Ain't that the truth. This will make or break him. nolabear Jun 2019 #2
Yeah, Corgigal Jun 2019 #5
Absolutely. Where are you streaming it from? nolabear Jun 2019 #6
Hubby found it off Corgigal Jun 2019 #7
Agreed . . . Iliyah Jun 2019 #4

I think if he continues to run for president with such a big problem in his city it's going to cause Indygram Jun 2019 #10
To me, this is his Achilles' heel. RLG Jun 2019 #23
Really? leftofcool Jun 2019 #37
Do you truly believe low information African American voters will overlook this? RLG Jun 2019 #44
I honestly don't know how he can address this. nolabear Jun 2019 #8
Just switched to CNN...he looks so uncomfortable Indygram Jun 2019 #9
Well, it is an appropriate bellwether. He did as well as anyone could. nolabear Jun 2019 #21
I think he has a lot of work to do at home Indygram Jun 2019 #28
You think? I don't think he could, but it's being used against him. nolabear Jun 2019 #30
He's doing the best he can all things considered Indygram Jun 2019 #43

My DU'ers. Corgigal Jun 2019 #12
I agree completely with your take on this. MBS Jun 2019 #19
He does listen beautifully. I'm monitoring responses now. nolabear Jun 2019 #24
the criticism of his emotional state is pretty unfair. that's just how he is JI7 Jun 2019 #36
that's a tough line Skittles Jun 2019 #39
Yeah, Corgigal Jun 2019 #40
This would be tough regardless of who the mayor was peggysue2 Jun 2019 #13
I do not know why there has been that reduction in Black officers. Maybe they said it riversedge Jun 2019 #15

Thanks much. riversedge Jun 2019 #42
This retired LEO Corgigal Jun 2019 #41
I have been watching for the hour or so. Voters are very angry. I give Pete credit riversedge Jun 2019 #14
Have to agree, maybe too cool. These folks have genuine appalachiablue Jun 2019 #16
Yes, many have made it know, that this have been going on for a LONGGGGGGGGGG time. They riversedge Jun 2019 #18
Doesn't help that RandySF Jun 2019 #17
It did not happen 'on the heels', it was 2012. Also Boykins ended up not Celerity Jun 2019 #20
Sometimes facts are too complicated and take too much reading and research to ascertain. mobeau69 Jun 2019 #22
Unfortunately this new tragedy is probably going to do him in. Perception is everything in politics, Celerity Jun 2019 #47
It doesn't matter. RLG Jun 2019 #25
I simply corrected an incorrect statement about it being 'on the heels' as it happened over 7 years Celerity Jun 2019 #46
Get it right. He didn't wire tap other cops. Didn't his sec'y find out... brush Jun 2019 #31
Listening to tapes and keeping it going without informing the other party is wiretapping by Celerity Jun 2019 #45
The chief didn't initiate the taping and was not charged. brush Jun 2019 #48
hopefully he will still be able to be UN Ambassador lapfog_1 Jun 2019 #26
Maybe something more substantive. A new department. nolabear Jun 2019 #27
The behavior of some of the speakers was highly counterproductive. BannonsLiver Jun 2019 #29
All the candidates need to have their feet put to the fire, not just Biden and Sanders, and it looks still_one Jun 2019 #32
There's always... Hassin Bin Sober Jun 2019 #33
Yes. Of course that isn't what I meant by candidates having their feet put to the fire, that is still_one Jun 2019 #34

I hear you, and I know you're right. CaliforniaPeggy Jun 2019 #52
I think he'll find the right words and actions to get through blm Jun 2019 #54
