You're gonna have to dumb it way down for me Tiki.
I have no idea what point you're trying to make with your "Top 28 mass murders by president's political affiliation" statistics.
Are you contending that the political affiliation of the president in office is a direct contributor to the number of shooters who pull the trigger and murder 4 or more people in a single incident?
Do you think that Republican presidents cause fewer shooters to commit mass murder, but somehow inspire higher-achieving mass murderers on average (14 victims per Republican-inspired killer vs. 11 victims per Democrat-inspired killer in your Top 28)?
Whatever your point, I'm not seeing a direct correlation, myself. There are too many variables to be considered for me to draw any such conclusion from the data set. So, if a Republican is elected president next and more mass murder incidents with fewer victims per incident occur during his/her presidency, I won't imagine that his/her political affiliation alone directly caused the reversal of any supposed current correlations.
