You are correct. I had the date wrong, and thus the incident. Have I challenged you on that?
It doesn’t change the focus or my question about Trump.
The answer: Trump decided to comment in 2012 on the Fort Hood shootings of 2009 because he was gearing up for his political run.
Bringing up the 2014 shooting just confuses the discussion, that's all. Showing Cruz with Perry, on the 2014 shooting, doesn't tell us what Cruz and Perry did in 2009, or between 2009 and 2014.
