The same analysis indicated that over 93% of those booked into detention had NO conviction for a violent offense.

The criminal is HIM.

77 million is only about 1/4 of our country. But fully half of US citizens are disengaged- they don't support him, but won't vote if their perfect candidate isn't on the ballot. This is what must change. An extremist minority should not have been allowed to install him.
