Trump's rewriting his RNC speech, probably to remove all the toxic vitriol and try to paint himself as a "unity" candidate, it's a smart play but we'll see how long it lasts, it's clear he's bored as shit whenever he tries to speak like this and his "charisma" largely comes from attacking other candidates nonstop, plus with all the other loons at the RNC.

(...)

Trump will say the things that he thinks the people want to hear, so the unity phase will be shortlived. Once it dawns on him that he is not credible in the least when talking about unity, he will cater to his usual base again because he can't afford losing them.

Still four months until the election, so this assassination attempt's effect on potential voters will have mostly vaporized come November. This remains a contest between two candidates that have had an entire tenure as POTUS, so it's doubtful that any single event can change much. The biggest deal that I can think of would be the democrats simplifying the playbook and picking one specific point of Project 2025 for the attack. What is it?

Well, when John Oliver interviewed Snowden, he showed the whistleblower a video where it was totally apparent that the American population had very little interest in the whole deal until Oliver's crew drew the attention to dick pics. So Project 2025's most vulnerable part is clearly the intention to ban and criminalize pornography.

I thought it would be funny seeing them having a golfing contest. But having them debate over Porn would be television for the ages.
