Trump brought the Rs and Ds closer together, utilizing Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump's Dem-friendly positions to do the leg work. They've spent two years quietly working on this & with a Dem. House the genius of it is clear.
So, prison reform. An issue of public interest bc we all have a stake in crime reduction and prevention.
The D position is give lip service to the rule of law & common sense, while telegraphing to criminals that they have ways of getting around it. And they do. Until we get tougher.
Some prosecutors and courts are not being tough enough.
Trump and the Kushners have gotten some Ds to the table. By trying not to alienate Ds, this window is open.
Personally I get pissed sometimes when I see Ivanka's positions on some issues. But I get what the President is trying to do here. It appears to be working.
Even if he wanted to lead prison reform for that purpose, these trolls merely reveal they have zero understanding of the policy program, or my thread.
LOL
