Remember when I said Trump would really benefit from a terrorist attack happening in the US before the election?

Orlando might just do it.

Largest since 9/11.
Deadliest shooting in US history.

Depends on which media sources you're listening to. On a radio update they read the Twitter reactions of both candidates. First read Hillary's which was the typical politician's condolence. Trump's was 'I told you so" which made him sound like a thoughtless, heartless to douchebag. Now both of them are thoughtless, heartless douchebags, but Trump did tweet out the typical politician's condolance before he tweeted "I told you so". Selective bias is an advantage for the Dems.

The real effect will be to further deepen the existing schisms. Gun control advocates will push more strongly for HRC; gun rights folks will (by necessity) move further to Trump. I don't see a net gain for either of them, but more impassioned rhetoric.

Look what Huffington Post did to one of Trump's Tweets about Orlando shooting

Am I missing something? 50+ people are dead, and what do we get from Trump?.... not a condolence, not a prayer, not a thought for the victims and family. What we get is him boasting about being right about terrorism... he's a class act. Love, how he essentially say "Yep, I was right, but I didn't ask you to point out that I was right.... but I'm still right."

You can read it however you want... Huffpo quoted a "." when the real quote had a ",".

That wasn't his first tweet on the topic...

This was:

I was listening to Wilkow on the radio today. He had the head of the Log Cabin Republicans on his show. They said how appreciative they were with the way Trump had reached out to them to give his condolences and show his support for the gay community.

Trumps response: I told you so
Clintons response: We need to ban guns

Both tasteless and disgusting.

But I know who I'm voting for. And it's not the one who pulled an Obama and used a national tragedy to further their gun grabbing agenda.

In all fairness he did tweat out the typical politicians condolance first. Just because the news you watch doesn't report it, don't assume it didn't happen.

Eta: someone beat me to it.

I thought it was a great speech. Only 2 things I would have said differently.

Andy Basiago for President

Joke Candidates Running For President Who Aren't Donald Trump

You shouldn't assume I don't pay attention to the details.... hence the "but."

I have to throw in with Trump on this one. He expressed condolences, but is focusing on preventing it from happening again, which at this point is the most important issue, as opposed to some others who want to cry for 5 minutes on CNN while perpetuating the problem by refusing to deal with the actual problem but rather blaming us (i.e., lawful gun owners) for it.

Forgive me for questioning if his condolences were sincere, and not simply and afterthought suggested by his media team.
