I got the impression that it was hypothetical.
So far, all we have is the latter.
I await the former.
NPR is reporting that someone has been arrested, but no details.
I haven't found out why he was arrested, but....
MIAMI, Oct 26 (Reuters) - Federal authorities arrested a person on Friday in connection with at least a dozen parcel bombs sent this week to Democratic politicians and high-profile critics of U.S. President Donald Trump, the U.S. Justice Department said.
The person was taken into custody in the Miami area, a U.S. law enforcement official said. The investigation into this week's wave of suspicious packages focused on southern Florida and a mail sorting facility in the area.
The U.S. Justice Department will hold a news conference at 2:30 p.m. EDT. (1830 GMT), a department spokeswoman said.
Citing an unnamed source, cable network MSNBC said the suspect was a man in his 50s. CNN said the arrest was made in Plantation, a city near Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. Reuters could not immediately confirm those reports.
No one claimed responsibility for parcel bombs, which were denounced by authorities as terrorism, and came less than two weeks ahead of U.S. congressional elections that could alter the balance of power in Washington.
Police found two of the suspicious packages on Friday addressed to U.S. Senator Cory Booker and James Clapper, the former U.S. director of national intelligence, officials said.
The 11th package was addressed to Booker, a Democratic senator from New Jersey, and was discovered at a mail sorting facility in Florida, the FBI said. A 12th package was addressed to Clapper at cable network CNN and was intercepted at a New York City post office, a federal law enforcement official said.

Yea this is a weird story.
Source?
A mental incompetence argument?
It reminds me of the war between Revoltistan & Wireyania.
They threw dynamite at us.
We lit the fuse & threw it back at them.
(@Wirey surrendered, & we punished him with a week's vacation in Revoltistan.)

Haven't you answered your own question? If it's harmful to the Republicans then it would be beneficial to the Democrats, so make it look like the Republicans did it. This is basic history.
Well, yes, someone in this whole thing is clearly mentally incompetent. That took no solving.

Fox news is reporting that the suspect is Cesar Sayoc.
I was joking....but I think you're right.
There's no need to rub it in that we elected Trump, ok?
I don't know how reliable this source is, but it's report is pretty detailed and contains alleged photos of the man in custody, along with pics of a white van said to belong to him and which is covered in pro-Trump stuff.

NBC is reporting the man is a registered Republican. Other sources agree his van was covered with pro-Trump stickers.
Cesar Sayoc, Jr., identified as suspect in pipe bomb attacks

NBC is reporting that at least some of the bombs were duds and could not have exploded due to design flaws, but that it's unknown whether their flaws were intentional or not.
Some mailed pipe bombs could have been duds, investigators say
