California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) tore into Republican governors over how their states have suffered under GOP leadership.

He started with a quick dismissal of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R).

“One of the worst crime and murder rates in America and one of the worst mental health records of any governor in America,” he told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki. “I’m not so convinced about the merits of his leadership.”

Newsom said the problem wasn’t limited to Texas.

“Eight of the top 10 murder states are Republican states,” he said. ”Seven of the top 10 dependent states ― God forbid, dependent states ― are red states.”

He was just getting warmed up:

The life expectancy in the South and they’re not expanding Medicaid and prenatal care and providing child care? It’s jaw-dropping. How they all continue to get reelected is beyond me. Infant mortality? You care about life, and you look at life expectancy? You care about life, and you have kids that are gunned down by weapons of war? Spare me. All in the name of freedom, as you’re banning books?

“With all due respect, we should not be on the defensive as the Democratic Party,” he concluded. “The Republican Party should be on their heels, not us.”

We need an emoticon for "Pathetic Stupidity".

[auburnatl1 6,182]

As each party radicalizes more and argues constantly about who’s the least screwed up - the majority of the country just rolls their eyes and waits for a viable 3rd party more moderate option.  It’s coming. The 2 party system is officially broken and people are abandoning them. imo Maga and progressives have one thing in common: they’re both  destined to become irrelevant.

[I_M4_AU 8,943]

Says the governor that has seen a mass exodus from the state he governs more that anytime in its history.  Please run for president Newsom, it would be glorious.

I agree, but it needs to develop with down ballot candidates. Too risky this year to throw the race to Trump. Better yet, I wish we had a parliamentary system with coalition governments when no one party gets a majority.

There’s risk but you have 2 candidates polling in the mid thirties with much of their support vulnerable. Historic train wreck. Could go sideways but it’s as perfect as imperfect gets.

Ross Perot had a similar situation. Got 20% of yet vote and not a single state. The electoral college turns 3rd party candidates into spoilers. A third party has to build a base & down ticket officeholders over multiple elections to have a real chance.

Understand. But Perot ran against viable (ie not insane or with dementia) candidates or a a time where registered independents are now far and away the largest group. 
 

We’ll see.

This is literally, and I mean literally, the dumbest twisted way of thinking that I have ever seen.   It shows how dumb stats can be twisted to form an argument or opinion.   
Newsom is the dumbest idiot on the planet.    You could take Chicago, St.Louis, Baltimore, NYC, LA, New Orleans, Birmingham, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Newark, Detroit, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Tampa and a few others and make up the majority of murders in the country.  Most, if not all, all run and controlled by Democrats.   
Did Newsom mention this?  That guy throwing shade on anyone is pretty funny.

Speaking from a strictly Trump POV, if I didn't win the nomination, I would run third party. GOP has been no friend of his, and only begrudgingly accepts him because they have no other choice. Then they wait to turn on him the first moment they can. There are some exceptions to that, but no one in that GOP is loyal, and neither is trump loyal to any of them. So why not, as a final middle finger if he loses the nomination, run third party and watch the GOP meltdown all the way to a loss? I'd almost enjoy that, if it didn't mean we were stuck with a different, awful choice.

[TexasTiger 14,310]

California’s homeless problem has a lot to do with good weather. They aren’t all from there. The other related factor is housing costs. San Francisco does some stupid things on top of that and I’m sure LA does, too, but it’s not all about bad government.

Republican-controlled states have higher murder rates than Democratic ones: study

Ben Adler

7–9 minutes

---

Republican politicians routinely claim that cities run by Democrats have been experiencing crime waves caused by failed governance, but a new study shows murder rates are actually higher in states and cities controlled by Republicans.

“We’re seeing murders in our cities, all Democrat-run,” former President Donald Trump asserted at a March 26 rally in Georgia. “People are afraid to go out.”

In February, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., blamed Democrats for a 2018 law that reduced some federal prison sentences — even though it was signed by Trump after passing a GOP-controlled Congress. “It’s your party who voted in lockstep for the First Step Act that let thousands of violent felons on the street who have now committed innumerable violent crimes,” Cotton said during a speech in the Senate.

Last December, Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, told Fox News viewers, “America’s most beautiful cities are indeed being ruined by liberal policies: There’s a direct line between death and decay and liberal policies.”

But a comparison of violent crime rates in jurisdictions controlled by Democrats and Republicans tells a very different story. In fact, a new study from the center-left think tank Third Way shows that states won by Trump in the 2020 election have higher murder rates than those carried by Joe Biden. The highest murder rates, the study found, are often in conservative, rural states.

