Doubtless both sides will focus on his more or less recent party affiliations. I wonder what he'll have to say on the matter, considering we got a live one for a change.

I think this one will pass quicker than the last, I'm already over it and I panicked about the last attempt

  1. It has happened during the NFL so a lot of people are too distracted to give a shit.
  2. There was no livestream this time around, no powerful image to go with it.
  3. The shooter didn't even get close to Trump, didn't even fire a single shot.
  4. Shooter seems like he needs genuine mental help and is a former disgruntled Trump voter.
  5. Nobody was hurt.
  6. It happened in Florida - Okay, I'm trolling a little with this one, Lol.
  7. Some already thought the last attempt was a hoax (I do not agree with that at all).
  8. People are probably getting sick of the chaos that follows Trump now.
  9. Trump will start ranting about cats and dogs again soon, sympathy is lesser when Trump and his ilk are causing bomb threats in Ohio.
  10. Another American-born white dude so no anti-immigrant or racist angle to go with it.

Trump will try to milk it but I think everyone is going to move on in a few days, the last attempt which happened live, actually clipped him and resulted in a powerful image didn't move polling at all and largely, nobody gave a shit, Lol. I'm already "meh" about this attempt. The shooter needs serious mental health assistance.

The sequel is never as compelling as the original. Don't think this changes anything much. And honestly, I don't think they want to shine too much of a spotlight on conspiracy theorists gun nuts being domestic terror threats.
