I'm not saying that Trump's people planted the NY dumpster bomb.

Even if many other people think it's true, I wouldn't stoop to his level by saying something so inflammatory. Even if the FBI and the Secret Service were to find out that it is true, I still wouldn't say it. You know what I mean? I'm better than that. My moral high ground is so much higher than those countless people who would say such a thing.

Many, many people seem to be entertaining the theory that some Trump supporter planted the Chelsea bomb. Obviously we have to wait for the FBI to prove it before making such a claim.

Kudos on your mature reaction to slews of folks believing this to be a fact.

Many people are saying this, and believe me, I heard it from a very reliable source. So trust me, there's something there if that source says there is.

I like to think I'm fairly level headed but the second this started I wondered if it was a Trumper.

Many people are saying it. I don't know if it's true. That would be very, very terrible. We'll have to look into it. Terrible thing. Tremendously bad if it's true. We'll see. Many, many people are saying that.

??????????

I'm not sure if it was someone from the Trump camp but someone said that Trump would be helped along by things happening outside the campaign. That could only mean violent events such as this.

I don't think using one's reasoning is stooping to Trump's level. It's at least a 50% possibility. I'd give it a higher percentage.

And you just can't be too sure. Who knows. Stranger things have happened. There ought to be an investigation until we know. Bigly.

was NOT international terrorism, that is when I thought Trump supporter. His campaign is based on fear and lies. Ramp up the fear and the lies. Gov. Cuomo also said it didn't strike his advisors that it was international terrorists. But, the commentator on MSNBC kept trying to push it around to that thought.

I'm hearing these things. They're probably not true. I guess they could be, but I couldn't imagine that they would be even though that's what a lot of people are saying, really credible, smart people that I've talked to have said that. I don't really believe it, but I guess it's possible, they certainly are capable of doing something like that bc they're so dispicable and Trumps people are so dispicable, but no it probably isn't true, it probably isn't true even though it's being said a lot by lots of other people, I won't get into who is saying it, but trust me it's some very smart people saying it.

its someone who wanted to break the news cycle when its not a good news cycle for Trump. Don't think we can look past the timing of these attacks.

The Kochs and Cheneys of this world love conspiracy theories because it diverts otherwise intelligent people away from the K & C's real-life activities.

In this election, conspiracy theory rabbit holes take attention away from the provable dumpster fire that is Trump and Con-Way.

It definitely crossed my mind last night when he was so quick to talk about it. How did he know the cause of the explosion before the NYPD did?

They are pointing out that Hillary also called the attacks bombings, but wasn't that hours later, around the time the NYPD had issued its statement?
