Will the Belgium attacks help any of the US Presidential candidates?

Asked by JLeslie (65444points) March 22nd, 2016 from iPhone

I’m listening to to journalist Katy Kay on MSNBC talk about how Europe needs to be more like America in assimilating their Muslim immigrants. She went on basically implying we need to be wary of Muslim immigrants. A joke was made that she would never be elected President in America.

Another reporter was saying as immigrants and refugees come into Belgium they are given a nice government stipend and the government has a hard time keeping track of the new immigrants/refugees. Other reporters saying there have been recent targeted bombings against ISIS in Syria.

I’m thinking, this might really help Trump. Was he right? Don’t let Arab Muslims in for now until we can vet them better, or have a better system for keeping track of them?

Personally, I initially thought to myself while watching the news that this is why we need a President who really understand international politics right now. I would think that’s Hillary, but I can’t help but think Trump also has some intuition. I don’t view him as the competent person to address the complexity of the situation, but I think a lot of people will.

Do you think the Belgium attacks will help Trump? Help another candidate? Which candidate? I’m interested in which candidate you think is best to handle terrorism and which candidate you think will get a boost even if you disagree with it.
