Reagan got shot and had the biggest win in US history.
This timeline sucks
He was possibly even shot by a right wing voter.
He’s promised suffering at a minimum to women and immigrants (so the majority of the population).
He’s raped women and I suspect he’ll fire the last few supreme justice judges who don’t agree with him. Don’t forget, his only running to avoid prison at this time. They’re the only ones who can override him and put him in prison
But even any sensible ring wing person doesn’t want a dictator in charge. It just riles up the crazies who still believes him
Getting shot doesn’t give anyone any real reason to vote for him. Only the marginal population.
I am still silently confident Biden will win, but i now his safety is seriously at risk, and I suspect this will now end in civil war during election
I guess Trump will have to decide how much golf he wants to play from now on. I can’t imagine secret service wants him standing in an open field anymore
Reagan was shot 3 years before the election.
And…?
The election cycle is only 4 years long? It was forgotten by then.
Reagan won so many states because Mondale was extremely unpopular. He was Carter’s VP, and Carter had been successfully painted as our weakest president by Republicans. Mondale also gave a speech where he said he would raise taxes.
TLDR: he’s fine, but the gunman was killed, along with a rally attendee and another person in critical condition.
People waving their YOU’RE FIRED placards felt a little unfortunate.
The bullet entered his skull from just above the ear and lodged inside. There is no damage, however the surgeon could not find Trump’s brain. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
