    It seems reasonable that Trump would get a boost in polls from surviving being shot/ nicked on his ear. My hope is that this is a transient effect, and that Trump will say and/or do many stupid things between now and November that will trash his chances at being elected dictator.

      Honestly?

      Biden had a huge bump. Last I had heard was 34%, but when looking for these polls I saw he was at 41%?

      7% is already huge a net gain, but percentage wise it’s like a 20% gain.

          Yougov’s website.

          The polls in OPs post are from yougov but I didn’t see anything about battlegrounds, saw a rare good thing for Biden, and felt the need to mention.

          trump almost getting merc’d might have helped trump, but it seems to have helped Biden even more.

          Which sounds like it’s just reinforcing people’s beliefs, and since we are talking about political violence that’s not always a good thing

          Honestly?

          I’m not quite sure what you are asking

          Rhetorical device, I could have said “Bruh…”. “Actually”. “Meh”. Or a bunch of other shit

          I was just surprised to see it, and honestly seemed to fit best with surprise

      Survived an assassination? That’s cool I guess.

      He’s still a child rapist.

      He’s still a felon.

      He’s still a traitor to the US.

      He still won’t take responsibility for things he is responsible for and claims responsibility for things he has nothing to do with.

      I still wouldn’t trust him to do any job whatsoever unless that job was to sound like a complete fucking idiot anytime he opened his mouth because he is really fucking good at that.
