Trump can say he literally bled for his supporters and anyone even remotely sympathetic to him is going to be motivated to turn out, can't ask for better red meat for his base. Not to mention already wanting to give them everything they want.

There is not a single human being on this earth excited to vote for Biden.

Try not to think about / go down this path very hard. Donnie yelled for a flood of support for his NY trial and nobody showed up. A lot of the chuddier wingnut types are convinced that any and all public events are glowing with undercover feds.

Incidentally, a lot of Democrats are really, really pissed off that every time Biden talks, he talks about past events like job numbers and COVID. He's more shaky about future stuff, which is absolutely accurate.

i disagree w/ this because the crime thing was whatever. he's not in any danger there, absolutely nobody thought he was going to jail over it.

this was him getting shot at. he's not asking for help, he's literally the target of attempted homicide. and the initial story, the one a lot of people are gonna read and not see the updates of, was that he personally took one to the ear, not that it was debris from a missed shot.

Yeah. Every dumb loving thing he said about being the most unfairly treated and persecuted president ever, this just feeds into. All the criticism about being as old and incoherent as Biden, he's giving a power fist after taking a bullet*. It's very different.

Basically this is my point - they could very easily overblow this into the point of uncredibility like Elon just did there.

A lot is going to depend on the shooter's ID and motive to short-circuit the whole martyrdom thing, poo poo we don't know right now. And already helps that Biden made a statement about it. Just chill for a while before going down the doomer path about people will/won't think.

Edit: and I've always thought this election was going to be decided in the last month / two weeks, still the case now.

I mean, Donnie used this approach back in 2016 when Hillary was talking about "landing under sniper fire". Not a one-to-one, but getting winged by glass isn't Teddy being Teddy or Reagan joking with his nurses. And I'd bet the Republicans hit the ol' rhetoric accelerator which turns off a ton of voters.

Incidentally, dovetails right into Biden's latest plug of "control guns, not girls".

Take this with a grain of salt, but f/5.6, ISO 100, 1/800 s would be a reasonable exposure.

Streak is about a foot long, so that would be eight hundred feet per second.

It’s not an implausible result.
