>> Fear works. Have Democrats done enough to combat that?

POWERS: No, I think they’ve been caught flatfooted on the crime issue. The crime issue isn’t something that’s just happening in Democratic states. In fact, it’s happening in Republican states. It is happening at very high rates. Democrats have a pretty good record on crime. And yet, they’re not talking about it. In the same way there is a lot of people in this country who believe the Democratic Party supported defund the police. They didn’t. Right? And they just don’t do a good enough job of explaining what they believe. In part because they have a base that, you know, has opinions, that actually does support defund the police, or has differing opinions, so they're kinda trying to walk this line. But I do think that they should have been more aggressive about it, because it is something that is...a lot of people are very concerned about.
