    Unfortunately I think he pretty much had the election the moment the democrats showed weakness by publically doubting their own candidate. But yes, this seals the deal for a trump win this year. What a damn fool. This is something that if you are going to do, you need to make absolutely sure you finish the job apripriately. You fuck this up and you end up giving him a gift.

      i agree, but also assassinating the president cannot be an easy task, and considering how far away they were, literally grazing his head is a very very good attempt. trump got absurdly lucky here

        You are missing that there is nothing good about this. His protections will double, his base will rally, he will justify further insane actions as he takes over the US. This is like swatting at a hornet and missing and saying it was a pretty great swat though as it stings you repeatedly in the face. Trump gets absurdly lucky with everything. He is meritless but propped up my multitudes of special interests and hordes of uneducated fools.

          Well, yeah this really really isn’t good. This outcome is the worst of anything that couldve happened, but it also was absurdly, stupidly, close, if the wind had gusted differently, or if trump moved his head differently while speaking, we would be having a very different conversation.

          If you make a great, almost certainly deadly, swat at a hornet, but it miraculously escapes and stings you in the face, acknowledging that it was a good try at least is fair.
