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."

The MSM quote a few Republican establishment types who have nothing positive to offer. Only attacks on Trump.
They quote a former Bush aide, a former Romney aide, a CFR member and Eliot Cohen as Republican establishment people. The MSM and these people are worse than useless.
Their reaction was written before the speech was made
GOOD. That’s EXACTLY why we are voting for him.
But electrified the American people.
The Republican establishment has become irrelevant.
The establishment will use any means necessary to prevent President Trump from taking office.
Any means necessary.
‘Trump’s post-Orlando message falls flat with Republican establishment’
Another endorsement.
Yes, Republican foreign-policy figures are so much more important than rank-and-file voters. /S
The Republican establishment...people like Bush, Graham and Romney...are as much the enemy of the people of this nation as are the Democrats and the Jihadis.
When is Sirhan's next parole hearing?
what could be a crucial moment to re-boot his sputtering presidential campaign.
Sputtering???
What planet is the writer from?
Trump is attracting huge crowds where ever he speaks.
Hillary can barely fill a room, that’s sputtering.
The establishment wants to double down on the stupidity of proclaiming Islam as “a religion of peace” despite ALL historical evidence.
We have Americans being killed because they refuse to acknowledge the threat of Islam.
Islam has been at war with everyone else since 622 A.D. and must remain at war with everyone else until there is no one else.
Wake up and smell the jihad.
Good. Bush's people oppose it...more proof that Trump is spot on!
Trump won the nomination in spite of the Republican establishment. Trump will win the election without them either.
GOPe still clueless.
Hillary can barely fill a room, that’s sputtering.
And many of them appear to be children of the adults in attendance
Spin, spin, spin.
Just because Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan disapprove does not mean that he nailed it.
Those feckless pukes in the GOPe are so afraid of the liberal media that they are incapable of saying and doing what must be said and done.
More liberal media BS ... lies lies and more lies. Luckily more and more people are getting wise to the LSM and their lies
So true..
This guy gets it !!!!!!!!!!
