How does today's actions and non-response from the left affect how you view the politician you are voting for? If you typically vote left-liberal, will today's actions change how you vote?
Also, how do you feel about Hillary being forced to choose to either defend the LGBT community or muslims on this one?

Why would it change my vote?

Trump has expressed bigotry toward just about every minority group in America.

Republicans remain firmly the party of anti-gay bigotry.

Recently House Republicans rejected their OWN bill simply because Democrats were able to get an anti-discrimination amendment added to protect LGBT federal contractors from facing workplace discrimination.

What do you mean non-response? This happened a day ago? What has anyone actually done, aside from the medics and police officers who came to assist, to improve the conditions of this scenario by anyone? What were they even supposed to have done?

We haven't declared war on Afghanistan yet, so Obama is a communist. Are you seriously this blinded by partisan politics that all you can do is think about how much you hate the left?

So tell me, what have Republicans done to positively impact this situation? No, tweets from Trump do not count as doing something.

Good post. And you are right, other than slamming liberals, Republicans have done nothing to help.

No this isnt changing my vote because there are more issues than just terrorism. Secondly the republicans have done nothing for the gay community but push anti gay bills. However I do agree with Trump that something needs to be done about this. I dont agree with the ways he wants to do it and I dont agree with labeling muslims terrorist. I ha e muslim family members and they are some of the nicest people you will meet.

I personally just dont like the way he speaks towards minorities

What non-response? Obama and Hillary have postponed their Wednesday event in the wake of this tragedy.

Hillary has posted tweets and issued a statement, she offered her condolences, sympathy and support.

What has Trump done?

Absolutely not. There is no way in heck I'd want Trump as President given his lack of true response for this tragedy.

She wasn't and hasn't. You can defend both the LGBT community and Muslims at the same time.

Yea, because repeatedly calling Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas" isn't the least bit racist.

So, it seems to me that it doesn't matter that Obama's speech and Hillary's tweets downplayed the incident. As long as a democrat wins regardless, you're all happy? Even if it means selling your community out to appease those to protect muslim extremists?
