The Chicago crime references are gratuitous and dishonest. Birmingham, Alabama, has a higher violent crime rate than Chicago. So do Indianapolis, Phoenix, and many other cities that Trump isn't threatening with the federal military.

while those other cities might have a higher violent crime rate. Chicago still has a high homicidal rate which I would say is worse.

Chicago's homicide rate is lower than Indianapolis, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Cleveland, and Birmingham.

Benton WilsonTIM MILLER

fair but as an Arizonan I must stand for Phoenix. ; )

TIM MILLERBenton Wilson

Yes, that's fair. Phoenix's homicide rate is much lower than Chicago's, but their violent crime rate is higher. (But I'm from Detroit, so I don't really have room to talk trash about other cities' crime rates.)

It's almost like it isn't about crime at all...

Phoenix is a Democrat run city. Although our state legislature is slightly Republican, Our Governor and US Senators are Democrats. We've had a lot of California influx in the last decade or so. Also we had a poor Trumpite candidate lose those elections for us. She wasn't a very balanced candidate.
