...The point about Chicago alone being responsible for a big part of a one or two year uptick shows some thinking.
Now here's an interesting and novel interpretation. When a person posts his opinion about the causes for changes in an area he is familiar with it shows "some thinking", but when other posters post their opinions about other areas they are familiar with, it shows a that they just "stick to their viewpoints".
When one is rigidly inflexible in their thinking, and unwilling to consider other viewpoints, the chances of being correct are substantially reduced (regardless of whether their view is rigidly right-wing or rigidly left-wing). If reducing crime was a simple matter, we'd have eliminated it by now.
The point about Chicago alone being responsible for a lot of the recent spike in murder stats is not opinion; it's fact. (Well, trusting that the cited facts are correct). How does this venture into interpretation?
It's good thinking (my opinion) in that it digs deeper into the facts than anyone else did. While I suppose that opinion is not a fact, it seems indisputable.
Trump may well be right that he'd have won the popular vote if he'd run for that. Running to win the E-lectoral college in order to win the e-lection makes the popular vote tally not necessarily a fair barometer.
Trump is a lying, blowhard braggart, egotistical, dis-regarder of fairness and decorum. Pretty much an admitted harasser. A horrible person.
I'd blow him out for his mis-treatment of people (bankruptcy shafting, treatment of women and others whom he can harm with relative impunity).
We'll see how it goes soon.
