The experience from Europe is that Islamic terrorist attacks ALWAYS benefits the right. Always. People get frustrated and looks for easy hardliner solutions, even the illogical ones (like banning muslims from entering the US despite the perpetrator being a US citizen). Clintons cold logical thinking is probably more likely to find favour with voters when there is a major international crisis, rather than a terrorist attack where voters will go for the blowhard.

Forgive me for being alarmist, but if this does help Trump in any clear way, I'm very scared that ISIS would organize another event like this in early November to ensure Trump wins. They realize that making Trump president would almost be on par with whatever else they could dream up.

Sigh.

Dangerous times, and heaven forbid the country actually see the value of even-handedness...

I have thought this for a long time. An ISIS terrorist attack in late October to ensure the election of Donald Trump.
