Who besides his cult is going to rally for this? The undecided are going to rally to the liar because he was shot? Then they weren't really undecided lol There are no undecideds in the sense that they were committed to voting but simply trying to decide between voting for Trump or voting for Biden. But there are people that were undecided on whether they would vote at all who now will be committed to showing up and casting their ballot. Not sure if there are numbers tracking voter registrations, but I'd bet it will see a huge bump in the aftermath of this.

I’m sure women who don’t want to register their uterus with the federal government will reconsider after seeing Trump’s bloody ear

The turnout boost is going to be from the demo he's already pulling from (white middle aged males with no college degree), this will just mean he'll pull even more from it. It's the same reason why Dobbs boosted turnout in 2022. This sort of thing gets people who are only vaguely aware of politics to stand up and pay attention. Though I will say that when we got home and heard about it, my wife had the TV on ABC for all of 15 minutes before turning on a lifetime movie.

The guy was nearly murdered a few seconds before, literally shot in the head — even if it just grazed him — and, his instinct was defiance. That’s going to go down as one of the all-time moments in politics and the picture of it is going to be shown for centuries. It was a F you I'm Millwall kinda thing
July 14, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, we_gotta_believe said: You're sick in the head, dude. Trump doesn't give a F about you, me, or anyone else in this country. He only cares about himself and himself only. That pretty much applies to every politician.

In the Pennsylvania governor’s race in 2022, Josh Shapiro, the Democratic nominee, ran an ad during the Republican primary highlighting the conservative credentials of Doug Mastriano, a right-wing candidate. Mastriano won the primary, then Shapiro beat him in a landslide. "
