Sanders: Trump Assassination Attempt Will Not Impact Biden’s Candidacy
Breitbart ^ | 07/14/2024 | Pam Key

Posted on 07/14/2024 10:16:36 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump would not impact incumbent President Joe Biden’s candidacy.

Sanders said, “I think everybody in this country, no matter what their political views are, wishes former President Trump a rapid and speedy recovery, mourns the loss of innocent lives and those who are wounded and understands that political violence of any kind or shape or form is unacceptable. It is un-American and we’ve got to put an end to it. I think in this traumatic moment it’s time for all of us to take a deep breath, remember what this country is about and what political campaigns are about, and they are about serious discussions of serious ideas as to how we address the serious problems facing this country. So let’s use this moment, if there’s any silver lining in this tragedy, it’s to figure out how we go forward peacefully, constructively and intelligently.”

it’s all the same. If you’re a liberal, it’s automatic you’re a commie.

It won’t impact his candidacy, because his numbers are already in the toilet. All this did was dramatically move the fencesitters over to Trump. This is about a man now, not a party.

Biden and his sycophant media have made a wealth of commercials for President Trump’s campaign!

The calls for a toning down of rhetoric are disingenuous at the least.
There should be demonstrators at every media outlet.
Peaceful!

You need to get out more, Bern. Start listening to your own voters.

Well, seeing how Biden’s DHS-controlled Secret Service made sure that the assassin had the ideal spot saved out for him (and the shooter knew the spot had been reserved for him) and the snipers weren’t allowed to fire at the shooter until after he shot at Trump.... I guess we all know now why Biden isn’t concerned about his likelihood of beating Trump.

It all makes sense now.

Talk to us about THAT, dem party.

Frankly, it would be unsurprising if the polls failed to move much. Reagan was almost universally liked, even when people differed with him on policy. Trump’s detractors seriously dislike him, and not always on policy differences. The only regret many Democrat voters have is that Crooks missed. Nobody gets too critical of an assassination attempt when they think the target is literally Hitler. So the odds are maybe of a 2 point bump in Trump’s polls.

He may be right, given the reaction of Democrats I saw last night at a bar. They went from being on top of the world to complete disappointment.

Sorry Bernie, but it will change things a lot.

As has been reported, Biden campaign is trying to stop vicious attack advertising demonizing Trump. Lunch pail Joe can’t be seen as having any responsibility.

The coming RNC attack advertising that quotes and shows Biden saying threatening things when contrasted with a bloody faced, fist raised, vigorous and defiant Trump will destroy Biden,

What good is a counter-sniper if they wait for the shooter to be allowed to fire first?

Actually, the Trump assassination attempt is going to have a profound effect on the 2024 election

Chances of any Democrat seriously capable of beating Trump stepping up to the plate at this late date to replace Biden and ruining their political careers and eventual shot at the White House is pretty remote

Not sure there actually are any regardless.

Good chance Biden stays in and donors re allocate their money away from Biden's lost cause to supporting down ballot House and Senate candidates in danger of getting sucked under in Biden's sinking Titanic of a campaign

It's really their only option at this point

Lots of kids of Democrat political consultants and campaign workers are going be disappointed to find that their GI Joe (gender ambiguous,of course) action figures with the kung fu grip are missing from underneath the Kwanza bush this year
