Could the violence in Kenosha cost the Dems WI?

Biden's lead is still around the +5 mark like it has been for a while, doesn't seem like he needs to start worrying just yet.

If the overall lack of character, and hatefulness of the Democratic Representatives over the last 5 years doesn't "lose them support", then a little more VIOLENCE probably won't have much effect at all -

Hillary lost Wisconsin last time, and it was a bit of a surprise. What is revealing is how close she came to losing Minnesota. The margin in Minnesota between Hillary and the Donald was less than the third party votes. She won by only about 50,000 votes and there were about 150,000 third party votes. Some of that was dissatisfaction with The Donald but most was dissatisfaction with Hillary.

Both states could be in play again this time around. In both states I wouldn't trust the accuracy of polling as the more conservative voters tend to resist being polled. A +5 polling margin means almost nothing.

Kenosha is an odd place. No telling what may happen as a result of the problems there. I think the protests and looting and fires in Madison are probably more relevant to the election. But time will tell.

Lack of character? Did they not pay off enough inappropriate contentstars, or throw enough paper towels to disaster victims? Or insult enough war heroes?

I think the silent majority will mostly back President Trump. The democrate support for the criminal riots has already lost Biden the election.

It seems to me that if the violence in Kenosha continues, that Biden could lose support among suburban women and lose WI. What think all of you?

It's possible. Depends on how long the violence continues and what the city's response to the shooting that sparked it is.

I am more focused on a young man viciously and needlessly paralyzed by police, his three children in the car forever traumatized and grieving.
I think suburban mothers can empathize with Blake's mother, a prayerful woman urging protesters to be peaceful, but also obviously heartbroken, anguished, despairing.
A clueless, heartless Republican convention ignores the problem of racism in America.
Trump needs to realize suburban housewives are empathetic women who value justice--in other words, women who believe in the real message oh Jesus, not the distortions of the religious right.

You know this riot started after a cop grabbed an unarmed man who was walking away and then shot him in the back multiple times, right?

What sort of environment are we living in where Democrats lose political support when people riot over stuff like this but Republicans don't lose political support for shrugging their shoulders at these abuses?

I think it might depend on how they view what caused it.
Was accessive force used again by police?

What bothers me is the attitudes of people who are reputed to be pro life.The young man was shot 7 times...7 times in the back while being held by his shirt and his children was in the car witnessing it all. What kind of Christians are they?????

BUT in the final analysis, GOD will choose the course of the U.S. Government, and He'll let those who don't know Him THINK that their "elections" made the selection. I'll personally pray that He DOESN'T give us the government we deserve because of our rejection of Him.

I would get a blasphemy warning for calling the Christian deity deceptive but here this is.

God has a "permissive will." He gives people enough rope to hang themselves. We're gasping for breath right now-- but that's not God's doing.

Follow the second great commandment--send Trump oacking.

Not deceptive at all. Folks who aren't Born Again of the Holy SPirit have no capability of seeing THE HAND oF God in action, and so they formulate their OWN FOOLISH FANTASIES about their supposed "wisdom and understanding" (Hos 4:17).

Was that a Democrat that shot the Black man in the back?

If we got the government we deserved, we'd have a tyrannical fascist with cognitive impairment. Oh, wait, we're getting that now. Maybe God just hates America.

And now we get 'The Rest of the Story'.
‘He Wants Riots’: Tucker Carlson Rips Wisconsin Governor, AG For Refusing To Say If Jacob Blake Was Armed
“Blake was wanted on a warrant for sex crimes,” the Fox News host continued. “He had a history of violence including domestic violence. Seconds before he was shot, critically, Blake was fighting with police. That’s clear from the rest of the video, video that we didn’t see until after they started burning the city of Kenosha.”

“In the tape police appear to tell Blake to drop the knife,” he said. “Blake had been arrested before for threatening people with a gun, so the police did have a reason to be nervous. Blake refused to surrender. He went straight for his car and reached for something. That’s when the police shot him.”
