Trump's post-Orlando message falls flat with Republican establishment
MSN News ^ | June 14, 2016 | James Oliphant and Luciana Lopez

The mass shooting in Orlando, Florida has allowed Donald Trump to seize upon a familiar issue he has used to great advantage -the threat of Islamist militants and his plan to limit Muslim immigration to the United States, offering him what could be a crucial moment to re-boot his sputtering presidential campaign.

But while rank-and-file voters might respond positively to Trump's renewed call for a ban on some Muslims entering the country, his reaction to the massacre showed few initial signs of winning over Republican foreign-policy figures who have spurned the New York mogul.

"It's a missed opportunity to present a different image," said Peter Feaver, a top National Security Council aide in the George W. Bush White House. "He has doubled down on policies I oppose and that aren't going to solve the problem."

These are the same people that haven't done crap for 30 years. And why we're sick of them.

The past 24 hours of news coverage has been a cavalcade of anyone the media could get on camera to say how sorry the are, and other obligatory condolences. No solutions, except to disarm innocent Americans.

Trump called like it is.

Newt liked it, The rest of the ones they put on TV are Rinos like RyanO, McQueeb, Linda, McTurdle. Who give them any thought. Trump and Cruz were a reaction to Rinos screwing up.

Of course his speech fell flat with the GOP Establishment, they are Bushites who think Islam is a religion of peace.

The GOPe wanted him to pivot into a Romneyesque personna - not going to happen.

But NOT with the voter. Congress has, what, an 8% approval rating. I am so sick and tired of the Uniparty/Establishment/Ryan/Graham/McConnell/Peolosie/Hillary.
