    Trump was on with Greta last hour, and is on with O'Reilly now.

    O'Reilly says we're now in a World War, and Trump agrees with him.

    And they're all Obama's fault?
    Because, you know, if we had a strong, tough, no-nonsense Christian Republican in the White House, nothing bad would happen.
    Oh, 9-11? What's that?

    Why? Is there a prominent Republican you would have voted for?

    You say lots of silly things.

    It's about voter perceptions.

    If terrorism is a major issue, and one candidate is seen as better on the issue than the other, it can move polls, and even be determinative.

    So far, it's unclear if this is the case. Trump seemed to get a small bump after Orlando, but polls didn't show it was related to the terror issue.

    But, as terror events add up, that could change.

    I do enjoy partisans on one side telling partisans on the other side which candidates they should nominate.

    The idea that tough talk solves problems is uniquely American and uniquely stupid along the lines of the belief having lots of guns around promotes safety. The President of the United States is not responsible and cannot be responsible for the internal security of France. What will President Trump say when there's an attack in France on his watch? Troops sent to Marseilles? No, he'll say and do just what Obama does, because that's all there is to say.

    The last two World Wars had the military draft. The logical follow-up question for Trump would have been that since we're now in a World War, is he going to seek a reinstitution of the military draft.

    Trump's done several interviews regarding the Nice attack. Silence out of Hillary.

    Her team must me furiously poll testing potential responses.

    Yeah, tough talk is just an American political trait.
