Actually. It will be painted against Trump. It was a a shooting in a gay nightclub after all. The shooter will be labeled as a bigoted trump supporter.
this will be a wash.
the shooter was a registered democrat. Trump is essentially a dem that hates brown people.
I think this tragedy is too far out to change an election - if anything, trump will be given a bigger voice to how he'd stop shootings like this. His incoherent half-answers about polls, greatness, and a 30 foot wall that can be defeated by a 31-foot ladder, won't help.
Maybe this helps the libertarian candidate, I don't know. Trump is going to start his fall in the polls now, he enjoyed the same "post-clinch" bump that mccain did, but he's peaked, I'd guess. FOX had him starting to fall yesterday.
