    im still not voting Trump, but the way he handled the situation makes him look infinitely stronger, more resilient, and more in control than Biden could ever hope to be. That will be enough to sway many, many voters. And now the left has lost any illusion that only Trump is dictatorial. Nothing screams dictator more than political assassination, especially when the guy who stands to benefit from the assassination is so weak politically.

    The speech writers need to write it up with extensive prepping and lots of practice first.

    I agree but it was one of your fellow trumpers who injected it into the conversation

    Biden says nation must be united in condemning violence at Trump rally

    President Joe Biden issued a formal statement on the incident at the former president's rally in Pennsylvania today.

    "There’s no place for this kind of violence in America," Biden said. "We must unite as one nation to condemn it."

    Biden said he's been briefed on what took place, but he did not add to the narrative, except to say, "I’m grateful to hear that he’s safe and doing well."

    He added, "I’m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information."

    Biden said he and the first lady are grateful that the U.S. Secret Service was able to get Trump to safety.

    Trump’s campaign is in a “complete communications lockdown,” according to a message sent to staff by James Blair, the political director for the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee.

    “Everything is OK,” Blair wrote. “We have no details to share at this time but will follow up soon with more information.”

    “Anyone who speaks with the press, even on background or off the record, will be found and terminated immediately,” Blair wrote, according to two people who received the message and shared it with NBC News. “Refrain from commenting, speculating, posting on social media, etc. Complete and total lockdown.”

    Blair went on to say to all staff, “your personal safety is of the utmost importance. Please exercise extreme caution during this time.”

    “Pray, remain vigilant, and be strong,” he concluded. “We WILL Make America Great Again.”

    He was not hit by a ricochet. He was hit with a bullet that fragmented into his body, upper left shoulder, which is why he had emergency surgery to begin with. But the point is to stop the assassination, the Secret Service has to prevent the shooting in and of itself. It didn't in Reagan's case.

    Oh! Come on - if Biden had ordered the assassination (which he apparently can now legally do) they would not have missed.

    Holy crap. I do wonder who the shooter was and what their motive was.

    Well of course the guns are (already) banned at the rallies. Clearly they missed this one.

    I've seen more than enough biden to solidify my opinion. I'm also unconvinced that Kamala is capable or intelligent.

    You're wrong...

    "Reagan was seriously wounded by a revolver bullet that ricocheted off the side of the presidential limousine and hit him in the left underarm, breaking a rib, puncturing a lung, and causing serious internal bleeding. "

    and I noted that they don't always stop amateurs who don't care about being caught. Did you fail to read that

    BTW you are wrong
    Reagan was seriously wounded by a revolver bullet that ricocheted off the side of the presidential limousine and hit him in the left underarm, breaking a rib, puncturing a lung, and causing serious internal bleeding.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_assassination_of_Ronald_Reagan

    oh in case you dispute WIKI

    Two shots ricocheted off the presidential limousine. It was one of those two shots that hit the president under his left arm, grazing a rib and narrowly missing his heart. The sixth shot traveled across the street and penetrated a window.

    part of my duties as a firearms instructor among other things at DOJ was studying this shooting

    If this happened to Biden, Republicans would be laughing at a Trump rally like they did when he mocked Pelosi's husband being bludgeoned by a hammer. You won't see Biden mocking Trump.

    Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.

    The bullet hit the limousine, and ricocheted into his body.

    Less hate speech by the left would do more good.
