    I refuse to believe a person who otherwise wouldn’t vote for Trump will vote for Trump because he was shot at.

      I think someone who has been on the verge of converting to Trumpism would vote for him because he was shot at, but nobody that disliked him is gonna start liking him more

      I think it’s to rule the news cycle, like that conspiracy loony etc. Anything to make forget about the crazily bad debate he did.

      Not saying he invented this “heard gunshots” himself, but that is how it’s useful.

      I don’t think the campaigns are about converting people, but more about getting people to care about voting for their candidate. At this point there is just no way people still don’t prefer one candidate over the other
