Mmmmm, so it looks like Trump is not the only one who dodges a bullet lol. Dems can count themselves lucky it hardly moves the needle. Still, I guess Trump is too controversial for that event to change anything as I suppose it paints Trump as a victim, martyr, or strong man only to those already intending to vote for him. Like, if Trump is defined as the person who suggested injecting bleach to cure COVID-19 for you, then an assassination attempt on his person won't make you look at him any more favorably. And I guess Trump has accumulated too many such badly defining moments. But still, I would worry about a stronger-than-anticipated turnover of his electorate because of it. |
I doubt it. I am really of the mindset that not only does this incident doesn't change anyone opinion of Trump and Biden, it will have absolutely no direct result in turnout for either one. As I have stated before, people have already made up their mind about the two candidates because there is nothing new. We know what a Biden administration looks like and we know what a Trump administration looks like. Just think about all the GOP who raced against Trump and even had some telling statements concerning him are still voting for him not because of his leadership ability or anything along those lines. It's because he represents the GOP interest and that is all they care about. The same on the Dems side as well so as with just about every president, it all boils down to independents and I doubt some random dude taking a shot at Trump is going to make them believe he is their candidate if they haven't already made up their mind.
