    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

    • Democrats are demanding that Trump stay away from Ohio and Texas claiming that he'll just do more harm than good. What's really going to happen is that Trump is going to show up and give an inspiring, uniting speech in the best presidential tradition, and his critics are going to look like idiots. Again.

        The idiot Democrats are being divisive making this a "hate Trump" opportunity. I hope it comes back to bite them.

          Different cities seem to have their own Antifa organizations. Here is a facebook group from the Berkeley Antifa:

            I wouldn't be surprised if he gave an inspiring speech. After all, it will be written by someone else. The problem will not be the speech. The problem will be that in case it is a good speech it will make people wonder why he only has these points and talks in this way when something tragic has happened and then goes on with his hateful statements that a lot of people see as racist.

                It seems you were very inpsired by the unitinging speeches. (feel free to adress my points if you can).

                  Your point: "Trump delivers a great speech! But it doesn't fit the liberal narrative! So we're not going to give Trump credit for giving a great speech!"

                    Wrong. Read again: "The problem will be that in case it is a good speech it will make people wonder why he only has these points and talks in this way when something tragic has happened and then goes on with his hateful statements that a lot of people see as racist."

                    True reading it and try to confront what I actually said if you can.

                    • Having acknowledged that this shooter was probably antifa, I will also say I don't think it's relevant to consider this an antifa shooting or one inspired by liberal politics because the evidence suggests it was motivated by a personal grudge. Let's not be like those people who go on the comments sections of local news sites and whenever somebody is arrested, post "I BET THIS GUY WAS A (insert scapegoat political party here)."

                          Yeah, but that doesn't stop the Left anytime there's any tragedy, does it?

                          • The hilarious, if it wasn't so sad, thing is now that Trump mentioned "mental illness" as a cause for these shootings instead of guns, the liberal media is now defending mental illness and claiming it ISN'T a reason for these shootings.

                            They are literally against anything Trump is for or says. Like the Sanctuary cities. When he said he was going to send illegals to the sanctuary cities they set up TO KEEP ILLEGALS SAFE, they all balked.

                            Trump needs to come out against the second amendment so the liberals will defend it.



                            Are video games or mental illness causing America’s mass shootings? No, research shows

                            “Mental illness and hatred pull the trigger. Not the gun,” said President Trump on Monday, after two mass shootings in less than 24 hours.

                            So is mental illness to blame for America’s mass shootings? Not according to research.
