        Well of course. Trump & company have been salivating over this. They ‘re counting on it.

        And it shows in the way that Trump will emphasise and politicise terror attacks where 1-2 people are killed in Europe (tragic as this is) while acting like mass shootings in the US are tragic natural disasters. He longs to exploit a tragedy

        I didn't know "hoping that terrorists attack" was a viable political platform.

        He’s saying the quiet part loud. Trump is itching to boost his popularity with some unifying violence.

        Not defending what was said but this doesn't surprise or shock me. It's politics. Just like democrats are hoping that the economy goes down and trump starts a war.

        For future electoral success, the GOP is working with a blueprint that leaves out the following: Hillary Clinton isn't the candidate The country now knows how cravenly partisan the GOP will be Their tax plan is viewed as the reverse Robin-Hood that it is They damaged healthcare

        Continuing the Trump-inspired trend of blurting out the subconscious subtext.
