Positivisms:
For Dems
- Media is no longer talking about Biden's age
Maga
- 🤡 will rise in the polls & get lots of support from sideliners
- they'll use this event as a legitimate grievance & will have the 🤡 become a martyr & victim
When he announces JD Vance as his running mate on Thursday we will know for sure.
@Bliss I hope he gets super paranoid and starts thinking that his political rivals (and even his allies) could be behind it, then picks someone so bad they actually end up torpedoing the whole ticket/campaign...
IDK, like Marjorie Taylor Greene or something.
That'd be absolutely hilarious. Comedy gold.
They have everyone on lockdown except for speaker Johnson and JD vance.
@Bliss Eh, we'll see. TFG is terrible at maintaining alliances - and AFAIK even his inner circle hate his guts.
Then get him rattled (which he likely is - remember he complained about being terrified of having rotten tomatoes thrown at him)... oh yeah, he's gonna be about as stable as a whole barrel of mercury fulminate. Which is to say very, very unstable.
As I think about it... it's either JD or Don Jr. We'll know by Thursday or Friday.
Listen to all the things they’ll be using this event to burnish his image with, those are the issues he’s most vulnerable and that he’s weakest with voters about.
His campaign is going to gift Dems with the exact things they all need to say every day:
He is an authoritarian, hell bent on revenge and retribution. Project 2025 and corrupt SCOTUS will make him more out of control and this event shouldn’t shield him he’s even less trustworthy with power now.
@Bliss I still think the shooter being a Republican is gonna derail most of their attempts to milk it for political points, and quite likely stimulate an absolutely massive amount of infighting/finger-pointing.
