The Spin

Democratic narrative

When Trump tries to talk policy the discussion frequently becomes rhetorical absurdity. His solution for every issue facing the country is a scheme that appeals to him and his base because of its simplicity. It's laughable that anyone thinks the tough-on-crime candidate in this election is, ironically, a convicted felon.

MSNBC

Republican narrative

When it comes to picking a candidate who's tough on crime, Trump is clearly the better choice than Kamala Harris. Keeping America safe should be the top priority of any president, and Trump's track record shows he knows how to empower law enforcement to get the job done — both on the streets and at the border.
