He said a lot of them were likely, I can't see anything wrong with that in the context of Trump going there. He did not say most of them. Just because people like country and western music doesn't mean they are Republicans. In fact, most people I know around here who are country and western fans are probably democrats. Conservative and liberal is not really an issue, Trump is more liberal than conservative by nature, but he does respect conservative opinions unless they buck heads with him.

It was kind of a dumb thing to say, but seriously. Most people that like country music are conservative/Republican and I would say DID vote for Trump. Yes no?
What? Most people like alot of different genres of music.
A 2004 Gallup survey found nearly 60 percent of country fans identify more strongly with Republicans, compared with 11 percent who identify as liberal and around 30 percent who say they’re political moderates. While many rock and classical music fans say they’re conservatives but not nearly as big a portion as in country
.I think it's relative to this discussion because I keep thinking this shooter thought he was doing something Against trump or trump supporters.

We already have people all over saying that this is the "karmic response" to Puerto Rico, People like this cbs exec who doesn't care, as long as it was republicans that were gunned down... dailycaller.com... etc....
It's really pretty sick. So much for the political side of love and tolerance, huh?

There it is... I was waiting for the media turned this to a political mess. I dont have the link so you'll have to google it. But a lawyer for cbs said she feels no remorse for those at the concert because most country fans are gun touting people.

It was also being reported, on NBC I think, that the shooter was a degenerate gambler, who may have lost a lot of $$ and then snapped. Speculation abounds.
No. Not what has been said at all.
The speculation is on you. Is it possible that he decided to do this thing and blow all his money knowing he was going out?
wow....the right on this thread are trying to connect a lot of far flung dots....talk about snowflakes, any word or phrase that even hints at any type of gun control, and the right-wing snowflakes s**t their pants....more jumpy than a cat in a dog kennel

your reference has already been 404'd...maybe the "daily caller" found out it was a fake "troll" poster and removed it
“If they wouldn’t do anything when children were murdered I have no hope that Repugs [sic] will ever do the right thing,” Geftman-Gold wrote in a now-deleted message that was first reported and captured by The Daily Caller.
“This individual, who was with us for approximately one year, violated the standards of our company and is no longer an employee of CBS. Her views as expressed on social media are deeply unacceptable to all of us at CBS. Our hearts go out to the victims in Las Vegas and their families,” a CBS spokeswoman told Fox News.

i love how there are people in this thread doing their darndest to find a way to make the Trump reference relevant even in the slightest way.
no, its completely irrelevant and its TOTALLY par for the course with CNNs overwhelmingly politicized, Trump hating "news" reporting in general.

How does this make Trump look bad? If anything it gives Trump supporters 'victim-hood'. The radical 'Left' picking on Trump and his supporters. The guy's an asshat. But things like this bring out the very worst people.

Everybody likes music. Let's keep this real and apolitical.
This is tragic enough without that stuff.
Isn't it?
