Raddatz asks how anyone could object to the National Guard in DC because carjackings are down 87%. Brilliant. If they hermetically sealed all DC residents inside their homes, they could get that stat down to nothing at all. Should we do that, Martha?

Donāt forget the mulching. Thing is the presence of the guard might deter crime short term (at great cost), but eventually they will go home and crime will spike, probably to higher than pre-guard levels. Itās not a serious solution as my governor says.
