Democrats face potential crack-up over crime; Republicans shouldn’t bail them out

From Paul Mirengoff at The Powerline Blog:

Neither, though, will they feel free to return to the tough on crime stances of Bill Clinton. Why? Because, as Frum explains, the party is highly dependent on black votes and thus constrained to accept the de-incarceration, de-policing agenda of groups like Black Lives Matter.

Thus, the issue of “law and order” (as we used to call it) has the potential to crack open the Democrats’ coalition.

But why, I wonder, are the Republicans working with the Democrats on this issue at all? Why not stick with the existing legislation that has worked so well and let the Democrats contend with their coming crack-up unassisted?

So the Republicans in the Senate should follow this piece of advice, "Never Interfere With an Enemy While He’s in the Process of Destroying Himself."
