Donald Trump does not get post-shooting poll boost
A new poll shows Donald Trump leading Joe Biden by just one percentage point ahead of November's election.www.newsweek.com
Its kinda sad that this is surprising, like we expect people to be like 'what I look for in a presidential candidate more than anything is that they almost got shot and killed'. I thought it might temporarily boost his poll ratings (hopfully I'm wrong), but by November this will have long ago been yesterday's fish n' chip paper. That said, I wonder if it will alter the nature of the discourse of the candidates moving forward. Trump apparently is leaning into more 'unity' rhetoric now, but i doubt he'll keep that up more than 17 minutes, he's too spiteful and vengeful to fool anyone with that shtick- and its not even what his psychpathic base wants, they're braying for blood. I hope the Dems don't go down the deadend of 'civililty' discourse to try and neturalise the Neo-Hiterlite thugs and terrorists of the GOP. Fascism can't be reasoned with, only smashed into a bloody pulp.
