Anyone who disagrees with Ms. Cupp is a misogynist, and a dumb one at that.

The meat of the article...

Clinton’s reticence to discuss race hints at the glaring reality that Democrats simply don’t have the answers on how to end the growing inequality that creates the distrust and civil unrest we’ve seen in Missouri and Maryland.

If any city is an example of the failures of liberal policies — from the economy to education to unemployment — it’s Baltimore, which has had a Democratic mayor for the last 48 years.

For decades, the city’s political elite has thrown billions at development projects that were somehow meant to trickle out toward Baltimore’s impoverished areas, but that hasn’t happened. The once-acclaimed Inner Harbor project hasn’t had the impact it promised. “Instead of revitalizing the city’s fortunes,” Todd Krainin writes in Reason, “the rise of the waterfront has paralleled the decline of basic city functions.Violent crime remains high, public schools underperform, and the cityscape is blighted by the presence of tens of thousands of vacant buildings.”
