Two Debates Left to Go

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton had their long awaited first presidential debate. It's doubtful whether supporters of either candidate saw anything that would change their minds. Trump didn't go for the jugular as many expected, but assertively laid out job creation, trade protectionism and crime prevention planks of his platform. As a safety voter, I always enjoy hearing his depiction of urban crime as onerous upon hostages in those communities. Liberals embrace tormenters to the exclusion of their victims. Ironically liberal Republicans, as strict conservative detractors call Trump, don't. He cited his " stop & frisk " proposal for captive Chicago and acknowledged New York mayors Giuliani ( in the audience ) and Bloomberg for reducing minority male homicide with this tactic. While infuriating for urban non-criminals ( I encountered the Southern version in the 80s and 90s ), these sudden searches made thugs afraid to carry guns, which saved imperiled lives. Clinton rambled about mutual respect needed between police and urban areas. While Trump noted being endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police ( FOP ), I wish he'd asked why she didn't fill out FOP's questionnaire- a very disrespectful act. As a safety voter, the only one talking economic security, counter-terrorism and support for law enforcement was Donald Trump. I expect more of the same with two debates left to go. He's safety voters only choice.
