Donald Trump’s campaign is betting on another terror attack
NY Post ^

Posted on 12/08/2015 9:44:56 PM PST by TigerClaws

My first reaction to Donald Trump’s call to ban new Muslims from entering the United States was that he had simultaneously won the GOP nomination and lost the general election. My second reaction was that events will prove one of those predictions wrong.

If there are no more terror attacks in America before the end of the primary season, most Republican voters will see Trump’s plan as too radical and he will lose the nomination.

On the other hand, if there are more attacks in the homeland, many more voters will move in Trump’s direction and he would almost certainly win the nomination and maybe the presidency.

The GoPro footage popping up in an ISIS-produced video would have the same effect.

Sad to say, we'll be lucky to get to the new year without another attack.

This has crossed my mind too: every Islamic attack steers us closer to a Republican President in 2016.

No, they're betting that the last one won't be shoved into the memory hole.

The last one, plus the one in Paris, plus the one in London a few days ago, should be enough.

The elites can't understand why ordinary people - the kind who get killed in these attacks - aren't willing to lean back in their easy chairs with glasses of sherry and say "oh, this isn't a problem, we can absorb more attacks like this."

Guess the writers at the Post figure there haven’t been enough attacks.

A fairly safe bet, considering we have already had at least 3 terrorist attacks this year.

That is a disgusting claim.

It’s a political calculation.

Trump doesn’t WANT an attack, but his sources are telling him worse is on the way.

We know of 1,000 active investigations of ISIS agents in the United States right now. This couple was off the radar.

So that’s how many more thousand willing to die for ISIS? Another thousand?

Paris attacks were a dozen people or less.

ISIS wants to own a day, like 9/11. It’ll be multi-city, one day, maximum chaos and on a day that means something to Christians and when their guard is down.

I’m voting for Trump without qualification, but that I see him coming into his own as a leader.

It is a pretty good bet. I can’t believe we don’t have one weekly.

“Betting On”?

Bezos, your subcribership and page clicks are going to suffer greatly.

Face reality. You’re going to lose starting yesterday.

DO not overlook the most vicious radical Islamic terror attack in Mumbai, where 126 people were murdered and another 293 severely wounded.

Exactly. The world has changed a lot in recent years, and the elites act like nothing has happened.

They can afford to act like that because they live in gated communities with armed guards.

Nobody betting on further Muslim violence has lost since the year 629.

Wow that’s gotta hurt, being worse than a fictional embodiment of evil because you make a common sense reaction to the real embodiment of evil. I wonder what insults Rowling has for the muslim murderers of innocents?
