Show-Me Amendment 4 Police Funding Winning In Kansas City?!?

Early polling has led to a great many surprises and despair amongst Missouri progressives.

Accordingly . . . This blog shares FIRST WORD of some important political news and the implications for Kansas City.

INSIDERS REPORT THAT MISSOURI AMENDMENT 4 POLLING TRACKS STRONGLY INSIDE KANSAS CITY PROPER AND THREATENS TO DEBUNK 'DEFUND POLICE' RHETORIC INSIDE CITY LIMITS!!!

This makes sense for a lot of reasons but let's go over a few . . .

Remember that Missouri media has already reported a 40 point lead for this effort in Missouri. That kind of landslide doesn't come from just rural voters .

Moreover . . .

With Trudy Busch Valentine atop the ticket . . . Democratic Party excitement is nearly non-existent and neither the Democratic base in KCMO nor STL is going to come out according to pollsters.

Amid record breaking violence in Kansas City, the anti-police "defund" argument is getting second guessed by even the most strident progressives. Despite social media chatter, most voters traditionally support public safety and Amendment 4 push back against "defund" advocates has garnered support at a time when locals seem to fear rising crime.

To be fair . . .

There's a lot of moving parts to this vote.

This post merely reports a great deal conversation revealing that a victory for Amendment 4 inside KCMO would completely DEBUNK talk about local control and realign conventional wisdom about progressive criticism targeting police.
