Donald Trump‘s embrace of “law and order” on the campaign trail is a risk that could pay big dividends, political experts say. Trump, who is on the verge of becoming the Republican presidential nominee next week, has begun to characterize himself as “the law-and-order candidate” in the wake of last week’s mass shooting in Dallas, where a sniper killed five police officers and wounded another seven. It’s a loaded phrase, harkening back to the 1960s, when Republican presidential candidates Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon adopted it during the campaigns of 1964 and 1968, respectively. Trump’s resurrection of the language could further erode his standing with minority voters.
