Trump seems to have just netted himself the presidency by a stroke of luck that I suspect I brought up somewhere in this thread a long time ago.
Did he, though? The parents have apparently already made statements that this was more due to the guy being a massive homophobe than anything. Trump may be anti-muslim, but the party he's running with (and a fair chunk of the people intent on voting for him) is also substantially anti-LGBT, whereas the dems are substantially... well, not. I wouldn't be calling things in his favor, at this point, since this could be about as much a rallying point in that sense for clinton's electorate as trump's.
Above and beyond the stuff involved there, most of the folks that were against muslims enough for something like this to change their intended vote were already going to vote for 'im. And there's a good five months for it to become just another mass shooting, t'boot. Color me skeptical this is some kind of silver bullet for trump's campaign.
... definitely a tragedy, though. Won't lie, it's a little hard for me to feel much for it* when m'aware of florida's murder rate (it's indeed something notable when someone pulls off what's probably going to be in the ballpark of a 20th of the people killed this year, but...), but it's still damned unfortunate.
And nah PG, that looks roughly accurate from what I've seen so far. Considering this was, what, eight, nine hours ago? It's probably not as clear as it'll be in a day or two, but yeah.
*E: Well... bit of worry. I do actually have a few old friends that are gay or bi that are off in that general direction, last I checked. Might be time to send a couple messages, I'unno.
