The Polls Must Be Brutal

 This afternoon, the Democrat governor of Wisconsin changed his mind and accepted President Trump's offer to send federal officers to Kenosha to help restore order there.  It was a total turnaround by the governor.  Earlier this week, as building burned and stores were looted, the governor REFUSED federal help because the feds might interere with the "peaceful protests".  Really, you can't make this stuff up!  The governor didn't want fed help and in response to a request from the mayor of Kenosha for 750 state troopers, the governor sent only about 200.  Needless to say, it wasn't enough, and last night saw gunfire and shootings in Kenosha.

I wrote earlier about how the riots and the refusal of the Democrat governor to act to stop the violence as well as the refusal of Joe Biden to even criticize the rioters (who he calls peaceful protesters) would hand the state to Donald Trump and the GOP in November.  For some reason, these Dems who live in the bubble of leftist thought actually believed that the majority of Americans were okay with the city being burned down, stores looted and police and others attacked.  Well now the polling must have been done, and clearly, the results must have been brutal for the Democrats.  In one day, the Democrat governor went from refusing federal help and wanting to protect the peaceful protesters (who were anything but peaceful) to accepting indeed requesting federal help and condemning the violent thugs who have looted and burned and attacked the city.  

But it's too late.  Oh, the governor may be able to spin his way out of this mess by the time he has to run for re-election in 2022, but Biden who still has not even spoken about the riots, cannot recover in Wisconsin.  Far too many folks are horrified by the violence and destruction.  Trump has acted while Biden has remained hidden in his basement in Wilmington!  And given the way Biden fails to react, it's unlikely that Biden is suddenly going to come out an condemn the rioters.  His campaign will be too worried that it will alienate the leftist crazies like the Squad and the Twitter mobs.  People, especially in Wisconsin, won't forget that.  (And you can be sure that if they start to forget, Trump and the GOP will remind them.)
