We turned another “corner” after Orlando, not good. I was talking to a friend who loves Trump but basically just gets her news from CNN or the paper. She didn’t know this happened.

I dont see a problem in how this is being reported. It was a lame attempt and its best not to make too much of it. Go away, Chelsea.

The leftist media likes
1. Foreigners illegally here
2. People who hate Donald Trump
3. Guns possessed by law enforcement.

Really, would a serious attempt have involved trying to get a gun away from a cop? This truly was a lone nut. In this case it’s right not to play it up. There are enough real conspiracies afoot.

It was serious as hell. Sure the guy is an inept dolt, but he had murderous intent driven by his media inflamed hatred of Trump. Identical circumstances involving Clinton and it would be headline news worldwide for two weeks.

I don’t know you but first impression is you’re an idiot. I suspect it wouldn’t take much searching to prove it.

Has anyone asked Hillary what she thinks about what happened?

All right girls, calm down.
Be-baw is making a good point. Look at it this way, why should we encourage people like this by publishing stories of it and having his name all over the NEWS. (That was his real purpose, anyway).
Same logic is used by many, including Trump, who won’t even repeat the name of the Orlando Pulse Club shooter.

He’s right, you are an idiot. He’s also been here for 10 years more than you, so you ought to mind your manners.

Because if the same thing happened to Hillary, such niceties would be thrown right out the window. Trump is exposing the dirt - attempts on his life will not be lessened by not reporting them. Rather, people need to know what he's facing.

He said he was planning the killing 1 year ago. Somehow the time line there doesn’t seem right. Trump was one of 16 at the first debate.

Hillary? hell I don’t know ... half the world would probably cheer the attempt, the other half boo the failure.
