‘Enthusiasm’ for Trump surges, as new and early voters join
Washington Examiner ^ | July 14, 2024 | Paul Bedard

The Trump campaign is seeing a new surge in support following the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump Saturday in western Pennsylvania.

Adviser and pollster John McLaughlin told Secrets that the shooting is already increasing the enthusiasm at the Republican National Convention that opens tomorrow in Milwaukee.

What’s more, he said, that is translating into more people registering to vote for the former president and more Republicans voting early.

As he made his way to Milwaukee, McLaughlin told us, “The Republican convention will be very energized, and that increased enthusiasm will translate into even more supporters registering to vote, making plans to vote as early as they can by their state laws and bring us to victory on Election Day.”

This afternoon, Trump said that he, too, is traveling to Wisconsin, keeping to an earlier plan that was expected to be disrupted by the attempt on his life during Saturday’s 2024 rally.

A new image from the Trump campaign was released following the assassination attempt. Graphic courtesy Trump campaign.

His campaign released a statement that included what has already become an iconic image of his will to fight for supporters. “Never surrender,” it reads above the photo of him thrusting his fist in the air, blood smearing his face.

In statements he and his wife, Melania Trump, have put out since the shooting, Trump has taken a tone of unity and that appears to be the overriding theme for the convention.

“Dawn is here again. Let us reunite. Now,” said the former first lady.

The shooting and the new attention the country has on Trump gives the president a chance to reintroduce himself during the convention. ***

How much disruption is expected during the RNC, and how much of it will be because local authorities will allow it to happen?

I think the Left may have realized that they have overplayed their hand here.

NOW is the time for a bi-partisan J13 committee to be seated and begin activation.

They couldn't wait to form a sham "bi partisan" committee to conclude that President Trump had CAUSED the "armed insurrection" on January 6, and orchestrated a months long made for/in HELLywood production "proving" President Trump was the ringleader of aforementioned insurrection and that he did it JUST by using words.


How did a 20 year old kid get to where he thought he was doing God's work by killing President Trump ?

Certainly it wasn't the WORDS of Maxine Waters, or Nancy Pelosi, or Chuck Schumer, or DOZENS of other public democrat voices . . . . .

or WAS it?

They’ve refused some lefty group from protesting inside the boundries. Outside of Milwaukee and Madison, we are a very conservative state, just like everywhere else.

It’s Milwaukee, not Chicago. The authorities in Milwaukee are much more cognizant of the realities on the ground than are the political denizens of the ant hill that is Chicago.

There may be some bumbling with the Federal authorities, but after the debacle in Pennsylvania, they shall have to keep their act relatively clean, if not enthusiastically engaged.
