Yeah. Trump's plateau is around 70 million it seems. Probably less after boomers passed away after last election. Idk how this is going to make anyone vote for him who wasnt already planning on doing so.I hope you're right but I think you're wrong

You're underestimating just how many:
1. Stupid/ignorant people are out there
2. Easily swayed people are out there.
There's millions of people who wouldn't have voted who now will
And 4 months of "Biden is old, look at badass Trump surviving a gunshot and standing next to a flag" instead of 4 months of pointing out his crimes, the supreme court and project 2025.
Trump was panicking over issues like Abortion for the past few weeks because of how much of a difference it might make in swing states
I think this pretty much garantees a Trump win. He can coast on this for 100 days. IT's something he can brag about and a talk about and not lose any support or be criticized for.
Why did George Bush suddenly go from a crap president to the greatest president of all time for a few months after 9-11? Only to revert back to crap?
Big incidents and emotional rallies are more powerful than pol
I hope you're right but I think you're wrongThis can easily be spun the correct way if Biden responds competently. Dems have been trying to curb gun violence for years and getting blocked by idiots like Trump. Now a man used to privilege and luxury gets a taste of the reality so many Americans deal with and fear every day, rampant gun violence. Watch as Trump does nothing to address it.

Anyone who would be likely to be swayed to vote for Trump out of symapthy for an attempted assassination was already going to vote for him anyway and everyone else is standing around looking like Gene Wilder from Willy Wonka doing the "No, Stop, Don't" bit. For Trump to gain any backing from this he'd have to have people who were already neutral about him or waffling about what to do. He's arguably the most divisive person to ever exist in American politics.You don't really believe this.
Comparing him to Reagan he is stupid. Reagan had HUGE approval and was the incumbent. Trump couldn't even win the popular vote when he actually got elected and his approval has gone *downhill* ever since
Why would moderates/undetermined vote for him after this? Because he got shot?
Anyone saying this is fake need to be modded 100%.
He definitely won, yeah. It was likely with the Biden stuff, but this just sealed it. Especially considering that the shooter is AntifaThe Left have been distancing themselves from Antifa.

The Left have been distancing themselves from Antifa.Only the practical left have done so, not those who identify as part of the far left.
He definitely won, yeah. It was likely with the Biden stuff, but this just sealed it. Especially considering that the shooter is AntifaDo we have any proof the shooter was Antifa or is it all terminally online folk jumping to conclusions like when Trumpers swore up and down Jan 6 was Antifa?
The shooter is dead. Not sure why people are saying this was staged. Unless the shooter made some deal and was promised to be revived with the Dragon balls or something later on.
I think there's too much certainty ITT. It's an unprecedented event and we have a long way between this and election day.Not unprecedented. Happened last time with Reagan. Happened before with the two Kennedys too, but those very unfortunately succeeded.

If and if this is staged, there is a chance they betrayed the shooter they made a deal with to make it look legitimate.That still seems a bit too farfetched especially since one person among the crowd had been killed.

Not unprecedented. Happened last time with Reagan. Happened before with the two Kennedys too, but those very unfortunately succeeded.Reagan and JFK were shot while they were already president. RFK was shot while campaigning, but he was killed, so he obviously wasn't going to get a boost in the polls

I would normally say so too, but with biden already historically weak in his polling and the dems not even unified in supporting his candidacy, unless something equally historic happens in the next few months to shift things again, Biden is cookedThen again, this could be the wake up call the Dems need to coalesce around Biden. (Extremely unlikely but still)
Not unprecedented. Happened last time with Reagan. Happened before with the two Kennedys too, but those very unfortunately succeeded.Reagan was shot 3 and a half years before the election
Assassination attempts only help gain supporters if you're not already running on spinning the country into a chaotic hell hole once you take office. A Ronald Reagan Trump is not.This is true. The man didn't even "win" the election he won. He's been political poison for almost a decade now.
NGL, as someone who's not a Trump fan, that's a pretty badass moment for him.
Maybe closer to Teddy in 1912, I think? He was stabbed and still gave a speech. Former President, too.And his speech (or one his speeches) that was in his breast pocket was what gave enough cushion for him to go back out and give the speech.
I'll agree that this will only help him. It'll embolden his supporters.As yes because Trump is known for his supporters not being the bold type
Maybe closer to Teddy in 1912, I think? He was stabbed and still gave a speech. Former President, too.Roosevelt did end up losing that election, but he was also running as a third party candidate, so he didn't have much of a chance to begin with

I wonder though, How did he even get the gun in? Don't people pass through metal detectors or get searched or something before they get a couple meters away from the f***ING presidential candidate??!!
