberies were all up over the first six months of 2015. Overall violent crime was up 1.7 percent, an increase that followed two consecutive years of declines, according to the FBI.

Between January and June 2015, the number of murders was up 6.2 percent, with the biggest jumps seen in the country’s smallest and largest areas. Murders were up 17 percent in areas with fewer than 10,000 residents, while murders were up 12.4 percent in places with between half a million and a million residents and up 10.8 percent in places with more than 1 million residents.

The FBI found that violent crime increased in most regions of the country — with one notable exception. It actually fell by 3.2 percent in the Northeast, even as it ticked up by 5.6 percent in the West, 1.6 percent in the South and 1.4 percent in the Midwest.

Note the emphasis on the country's smallest and largest areas. Hardly cherry picking.

2015 just ended not too long ago, and it takes time for the FBI to compile and analyze the numbers from all over the country. I'll wait for the FBI numbers to see if my point needs adjusting or not... I'm not impressed by some lobbying arm of law enforcement saying a few cities have seen an uptick.

The stats above do not bode well for 2015 or what we are seeing in 2016. And these numbers are from the FBI, not some lobbying arm of law enforcement.

And since you mention the FBI, their Director cites an increase in murder rates. In some cities, those jumps are pretty significant. But I digress. I'm sure it's not a problem; just more cherry picking from the source you deem the most reliable.

Right. I don't know if anyone could unify our country, but I do know neither of these two can.

As long as the Dims and Libtards keep trying to be divisive and intolerant of others nobody will be able to unify the country.

the MSM is too busy screaming in sympathy for that muslim dead soldiers family supposedly insulted by trump. Nothing about Hilary and her basically calling the mother of one of the Benghazi victims stupid. Naturally.

She actually called the woman (two of them) liars.

She also said that FBI director Comey never said she lied about anything with her emails.

 

[Scot]

This has been a rough 72 hours for Trump

I had hoped that after his speech at the RNC that he had finally turned the corner and he wouldn't blurt out stupid shit anymore

But no such luck

He is still saying stupid shit daily

If he would just go into hiding and nail the debates he could win this election

But I fear the more he talks the worse his numbers will get as he continues to alienate more and more ppl with his remarks

I have no idea why someone in his campaign isn't telling him to knock off this stupid shit and to act presidential for once

 

[dbair1967]

What exactly did he say?

 

[Dodger12]

He made some disparaging remarks against a Muslim family that lost their son to a car bomb in Iraq. The parents of that soldier spoke at the DNC and hammered Trump on his stance against Muslim immigration and his knowledge of the Constitution. While I think it's a double standard from the way the left treated the parents of the Benghazi dead, Trump should have just stayed out of the fray but he doubled down. He just can't help himself and I get that he's a "counter-puncher" by his own definition but he needs to stay away from grieving parents.

Oh, and they asked Trump if he's "sacrificed." It was a loaded question. He's never sacrificed to the level of a parent who lost a child. Just admit that and move on.

frankly it means nothing. Because guess what? There are few in this country right now that have much sympathy for ANY muslim.

And by the way you need to check the background on the father. which of course the MSM has carefully avoided talking about.

by the way what has Hilary sacrificed. And the way she treated the mother of one of the Benghazi victims. Trump needs to make sure this is talked about.

PHILADELPHIA, PA - JULY 28: on the fourth day of the Democratic National Convention at the Wells Fargo Center, July 28, 2016 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton received the number of votes needed to secure the party PHILADELPHIA, PA - JULY 28: on the fourth day of the Democratic National Convention at the Wells Fargo Center, July 28, 2016 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton received the number of votes needed to secure the party's nomination. An estimated 50,000 people are expected in Philadelphia, including hundreds of protesters and members of the media. The four-day Democratic National Convention kicked off July 25.

Khizr Khan, the Muslim father of a slain American soldier, is an attorney who has previously written in a law journal about Islamic law. He specifically wrote about the purity of the Quran and the Sunnah over all other texts and interpretations.

Khan rose to fame after speaking at the Democratic National Convention Thursday and pulling out a pocket U.S. Constitution imploring if Donald Trump had even read it.

Khan wrote “Juristic Classification Of Islamic Law” in the Houston Journal of International Law in 1983. In it he breaks down different levels of Islamic law. Khan writes that the Quran and the Sunnah which were both directly created by the Muslim prophet Muhammad were the only sources in Muhammad’s lifetime that “were recognized as binding.”

Do You Think It Was Mistake Of The DNC To Allow Khizr Khan To Speak At The Convention?

“The Shari’ah-was completed during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammed, in the Quran and Sunnah. This brings up an important fact which is generally overlooked, that the invariable and basic rules of Islamic Law are only those prescribed in the Shari’ah (Quran and Sunnah), which are few and limited,” Khan continues to write. “All other juridical works which have been written during more than thirteen centuries are very rich and indispensable, but they must always be subordinated to the Shari’ah and open to reconsideration by all Muslims.”

Khan also has extensive ties to the Saudi government and was on staff for a law firm that specialized in Muslim immigration to the US. He also has ties to the Clinton Foundation.

His speech last week was nothing about losing his son, it was all political. But if he wants to blame anyone for the loss of his son, maybe he should blame Hillary, after all she voted for the war that her son lost his life in. Trump on the other hand has been steadfast in his belief that we never should have went into Iraq.

Also, another one of the Benghazi victims parents has come out and said Hillary lied to their family as well about the "video" being the cause of their son's death.

I don't disagree with your entire post and the following posts regarding the father. But it still plays bad. It's a losing proposition for Trump and, yes, it is hypocritical when they feign anger when this father is questioned yet attack the Benghazi parents for their anger and frustration with Hillary.

Trump has to appeal to the undecided voters and independants. Both sides have their core. He's just alienating some folks when he could have taken the high road with grieving parents.

I also agree with a commentator last night who was former military who didn't like the fact that these parents were using their son'd death and sacrafice for political gain. In other words, they made their son't death a political issue. But it still plays bad.

 

[dbair1967]

I read today that the media has given over 50x the coverage to this Khan guy that they gave to Pat Smith.

Also, virtually NO coverage was provided of the parents who spoke at the RNC who's children were murdered by illegal immigrants. Most of the mainstream media didn't show one second of any of their speeches, instead panning away to have talk time with their pundits.

Gee, wonder why this is?
