I highly doubt that because he hasn't said a thing about the incident and considering how bigoted he has been that is very doubtful

He'll bury himself politically upon doing that. His hubris will be his undoing.

Oh, of course he said something -- tweeted something, specifically. Just the kind of thing you'd expect -- he congratulated himself.

"Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism, I don't want congrats, I want toughness & vigilance. We must be smart!"

Tweet from Trump this morning: “Appreciate the congrats for being right on radical Islamic terrorism.”

Everybody loves a huge ego, right? This guy can't go one day without announcing to the public how great he is. Any five year old could have predicted a terror attack on the U.S. sometime in the near future - and I guess one did. LOL!

Trump as the Republican nominee, with his questionable rhetoric and weak fundraising and campaigning infrastructure, could combine with ongoing demographic shifts to turn Cobb and Gwinnett counties blue for the first time in over a generation. I think flipping Georgia as a whole is going to be more difficult as the rural and exurban parts of the state are extremely Republican, and would be more receptive to his approach.

He has a few more months to turn people off...he's trying his best to do it and I have faith that he will alienate enough people to guarantee a win for the opposition.

Well that's his exact problem right now.

Based on that fact he's continuing to behave in the manner that won him the GOP primary apparently thinking that will continue to work when it won't.

You have to pivot to the center to win the general. It's politics 101.

He doesn't seem to understand that, and his political naivete and inexperience is showing.

This doesn't make sense because bigotry fuel terrorist in the first place. People with Trump world views are the reason there are terrorist.



So the guy saying hate stuff about Muslims, which the fuel of it is some how going to stop it.... not it make worst?


Trump already has violent protesters,.................... think about how weird that is already........ Trump view could increase treats. Again I do not understand Trump Supporters.
