Are you crazy? This will have a massive impact on turnout. He survived an assassination attempt. An innocent bystander has died. Forget about Biden, Harris, nothing else matters, Trump just won the election.

It's a few months out, so emotions will go back to normal and back to the issues. However, it could impact someone wanting to jump into the race to face him in the next few weeks. I feel so bad for that guy's family. Imagine watching your husband/father die right in front of you. That's a trauma I can't imagine they will ever get past, and those images will haunt them the rest of their lives.

Although @OMGno2trump is reporting it was only glass.... 

its pretty funny that their best move right now to try to swing polls back in Biden's favor is to try to make Trump's survival sound a little less tough. From getting shot in the ear, nearly a fatal head wound, to being nicked by a little piece of glass....

Thing is, he still survived and gave an iconic fist pump to the crowd on the way out. Badass through and through. They cant weaken this. 

I'm really disturbed that multiple people here wanted to see him get assassinated. It's one thing to hate him, but another entirely to want to see him get shot in the head in front of the entire country.

I do not like him but that was pretty badass. 

Those agents around him are the real heroes. What brave people they are. 

What? He just got shot, someone died maybe ten feet behind him, instead of assessing the situation and making sure no one else was hurt he gets up and pumps his fist as the agents are trying to get him to safety, and you think that's badass?

Yeah, you're 100% wrong on this. Barring an incredibly stupid mistake on his own part, Trump is going to be our president again. There are too many stupid people in this country that will easily forget about all the insanity of the past 8 years the moment that bullet grazed his ear.

Either way, a bullet hit pretty freaking close to him, and it's not like, at that moment, he knew it was glass and not a bullet.

I doubt he knew someone got hit behind him. He was going on instincts, and as a leader, he was trying to show strength. I mean the best move was to get out and let them take him off the stage so they weren't being put into danger trying to protect him. I don't like him, but I'm not sure if I was just shot at, I'd be projecting strength like that, even if it may not have been the right move.

yes. it was. 

they said shooter is down, and double checked it was clear to move before they got him up. He wasnt going to get anyone else hurt by delivering that iconic moment at his rally. With that, rally is what he did- bigly.

This is him (They/Them?)

It was a bullet, and the point is, it was bigly badass either way. So this is just such a pathetic strategy by the Biden supporters to try to say ah... it was just a little piece of glass. Theyre trying, but failing to cheapen the magnitude of what occured.

I’m somewhat horrified some had this reaction. My own family included. Say what you want about politics but advocating a death of a US President has me lost.

Dude. A rapist got shot…in the ear.    Imagine if any other rapist had gotten shot. You wouldn’t give a sheet. 

This really can't be said enough. Look at the comment section of any regular old Joe who committed sex crimes, or even drug crimes, of varying natures and dying, especially when the death was wrongful or accidental. There is never a shortage of right-wingers expressing glee or dismissing accusations of misconduct by saying that their misdeeds made them deserving of death and undeserving of compassion. They deserve murder and summary execution to these people. Now, here we have a guy who was regular at Epstein Island and a long history of sexual misconduct, along with being a true enemy of the state, and those same losers are riding in on a moral high horse about how we should all be expressing compassion and sympathy for this troglodyte fascist and outrage that someone wanted to take him out after he's been actively tried to take down the Republic and install himself as dictator.

To get up and fist pump and reassure the crowd is one of the most badarse things ever.

This photo is iconic and you'll see it 50 years from now

Projecting strength? Are you F'ing with me right now? You project strength after you get to safety and you've confirmed nobody else was harmed. It's a chaotic situation, you get the F out of there immediately because you have no idea if there are multiple shooters or if any agents were hurt, all he knew was that he wasn't seriously hurt and that apparently is all he cared about in that moment. It's emblematic of everything that's wrong with him, he doesn't consider that someone else might've been harmed, he immediately thinks about how this all makes him look. 

Badass? Unbelievable, dude.

Fing cowards. 

The money shot.

I'm sure there are many true patriots within the Secret Service and law enforcement that wouldn't shy away from the opportunity to help remove this piece of scum from the earth.

You think someone who’s job is to protect a former president and/or uphold and enforce the law that would also be a co-conspirator to MURDER is a "true patriot”

wtf???????  I didn’t realize how far gone some of you are….

Try to remember, this is the same guy who said during a Presidential Debate that the Secret Service should stand down and not protect Hillary Clinton.

If Trump were as badarse as you claim, he would step down as the Republican candidate tonight — because peace in our world is more important than his own ambitions.

I can just see it.  What a guy.

Yeah totally, that's why the agents looked so calm about it, they even gingerly walked him off stage and weren't concerned at all about the situation. I'm surprised they didn't even let him finish his speech since everything was so under control. Good call.

People can say things like that easily when they can hide their identity on the internet.
