I rather it never happened. But him surviving is the worst outcome.
Yeah... Surviving that basically won him the election.
Not if everyone making this assumption gets out and votes, rather than staying at home and assuming they've already lost. The left outnumber the right after all. Losing is a turnout issue.
Kinda crazy to think Biden can still pull this off. Furthermore, it happened in PA, a crucial state.
You could run a cabbage, but if everyone votes for them they've pulled it off. Voting is the difference between winning and losing.
Without Trump, who do the republicans have? De Santis? Nah. Martyr means nothing if there's no realistic second choice.
(Otherwise, the CIA wouldn't have bothered assassinating political candidates in south America)
Not to mention numerous Black Panthers, civil rights leaders, many others killed. The state knows that assassination can work.
They are treating him like a martyr right now.
