    I seriously doubt this scenario. Haley was Trump’s biggest challenge in the primary and she has backed him. People cross register parties all the time. We should let the forensic investigation play out to find out what this dude was up to in the days and months leading up to this event.

    How do you know what specific type of media this registered Republican shooter consumed?

    Oh I agree in principle.

    The call has been strong on more than a few message boards including this one.

    One never knows how a mentally unwell person will receive and process information.

    Time will tell and it may not be so black and white.

    Both sides share plenty of blame in upping the fervor.

    I don't, but neither do you and it was you who brought in Fox News.

    I do know that the shooter was a registered Republican though. I can make a pretty educated and logical guess as to what type of media registered Republicans tend to consume. Want to take a stab at it?

    I will say that he was wearing that t-shirt linked to the YouTube channel seems a little too convenient considering said YouTube channel isn’t anti-Trump, but can be passed off as GOP friendly. I think he had to know the likelihood of being killed was high and that’s how he chose to go out. Just doesn’t add, but yes, we need to let the facts come out.

    Don't think there is anyway the outcome of this is anything but terrible for our already fractured country. God help us. Hopefully clear heads prevail but they seem to be the minority nowadays.

    This has been going on by the left since Trump came down the escalator in 2015, 9 years, so don't give us this shit about both sides are to share plenty of blame for upping the fervor after the republican candidate came maybe an inch away from a kill shot and a successful assassination. If Trump hadn't turned his head to look right, he would have been killed by the assassin.

    Sad day for America. Differences should be settled by civil discussion and compromise by all sides to move the country forward. Elections should be decided at the ballot box not in the cross hairs of a snipers rifle. Let the investigation move forward. Say a prayer for the family that lost a loved one and the family hoping their loved one recovers. I know Donald Trump since I am seven years old. He was repugnant then as well but this is no way for Americans to behave. We need to strive to be better!

    No, a radicalized registered republican wouldn't be watching Fox News. Get real for once in your life.

    He could have been radicalized on internet sites. Who knows, he could have been a Gators fan who stumbled onto Too Hot and was radicalized by our wayward lefties like you. Nobody knows, yet.

    Let's hope the shooter's details are released and not hidden from the public as was done with the Nashville shooter. Every American needs to know how the shooter became so radicalized that he was willing to give his life to assassinate the republican candidate for president.

    Even the most neutral TH libbie won’t acknowledge the power and influence of the LIBERAL media.
    It’s not debatable.

    So what media do registered Republicans tend to watch?

    My guess is a awkward alienated social misfit who spent his nights deep down internet rabbit holes who did not have much/any social life. Likely he also had significant emotional/mental issues.

    NOTHING points to it.

    What's the common denominator for all these crack-pot right-wing conspiracy theories?

    ZERO EVIDENCE

    Stolen election???
    - 62 Trump court cases found no evidence.
    - Trump's Arizona audit found no evidence.
    - Trump's campaign investigation found no evidence.

    Grow up!

    Get a life!

    Hey, I eat Pepperidge Farm cookies every day. Is there something about Pepperidge Farm that I've missed? Or is that someone's handle?

    It was a running gag on Family Guy when they’d mock the old commercials
