And I'm going to say it right now...

if he panders to the inner cities and forgets about the heartland he will be a one term President and we'll probably end up with a complete full blown socialist minority President in 2020.

We're in big, big trouble long term. Mad Max style trouble. Look no further than South Africa. They're about ready to eradicate us down there.

The view here in Chicago is that the police have stopped policing since Laquan MacDonald. They are usually outnumbered/provoked when trying to diffuse tense situations in tough neighborhoods and any physical response could wind up on youtube, perhaps out of context. So they just let everything play out on the streets.

My friend's 12yo kid was punched in the face and robbed of his cell phone on the way home from school in a nice neighborhood on the north side. The cops took 2 hours to show up and made no real effort to get descriptions of the muggers. The whole department is basically in donut mode, waiting to retire.

The killings will continue until the cops feel safe again and motivated to do their jobs. But I don't see any real momentum to fix that from current CPD leadership, Rahmfather (democrat), or the Governor (republican).

Change will have to come from grass roots community outrage or some type of Federal intervention.

Since He probably thought He wasn't going to win anyway, I think He will not run for a second term. He is going to hand it over to Pence. He gave a hint of this in his acceptance speech. He also can see what you look like after 8 years. He is too vain for that.
