She knows it's too late to win over the blue collar, white vote ... right?

I guess the shooter was having doubts about the midterms. The left's intolerance of the opposing view point is out of control

It's appalling and disgraceful.

i do believe the a portion of the left is intolerant,  but this is just one guy,  no different than throwing all Christians under the bus if one crazy bombs an abortion clinic.

Do the republicans have a strong farm? They'll have to call some guys up if they want to beat the Dems in tomorrow's game.

Apparently the GOP is out there practicing every morning at 6:30 AM.

The Capitol police deserve a lot of credit. This could have been far worse.

The interesting thing will be to see how many on the left publicly condemn this unconditionally, the vast majority I assume, versus those that do not which there will undoubtedly be at least a few.

I'm sure this is only the beginning. The American people are only going to tolerate being screwed by Republican's for so long before retaliating. Every bill since Republican's have gotten full control has been aimed at taking funding away from anything pertaining to the people of this nation. You can only be pushed so far before you start pushing back.

They'll use this incident for their anti-gun agenda. You can count on it.

Is Yahoo still a thing?

I'm not even counting that. Both sides have had way too many foot in mouth moments after these shootings. I'm talking more expressing glee about it happening. Anonymous internet keyboard tough guys not withstanding.

Well one thing that can unite us is the fact that we all wish McCain would have been at the practice.

I heard the word "bipartisan" this morning on one of the networks.

Haven't heard that word in a long time.

Another example of someone who gets their news from Facebook.

I'm not just referring to this shooting. Look at what's occurring on college campuses, protests and this Antifa BS. It's getting worse

Which really doesn't make much sense.  Nobody died because armed personnel eliminated the threat before that could happen. Soft targets are not a good thing

Weird news conference. Reporters will not accept the fact that it is early on in the investigation and there are not a whole lot of details right now. Ganging up on the FBI agent who's telling them he doesn't know anything more.

And the governor of Virginia has just said there are "93 million people a day killed by gun violence in this country." He repeated this twice and then was corrected by a reporter.

We will see, I don't think Trump gets past four years.  The American people have the attention span of a gnat.

That's because the baseball game is Reps V. Dems. That's as bipartisan as they will ever get

It's already started. Terry McAuliffe  took over the microphone at the news conference and launched unto an anti-gun speech. He also said 93 million people a day are killed by guns in America.

Remember when the Tea Party were criticized for their (peaceful) protests, and people on the left claimed that their rhetoric would lead to violence?
