This mass shooting was Trump's fault. That's all there is to this. It was Trump Derangement Syndrome brought on and exacerbated by the folks at Time and the MSM. If he hadn't run they would have had to pick on wimpish, politically correct Jeb, and almost no one would have believed their BS.

It’s an amazing thing to watch. Trump injects that
congrats line at the start of a tweet that is dripping with strong emotional words that bring up images of leadership and strength. The congrats phrase makes it irresistible to the libtard press, they have to attack it, thereby making the tweet viral.

Meanwhile, Hillary tweets that she was asleep when the incident took place, and woke up to it. Her tweet is dripping with weakness.

Trump uses liberal outrage to get his message out for free. Hillary pays millions to get out messages that help Trump.

He’s going to mop up the floor with that tired old crook.

Of course he does. From the `rats and their quisling ally RATs and their MSM.

If Trump said he had some bad egg fu yung for lunch they would call him a racist Sinophobe.

Nothing makes people angrier than in-you-face evidence that you've been wrong, and further, that you've been hoodwinked by a choompuffin' homo.

Trump is right, therefore the leftards heads are exploding.

They’re only focusing on the first three words.
And that’s all the low informed will listen to it’s how the media got Obama in the WH and got us where we are now and they are still blind to the facts of his failures.

typical leftists are uptight because Trump is right although they will never admit it. Meghan McCain is a lefty but they trot her out as a supposed voice of the young generation of Republicans.

Nope, I think he intended that tweet to have an element that the media couldn’t resist.

We’ve had plenty of political critters who use words that have been carefully crafted to avoid controversy. Trump is turning the attack reflex of the legacy media against them, in effect using them to propagate his message for free.

Seems like every day there’s another Trump “gaffe”, blood coming out of her, whatever or a Taco Bowl on Cinco de Mayo. Yet Trump keeps picking up steam.

It’s a new kind of campaign. I’m starting to think the old rules don’t apply.

YUP! I watched 13 Hours, The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi for the second time yesterday. Weakness describes her perfectly. She is weaker than even Obama is. The Clintoons have no business being in the White House with the mess the world is in. Thanks Obama. Clintoon needs to get out of this race. She has already made more money than she is going to need for the rest of her life.

I am sure they will blame the actions of the Muslim that did this on Trump... just like they did Bush... However, unlike Bush Trump will not sit by while the left attacks...

Good for Trump keep calling it what it is...

-- ... what good are these background checks anyway? --

If some cranky civil servant or an irritated partner wants to take revenge on you, they turn you in to NICS and take your guns away. Doctors can play along too, reporting you to be stressed or depressed, and voila, no more legal guns for you.

The goal, eventually, is to disarm the public. No way is the government going to back off any measure that increases the burden for obtaining and bearing arms, and no way is the government going to make it any more difficult for them to take your guns.

Every act of violence is a pretext for disarming the public. That pressure is never going to go away. It's been steady for a little over 100 years.

Or we could grow up and realize that leaders say things they mean and not what the focus group says. We demand focus group leadership and teleprompter perfection and then we claim that we want authenticity.

..... He can still make his statements but have somebody edit then have him approve the message before it's release. The spin machine is having way to easy a time with this stuff. The way I worded it would still have gotten the idea across in a powerful way on many more levels while making it easier to defend your statements. As it stands now ... he will have to clarify his statement with another "What I meant to say " statement.

Kind of makes one wonder what and how the press would handle one Harry S Truman in todays world.

Remember a reporter one criticized Margaret Truman’s singing and Truman either outright threatened to punch him out or at the least he ‘invited’ him to the woodshed..

And all of us ‘old fartz’ know what a trip to the woodshed meant. OR ‘Grandma’ telling you to ‘Go get a switch’...

‘it’s how the media got Obama in the WH’

It’s apparently escaped your notice that Trump isn’t Romney or McCain. What worked on them doesn’t work on Trump.

Exactly, it wouldn’t matter what he said. Those of us who are not insane know what’s going on. Obama says homophobic guns kill people. those of us living in the real world know the truth.

It's insanity that simultaneously gays are given even more latitude to publicly display their tendencies while strict Muslims who practice Sharia Law are being brought into the US. How can the dems possibly embrace both groups?

Oh, yeah, they'll blame the gun rights of US citizens for THEIR insanity.
