Tucker Carlson: If Republicans focused on law and order, there would be a red wave

Fox News host Tucker Carlson voices his concerns about rising crime in the United States and explains why it is an important issue Republican candidates should focus on.

"Candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome," he said. In other words, it's not my fault they sent me bad candidates. OK, but before we accept that, before we accept that a Republican just can't win at a time when Democrats have completely discredited themselves, it's worth pausing to ask exactly what this means. What is a bad candidate? Well, there are no bad candidates just like there are no bad dogs. There's bad owners. There are no bad candidates. There are just candidates who are running on the wrong things, candidates who are talking about issues that people don't deeply care about.  

A good candidate is the opposite of that. A good candidate is a candidate who promises to fix the problems that voters worry about most. Candidates like that tend to win elections because the message is bigger than the man. A candidate with a powerful message can overcome virtually any obstacle from multiple bankruptcies to universal media hostility to a dull, orange skin tone.