The study found that murder rates in the 25 states Trump carried in 2020 are 40% higher overall than in the states Biden won. (The report used 2020 data because 2021 data is not yet fully available.) The five states with the highest per capita murder rate — Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Alabama and Missouri — all lean Republican and voted for Trump.

There are some examples of states Biden won in 2020 that also have high per capita murder rates, including New Mexico and Georgia, which have the seventh- and eighth-highest murder rates, respectively. And there are Trump-supporting states with low murder rates, such as Idaho and Utah. Broadly speaking, the South, and to a lesser extent the Midwest, has more murders per capita than the Northeast, interior West and West Coast, the study found.

Those findings are consistent with a pattern that has existed for decades, in which the South has had higher rates of violent crime than the nation as a whole.

“We as criminologists have known this for quite some time,” Jennifer Ortiz, a professor of criminology at Indiana University Southeast, told Yahoo News. “States like Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama have historically had high crime rates.”

Criminologists say research shows higher rates of violent crime are found in areas that have low average education levels, high rates of poverty and relatively modest access to government assistance. Those conditions characterize some portions of the American South.

“They are among the poorest states in our union,” Ortiz said of the Deep South. “They have among the highest rates of child poverty. They are among the least-educated states. They are among the states with the highest levels of substance abuse. All of those factors contribute to people engaging in criminal behavior.”

“I thought that was a very good study,” Richard Rosenfeld, a professor of criminology at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and former president of the American Society of Criminology, told Yahoo News about the Third Way report. “In Republican states, states with Republican governors, crime rates tend to be higher. I’m not certain that’s related to the fact that the governor is a Republican, but it’s a fact nonetheless.”

(While the Third Way study divided states by presidential vote in 2020, using gubernatorial party affiliation leads to similar results because most states have recently chosen the same party for governor and for president. Based on presidential vote, eight of the 10 states with the highest murder rates lean Republican, versus seven of the top 10 if one uses the governor’s party.)

Although murder rates tend to be highest in the South, the biggest increases in 2020 were found in the Great Plains and Midwest, according to Third Way. The largest jumps were in Wyoming (91.7% higher than in 2019), South Dakota (69%), Wisconsin (63.2%), Nebraska (59.1%) and Minnesota (58.1%). Wyoming, South Dakota and Nebraska all voted for Trump and have Republican governors. Wisconsin and Minnesota voted for Biden and are led by Democrats.

Few large cities are governed by Republicans — only 26 of the 100 largest U.S. cities have Republican mayors — making apples-to-apples comparisons difficult. But cities that do have Republican mayors do not have lower murder rates than similarly sized Democratic-led cities, the study found.

Some experts warn against the impulse to use crime data to score quick political points.

“Being a Republican or Democratic state or city is correlated with many other issues,” David Weisburd, a professor of criminology and executive director of the Center for Evidence-Based Crime Policy at George Mason University, wrote in an email to Yahoo News. “That means that the murder rate may be due to the state being Republican, or it may be due to the fact that Republican states have many other risk factors related to crime or murder rates. Even with a very comprehensive modeling of all of these factors, it is very difficult to get a valid causal result for explaining crime rates.”

That argument cuts both ways, however. Weisburd also thinks the claims of Trump and other Republicans who say Democrats have caused a crime wave in the cities and states they govern are unfounded. “I don't think this argument can be supported no matter which way you go,” Weisburd said.

Murder rates in the U.S. rose dramatically in 2020 from record lows, and the increases are similar across states — regardless of partisan preference. For homicides in 2020, Third Way found a 32.2% uptick in Trump-backing states versus a 30.8% rise in those that voted for Biden. Some states with large cities, such as New York and Pennsylvania, saw larger-than-average increases: New York went up 47% and Pennsylvania is up 39%. But the largest increases were in rural, Republican-led states, including Montana (+84%) and South Dakota (+81%).

The higher national murder rate is naturally causing public concern, although violent crime does remain far below its early 1990s high point. “Using the FBI data, the violent crime rate fell 49% between 1993 and 2019,” from 757 incidents per 100,000 people to 379 per 100,000, the Pew Research Center noted last November. Between 2019 and 2020, the murder rate jumped from 6 homicides per 100,000 people to 7.8 homicides per 100,000, but that was still 22% below the rate in 1991 of 10 homicides per 100,000.
