MILWAUKEE — In the hours after a would-be assassin fired a bullet through former President Donald Trump’s ear, Panfilo DiCenzo, a 40-year-old Democratic voter from Pittsburgh, drew a simple conclusion about the political effect of the attack: “It definitely is good for Trump.”
At a time when President Joe Biden has been struggling to shore up support with fellow Democrats following a miserable June debate performance and shaky cleanup effort, some professional Democratic political operatives said Saturday’s shooting will end up sealing the incumbent’s electoral fate.
“We’re so beyond f---ed,” one longtime Democratic insider said, noting that the image of Trump thrusting his fist in the air, with blood dramatically smeared across his face, will be indelible.
“The presidential contest ended last night,” said a veteran Democratic consultant.
“Now it’s time to focus on keeping the Senate and trying to pick up the House,” he said. “The only positive thing to come out of last night for Democrats is we are no longer talking about Joe Biden’s age today.”
One Democratic strategist who has worked on multiple presidential campaigns and on Capitol Hill said that the physical targeting of Trump robs Biden of his main argument against the former president. Biden, the strategist pointed out, has tried to convince voters that Trump is so extreme that he presents a threat to democracy.
“That message is dead,” the strategist said.

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump all but sealed his victory at the polls:
The attempted assassination of Donald Trump all but sealed his victory at the polls in November, veteran former Clinton campaign consultant Dick Morris said Sunday.
Trump’s escape from death with courageous bravado comes as some Democratic heavyweights have called for President Biden, 81, to bow out of the presidential race because of mental and physical issues.
“Functionally, the race is over,” Morris said on his WABC podcast. “[Trump] wins if he lives. … There’s nothing that can get into Trump’s path except a bullet.

I mean, this is not unexpected. Biden keeps making statements as if that will somehow make him seem like a ‘leader.’
The big wigs behind the scenes are already polling all of this. Just know, Trump’s convention speech will be historical beyond typical ones of the past.
No wonder Biden is giving press conference after press conference regarding what happened..he knows this is going to destroy his campaign

They will just have to run on Biden’s vigor and intellectual skills then
Basically, they're throwing in the towel. Lose with Biden/Harris in 2024 and then start fresh with a clean slate in 2028.
We need to f’ the Democrats so hard that if they do get out of bed they’ll be bowlegged for life. Don’t let a crisis go to waste.
Im hearing a call for unity, you can shuv that
they have much, much more to worry about now..... game on
Yup. And his war record - did you know his son Beau was killed at Thermopylae defending the dead body of King Leonidas? Also Joe won every spelling bee he was ever in...
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, YOU B**CHES! (or don’t... I’m past giving a damn.)
Thanks, Dickie Toe Sucker, we needed yet another incitement to assination. No doubt the SS and/or FBI will be arresting you soon.
/sarc
Trump is also done in 2028 and there’s no obvious successor unless Trump’s VP can step into his shoes.
The old saying is, you come for the king, you better not miss.
Make them look under their beds
Don’t worry, this did not go away.
“The only positive thing to come out of last night for Democrats is we are no longer talking about Joe Biden’s age today.”
I heard he really built the ark, singlehandedly, no really!
My guess is that they just called the party machine controlling Milwaukee, Detroit and Philadelphia, "no fraud this time" so they're not going to attempt to cheat in MI, PA and WI to defend the blue wall.
