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.

Not only that, Thompson led the charge to strip Trump of his secret service detail.
You never know, Biden could pull and LBJ tonight.
I do hope you’re right, but I think NM and CO fall before OR does
That same thing is on Twitter with the guy’s picture and supposed name and in a different format. People there mostly think it’s phony.
They’ll call for a bipartisan shooting next time.
That staffer should be getting a door knock from the FBI and have all clearances and accesses immediately revoked.
sniper was wearing what looked like one of those Kabbalah strings. This is not relevant to anything other than to say some might feel he would be a good scapegoat.
Typical media: oh noes, how will this affect the Demon Rat party???
You don’t hate the media enough.
This election season is one for the history books and we haven’t even gotten to the conventions yet
They can save a lot of money for 2028.
And don’t forget these vile words.....
“I have one job and that’s to beat Donald Trump,” Biden said. “We’re done talking about the (June 27) debate. It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”
What is a Kabbalah string?
Even before the shooting there were persistent rumors that Biden would quit tomorrow. Monday.
The first day of the Republican Convention.
There are some weird people with weird photoshop skills.
RE: It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”
Sick.
Somebody did put him in the bullseye.
Dems thought they were totally free to say anything against Trump. Any slander was okay to them.
Several of my posts the past couple of months included “There is a disturbed, mentally ill person somewhere watching that and thinking they have to put a stop to a threat to democracy like Trump.”
there is a fantastic one that I cant find right now with trump as Neo from the Matrix with Fauci, Harris, Biden, etc trying to kill him. the video is well done.
btw, has anyone heard from the fat guy married to Kelly Ann Conway?
Uh oh. Look who has weighed in with what prediction:
Bingo yes
