‘It’s All Over’: Stephen A. Smith Says Shooter ‘Handed Donald Trump The Election’
Daily Caller ^ | 16 July 2024 | JASON COHEN

Posted on 07/16/2024 7:19:48 AM PDT by Sam77

ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith said on Monday that the man who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump guaranteed his victory in the upcoming election.

Trump survived the attempt on his life by now-deceased 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks at his Saturday rally in Pennsylvania, with the former president pumping his fist as he departed with blood on his face after a bullet grazed his head. Smith on “The Stephen A. Smith Show” said his opinion is that this incident ensured Trump would win and that his legal cases would be terminated.

The only thing more satisfying than seeing the left hoisted on their own petard will be seeing them weep, wail and nash their teeth when they are out of power

Prison. We need to see *MASSIVE* incarcerations of every corrupt government official that undermined the nation and our government for the last 8 years.

We need to put thousands of these corrupt nasty bastards in prison.

I agree with you. The sports reporters shoot their own industry in the foot when they don't let sports be a refuge from politics (and other problems in life).

As far as getting back into pro sports, I was never into pro sports anyway. Where I live we love college football. The few times that a coach in the south blamed whites for everything under the sun, the fans revolted and the coach got the point and shut his political yap.

This happened even with Bama fans in 2020 with Nick Saban -- during a championship winning season. Saban and some of the players did a BLM march blaming whites for everything under the sun. So Bama fans revolted, made videos of shredding jerseys and burning season tickets and such and vowing never to go to another Bama game again. Words can't describe how momentous that was -- to most male Alabamians college football is second to only God and they were throwing that away. Saban got the point and he spent a couple of pre-game press conferences saying things like "black lives matter because ALL lives matter". It was his way of saying that he heard us. They quit doing the white-bashing political statements. And the fans came back to supporting Bama.

We'll see if new Bama coach DeBoer was given the memo.

The Left is really angry that the shooter missed. I cannot understand that hate.

Media-liar broadcasting networks in New York city (under the control of corrupt corporations who profit when liberals control government spending) are responsible for revving up the hatred.

The media-liars are constantly agitating the stupid people in this country to believe things which are not true, and to be unaware of things that *ARE* true, like the Biden family getting rich off of corruption, or Joe showering with his pre-teen daughter.

The media is a weaponized lie system to gain political power so that they can open up the floodgates of government spending. Major corporations make a *LOT* of money when the government starts spending ridiculous amounts of money.

WHAT DO PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTAND ABOUT -— THEY CAN’T LET HIM WIN?

They Cannot Let Him Win.

Nothing has changed in that. There is absolutely no reason to presume nothing else happens.

Ukraine (allegedly them) went out and destroyed a pipeline of gas Europe needed and still needs. Do you realize how huge an event they uncorked in that?

Now they face the utter reality that Trump will cut them off. There is no conceivable way they will lay down and let that happen. If they would blow up an entire continent’s gas supply, you think they would hesitate with a mere assassination? If they succeeded — and even if they were exposed after succeeding — they won’t be cut off.

There is a huge queue of parties THAT CANNOT LET HIM WIN.

There will be other tries.

The "legal cases would be terminated" thing is not going to happen. The Democrats will continue waging lawfare against Trump. Even the case that was thrown out yesterday by Judge Cannon is being appealed. This crap is going to be going on for years - probably after Trump's second term ends.

Trump would be a fool to put up with this nonsense this second time around. He needs to borrow a page from the corrupt enemy's play book and start investigating and prosecuting all the people trying to screw with him.

He needs to clean out the Justice Department and all the top officials in the FBI, and appoint vicious determined men in their place, and then let them go after these rats and keep *THEM* tied up in prosecutions and facing prison time.

He needs to *USE* the power he has in the exact same way they did, but this time it is legitimate because they really are committing crimes and illegal acts.

These are all gov’t failures and the last one (the attempted assassination) is due to Biden appointing incompetent leaders who are incapable of fulfilling their fundamental duties.

So why is the leader of the Secret Service a woman?

I'll expect somebody like Erik Prince to lead the Secret Service organization.

I have little doubt they will try again. They didn’t come this far, after eight years of demonization, libelous invective, and illegal abuse of the police power just to say “oh well, let’s go home and let them have their quiet honest election. “

Sadly true. But if their power can be restricted to an HoA or something small, it may be the best we can get. Personally, I would like to see them outsourced to Kim Jong Un.

Some people are of the opinion that Trump only wants the presidency to enrich himself. I’ve always thought this was a dumb argument for a billionaire - but that’s what some think.

That argument is destroyed now. If it’s all about ‘self enrichment’ why would you continue to risk your life? He could just walk away. Obviously, he’s doing it for other reasons.

The shooter handed Trump the election. That appears to be the conventional wisdom.

OK, but let's not be overconfident.
