    It’s actually kinda funny watching them flail around blaming nothing and everything because one of their own tried to shoot Trump. They were NOT prepared to deal with this situation at all.

        What additional evidence do you need? He was asked directly by the state what party he considers himself a supporter of, and he said Republican.

        Conservatives are going to try to disown him no matter what. Don’t let their endless bad faith requests for additional proof convince you that the facts here aren’t straightforward.

        If nothing gets released (like very little was released about the mini-arsenal, bump-stock Las Vegas mass shooter) he’s probably right wing. If there’s anything leftist about it you can bet they’ll dig for every possible way to exploit it.

        We may never be able to put him on so narrow a box, but he was registered, a gun nut, and he didn’t donate to Dems - that was just someone with the same name in the same state.

        That’s not confirmation, but thus far there isn’t any reason to believe otherwise.

        But also he was 20. It’s likely he didn’t have a strong personal affiliation with any political party.
