Trump Makes His Play for the Suburbs

Associated Press: “In tweets, campaign ads and new policies, Trump is trying to win over suburbanites by promising to protect their ‘beautiful’ neighborhoods from the racial unrest that has gripped some U.S. cities this summer. He’s sent federal agents to stem violence in cities, warned of a way of life being ‘obliterated,’ and raised the prospect of falling property values.”

“It’s a strategy with deep roots in presidential politics, racist overtones and some record of success. But even some GOP strategists and Republican voters note it doesn’t account for the rapid demographic changes in the suburbs and may be misreading the top concerns of voters he’s trying to retain.”
