Smartest thing Republicans can do right now is tell Democrats they need to tell people to go home and get out of the streets. Instead the Dems are just continuing to inflame and then saying "no violence" after saying they need to fight and get them all fired up. They lost their minds that Trump spent a couple of hours before going on TV telling people to go home and now it's been days and Dems are out there encouraging more protests.
He also should strongly consider enforcing curfews in some areas and telling people that they have to disperse and have proper permits to protest.
Of course the longer this goes on the more damaging it is for Dems. They don't have a George Floyd to point to, these are just vague riots with Mexican flags opposing enforcing the law. 70-80 percent of the country is disgusted by it.
