U.S. ELECTION WRAP: Orlando Attack Rewrites Campaign Script
Finance Yahoo ^ | 6-14-16 | Derek Wallbank, Gregory Giroux

Posted on 06/14/2016 7:22:29 AM PDT by smokingfrog

Watershed moments occur in every presidential campaign -- unanticipated incidents, often tragedies -- that demand a candidate response and force voters to consider how White House aspirants would respond in the Oval Office to such critical moments.

Orlando is such a moment. The weekend attack at a gay nightclub in the city is most lethal shooting in U.S. history. Orlando changes -- at least for now and perhaps longer term -- the presidential campaign’s tone and tenor, providing a window to how the next president will respond in such crises.

"The MC told the crowd “Today, we’re all gay— today we’re all LGBT”: an identity of perversion, and I do not believe in that."

We hold these truths to be self-evident:

That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men...<.i>

Can you identify with the above statement?

Americans should not live in fear of being slaughtered, no matter who they are.

It's clear that our current government has fallen down on its responsibility to secure the above rights.

Like or dislike homosexuality, there is a bigger problem to deal with.

The song chosen to warm up the crowd was “Imagine”

They should have just gone with the Josie Cotton hit, "Johnny Are You Queer?" which the homosexuals have now adopted as a theme song.

Trump’s script remains the same - it just resonates better as Hillary and the MSM try to rewrite theirs to try to keep from being steamrolled....

He [Obama] is complicit in it.

Well, he was raised as a Muslim by his biological father for several years and then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's closest confidant, Huma Abedin, is rumored to have connections to the notorious Muslim Brotherhood. Small wonder why the Obama Administration is "soft" on radical Islam.

Bt Clinton and her thugs will do every thing they can to keep him out of office. We need to work hard and be vigilant

I even heard all the Faux News folks twisting Trump’s words and accusing him of saying things he has not said

Pretty much Mr. Trump won the election this past weekend.

Unless America's short term memory kicks in again. November 5 months away and most folks can't remember they sent a selfie a half hour ago so send another one or six.

I felt Sunday at first teh Islamic Terror attack on Americans in Orlando would turn the election in Trumps favor.

Now I’m not so sure. It seems these filthy Democrats always seem to sway public opinion to see things their way.

I’m not saying it still won’t go Trumps way. But the rhetoric you hear on the news is still anti-Trump and in favor of 0bama-Hillary that I get scared people will support their positions. Hopefully that won’t happen though.

I knew something dreadful was going to happen this election year. It was predictable. Hiliary is such a bad candidate something would have to “happen” to try to change the conversation of the election to gun control or something else. It’s just too suspicious.

I still stay that it is helping Mr. Trump. The speech he gave made him look like a President.
