July 14, 20241 yr Opinion: The attempted assassination of Trump is not nearly as surprising as it should be (msn.com)
July 14, 20241 yr 2 minutes ago, Gannan said: So in other words…. No. He can’t help himself. He will be saying Biden met with this kid and ordered it personally by the end of the weekend. It will be the theme of the convention Trump is dumb but I don't know if he's that dumb. I think he'll blame it on democrats in general but blaming it on Biden would be an unforced error because it would risk boosting turnout for him too.

Today many may be leaning towards him, but in a few months when they go to the booth will they be thinking about today or the direction they want the country to go? They will forget about today and it will be what they think is best for their family. He'll get a bump in the polls but I think it will settle down. a lot of people probably made up their minds today. They wont forget the single reason for doing so.

Being grazed by a bullet with blood streaming from your ear is what makes it real to people. The assassination attempt itself is what will drive turnout. The fist pump makes for a good picture to the people that were already voting for him but we're less than 4 months from the election, not 4 years. Nobody needs the fist pump picture to remember a presidential candidate almost died on camera.

Biden's best chance is to present himself as the voice of reason in all this. Let Trump run with the line and go on his rants. Let Trump ratchet up the rhetoric and then counter it by trying to turn down the temperature in the room with calm and respectful comments. If he can frame the choice as a vote for escalation vs de-escalation he might have a slim chance, but it's going to be incredibly difficult.

I'm also not here to debate if he should have done it vs getting off stage. It does project strength, though. It is badass. He was shot at, bleeding, and didn't give a crap and pumped his fist, saying fight. Like him or not, that's an iconic moment, and he has stones.

The fist pump makes for a good picture to the people that were already voting for him but we're less than 4 months from the election, not 4 years. Nobody needs the fist bump picture to remember a presidential candidate almost died on camera. He runs on a platform of strength. He wants to prove he is more physically fit than Biden. And he also wants to prove a no backing down attitude towards the swamp in washington. A hardline stance on border issues, foreign policy, trade, etc. Everything runs on the underlying theme of strength. Being shot at is one thing. Its a huge deal and its going to sway some votes. Getting up and fist pumping couldnt have portrayed his message any more loudly and clearly. Certainly moreso than just running off the stage sheltered by secret service agents. No one would thing down on that. But getting up and continuing to rally the crowd, that show of strength right there in all the re-assurance anyone can ever ask for to know that this man is never backing down. He will stay in this fight for America. It unquestionably added immeasurable impact to the situation, in that brief moment. I just hope Puerto Rico is kind enough to send him a roll of paper towels so he can wipe off his blood.
