“I feel a lot more confident and a lot more optimistic than I did two, three days ago,” Dr. Sava said at a press conference. “When he arrived he was in critical condition with an imminent risk of death.”

....But Mr. Scalise is expected to recover. “I think we fully expect him to be able to walk, and hopefully run,” said the trauma surgeon.

I read that Trump had his personal physician go by to check on Scalise. Not sure if it’s been verified. Anyone know?

The poor guy could still end up with a colostomy or with kidney or liver damage from shock, not to mention a couple of steel hips.

And the libs won’t even feel bad.

In other news, the foul left-wing terrorist assassin, with whose name I will not besmirch your eyes, is still dead.

I haven’t heard that...I do know that V.P. Pence and Second Lady Karen were there...

From the letter form Mrs. Scalise she said that a lot of people have been there for everyone that was hurt that day...

Were it not for Scalise’s security detail a substantial chunk of the GOP caucus would have been wiped-out. This was serious.

More prayers for him. May God watch over him and return him to his loving family in good health.

Not only that, but if that Antifa guy actually knew how to use his weapon, a la Lee Harvey Oswald, even the security detail would not have been able to stop mass assassination. God be with Rep Scalise, his doctors and family.

It would be better if he were alive and saying how he targeted Republicans because the Demondog press told him too.

Great news. I bet they try again.

This guy can cause a lot of problems for the Democrats, just by showing up to work every day.

He’s still pretty hurt.

Transverse shot through the pelvis.

Bullet fragmented.

There are a lot of gooey bits in the cradle of the pelvis, bowels, bladder, major arteries and veins, various muscles, etc.

The doctor did say an excellent recovery is very possible.

Dont think the colostomy or kidney/liver damage would be considered part of an excellent recovery.

The hip! Can’t imagine he’s not but what do i know?

plus having a few hundred shell fragments in you doesn’t sound so great.

I would figure that would lead to constant infections

But again, I dont know what i’m talking about :)

Agreed, but I don't fault the security for taking him all the way out!
