        it doesn't but that's not his point. From his POV, years of failure is going to take time to undo -- nm - oblique Jun 13, 12:21

        if anything, the platform will be the only outlet at the convention for Ted Cruz's warriors to prove their right-wing bona fides -- nm - senor dentista Jun 13, 12:17 4
        
        I mean the actual platform...the things they party does, not the red meat in the pointless convention platform -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 12:19 3
        
        the party's platform is what they vote on and adopt at the convention -- nm - senor dentista Jun 13, 12:20 2
        
        I'm more interested in their actions then their convention words. -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 12:22 1

  - Like Florida? -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 11:55
  - the Clinton campaign must be doing cartwheels. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 13, 11:42 25
    - Like I said earlier, I think these reactions are likely to help Trump in the polls for the next few weeks. - Inigo Jun 13, 11:44 23
      - Oh for sure. This terrorist attack is the best thing to happen to his campaign in awhile. -- nm - Jovian Jun 13, 11:47 3
        
        best thing for his campaign if he wanted to take a shot at the Obama Administration and Former Sec. Clinton. - Mel Profit Jun 13, 11:55 2
        
        Well he did imply Obama is a secret Muslim and since Clinton was acting on his behalf. . . -- nm - jnine Jun 13, 11:58 1
        
        that's great! from a Clinton campaign perspective. the more nutty the better. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 13, 12:22
      - It certainly appeals to his base, but I don't think it's going to bring in a lot of new supporters. -- nm - jnine Jun 13, 11:45 2
        
        "People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it." - Will Hunting Jun 13, 12:01
        
        if there are more attacks (god forbid) they will. -- nm - Remlik Jun 13, 11:48
      - i don't. it's just another opportunity for him to show how fundamentally unqualified and unserious he is as a candidate -- nm - senor dentista Jun 13, 11:45 15
        
        The people that seem to be interested in voting for him don't seem to care - oblique Jun 13, 11:55 4
        
        As long as the groups he is offending get more-and-more aware, I am game. -- nm - Spawn Jun 13, 11:58
        
        sure, but that's not enough to win a national election -- nm - senor dentista Jun 13, 11:57 2
        
        so, what are you all worried about then? :) -- nm - oblique Jun 13, 12:09 1

        I hope you're right, but he's getting to act like a falsely humble Nostradamus with this. - Inigo Jun 13, 11:53 9
        
        That's like if Nostradamus had said it's going to rain some day in the future. I guaranty you this is not the last event of this kind. No matter who - pmb Jun 13, 11:54 6
        
        the worst thing is that it came out that the FBI looked into him. That is built in "look at the failure" card. -- nm - groiny Jun 13, 12:06 5
        
        They looked and saw an angry man exaggerating his ties to Islamist organization to make himself feel important - znufrii, dad. Jun 13, 12:16 2
        
        that is the truth, what people hear is FBI looked into him, and then he shoots up a club. - groiny Jun 13, 12:18 1
        
        Well if that misapprehension is what it takes to get people behind common sense gun laws in this country, I'm sure Obama would say - znufrii, dad. Jun 13, 12:20
        
        On the one hand, yes. On the other it shows that 1) his "jihadist" link are tenuous and 2) that the FBI could use more tools like being able to block - pmb Jun 13, 12:11 1
        
        sure, which current leadership have been unable to get done. - groiny Jun 13, 12:14
        
        But he's focused on immigration and the guy was born here! I understand, don't burden him with facts. -- nm - jnine Jun 13, 11:54
        
        Stopped clock and all that. -- nm - TWuG Jun 13, 11:53

      - Guy arrested yesterday in Santa Monica was from Indiana. I think we're starting to see where the problem lies. Bye Hoosiers. -- nm - jnine Jun 13, 11:45 3
        
        It would be fascinating to see the world in which Orlando guy got caught and Santa Monica guy didn't. -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 11:47 1
        
        He had a Bernie sticker on his car. Imagine Trump with that meat. -- nm - jnine Jun 13, 11:49
