WHAT

  • Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump was shot at a rally in PA.

TRUMPS STATEMENT

“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!”

WHAT WE THINK WE KNOW SO FAR

  • gunman is dead
  • Trump "is fine"
  • one attendee is dead
  • another attendee is in critical condition

There is something seriously wrong with American politics. Trump is evil - not a word I throw around lightly - but this shooting has all but guaranteed a win for him in November.

He's clinched it. He's going to be King.

Nobody is changing their vote over this... Like, the Democrats have been entrenched in "Not Trump" since the word GO, blue out numbers red and they know what's at stake.

[–] slickgoat 1 points 4 months ago (5 children)

The election is won or lost in the middle, not red or blue. It is the undecided and the ones considering voting who really matters.

We tend to be the engaged voters who know what we are going to do with certainty. But, you can judge the polls by looking in the mirror.

There's no wide middle, who is actually still undecisive in this election? Actual people, IRL I want to meet them. Not some twitter jockeys or media talking heads, not some podcast. Actual voters.

[–] slickgoat 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So you believe that everyone is already decided?

[–] ProtecyaTec 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Probably not every single solitary person, but the majority. I think politics have been too divisive to the point where the middle is too slim to make a difference. These aren't new political candidates. Nothing has changed.

[–] slickgoat 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So, who's going to win? And by roughly what degree?

[–] ProtecyaTec 1 points 4 months ago

The Dems are going to win. It's painfully clear that Trump (and his cabinet members) are unfit to lead and do not have the best interest of our nation's people. We'll have to wait til November to what degree that is.
