right, because he wasn't really shot.

Smacked his head on the podium as he quickly ducked down to avoid the gunfire?

I'm going with razorblade between the fingers  - cut when he reached back for his ear. I mean, it's hard to out-crazy the right on these things, so this is where I am starting.

To be honest, I'm starting to circle back on my idea that this was all a sham "assassination" attempt to drum up additional support for their God-like leader. I had a post on Saturday that went something like this:

TRUMP STAFFER: "Um, sir, in order to pull this off and make it look as real as possible we're going to have to actually kill one or two rally attendees."

TRUMP: "And?"

Hey, it's no sillier than the alt-right's Q-inspired whack-a-doodle conspiracy theories. Hell, I'm seeing reasonably intelligent -- misguided or poisoned, of course -- people on social media claiming this was all on Biden's orders and the SS stood down to allow it to happen. (Forget the fact the shooter Biden and the "Deep State" chose was booted from his HS rifle team for being such a terrible shot.)

It's the exact theory Q would put forth had the attempt been on Biden.

The guy shoots like a storm trooper.

Trump was absolutely shot, no more nonsense about him not being shot or time off. Until there is some type of official information from a US Government agency he is shot, the president says he was shot the USSS says he was shot everyone says he was shot. no more of this nonsense.

They should use him for disinformation. 

They should put one crazy thing in the briefing and see where it spreads.

Security Briefing Page 6
“We have been tracking a large, lizard-like creature in the waters around Tokyo. Our current belief is this creature is the result of atomic weapons use during WW2.”

And Dems are up 5+ in every Senate race polled. I just don’t see it.

I'm pretty cynical about polls, but Biden doing poorly while down ballots doing better makes sense in the context of debate fallout.

Burger and Rubio have been told they aren’t the vp pick. Annoucement in 2 hours

As far as those polls, I’m not sure what Biden can do to make up ground or if that’s even possible. I can definitely see a scenario where people vote trunp for president but vote dem everywhere else.

Yeah, it's undecided / voters who will come home eventually.

How? Why would people who vote for Trump ever vote democrat down ballot?

No, that gap has been consistent for months.

First paragraph is absolutely correct. Anyone thinking the debate and assassination attempt haven’t sealed the election for Trump have their heads in the sand. This will increase MAGA and independent turnout, the latter of which will vote more for Trump as a result of the above, and decrease Dem turnout.  This is an unmitigated and irreversible disaster, particularly if they don’t replace him NOW. 

Second paragraph: 1) there are definitely people like that. 2) the majority of his ‘supporters’ don’t particularly like him and go along with their winner. They don’t want violence. 3) the doom predicted by you repeatedly (and many others) is silly. You sound like hypochondriac pansies. 

Sure thing Rex, independents are totally fired up to go vote for Trump now that a Republican 20 year old took a shot at him to try to start a race war.

I’m sure you can explain the difference in the senate splits then.

This. It would be unprecedented in the last few elections. Either the senate candidates drag Biden across or Trump drags the GOP candidates across.

Yet another poll that makes zero sense at all.

It's likely Dem voters who would prefer a candidate other than Biden (but can't decide which other candidate they'd prefer). 

Trump beat Hillary in 2016 by spending the last weeks of his campaign pretending that he'd actually be a pretty normal president. That assuaged enough fence sitters to give him a shot. He's going to have a much harder time doing that this time.

Given that it looks like Vance is the VP nominee, I don't see how this helps Trump in the election unless he feels that it's in the bag.

I've always been confused about Vance's worldview given where he came from. 

Posted

Trump outperformed the national polls in 2016 and 2020. 

Do y'all not remember how confident we were in 2016? And Biden led by 9% at one point in 2020. 

I really don't understand the head in the sand mentality.

I saw Vance speak at an education conference years ago, right after Hillbilly Elegy came out.  At the time I was interested to hear what he had to say, but I came away thinking he was pandering a bit, and his trajectory since then has borne that out.  He gamed out that he could gain power and prestige by going all-in on Trump and right wing talking points, and he was right.  But he seems like a shapeshifter who doesn't really have any true compass.  Not surprising he got picked.

Fuck if I know. 

Tammy Baldwin was on PSA not too long ago saying she gets people who come up to her all the time who say they are voting for her for senate because of how much she’s done for them in Wisconsin

But they also tell her they are voting trunp for president. It was a good segment.

He is also very close to being President.

Don Jr loves him and that all that matters. And now Don Jr has facial hair. But it’s funny bc Rupert Murdoch was anyone but Vance. 
 

Will Vance shave his hair? lol.

CNN saying that VP had to be chosen now bc of logistics of protecting other potential vp candidates.

Mainly the debate. I don’t think they’re fired up. 

I love this hard push to call the mental patient a Republican when he was 20 years old, so his affiliation is meaningless. But it’s clear yall are trying really hard to obfuscate he is the furthest thing from Trump a white male can get, and very well could’ve been progressive. 

This so-called "hard push" is an attempt to nip-in-the-bud any GQP attempts to paint Crooks as a liberal activist trying to eliminate Biden's opponent, which is all over alt-right social media at this point. Crooks sure-as-shit wasn't a Democrat. His classmates said he had very conservative viewpoints in their government/eco/civics classes in HS.

A quick primer on J.D. Vance, Trump’s VP nominee:

-once called Trump “America’s Hitler”

-supports nat’l abortion ban without exceptions for rape/incest

-doesn’t believe in gay marriage

-proponent of white supremacist Great Replacement Theory

-supports Russia’s war on Ukraine
