Lots of people seem keen to jump to this being staged. That makes zero sense: Trump was already winning before this, especially with Biden (his preferred opponent) looking to hang on to the nomination.
Trump was already winning before this
Do you just not understand how elections work? You don't "win" before votes are cast.
Are you being wilfully pedantic, or do you not know that it's possible to tell someone is ahead in a contest?
Polls are worthless now and response rates are too low to matter.

Or, is this just your gut talking?
Polls have significant predictive power, especially when you poll reportedly and/or aggregate them. Which is why all political campaigns, R or D, spend literally millions running their own polling. Moreover, it's now July, the first convention is literally coming up within days, so the excuse of being "far out from the election" no longer holds.
Totally agree with your last statement. I think I was just saying we'll have to wait and see how this turns out.
winning in the court of public opinion
Which public? That's their point. It's a snapshot of people that do enter polls. I'm too fuckin busy to take time out of my day for that. But I will vote.
the republican voters, obviously.
conspiracy theorist in me sees several venues where it is Very beneficial to POTUS45 to stage this:
more wicked stuff comes to mind but I think above is sufficient . Fact that bullet grazed him and nobody around him in a tight setting is kind of strange, with his bravado on display with fist shaking. One can only dream for this election campaign video to be run on repe 24/7 on fox and other outlets, giving him more air time, and now that Biden asked everyone to read project2025 entire nation will be watching nothing but POTUS45. Still could be some morron that didn't get his signature at the rally pulling out his Beretta..
Witness statement was that another attendee was shot in the head and killed and a 2nd in the forearm and hand.
sounds like, indeed bystanders been hit according to latest information. I still believe that POTUS45 would be OK sacrificing any number of people as long as it gets him power. No evidence of his involvement but entire story "smells"
There is no scenario where this helps Treason Trump. Now the entire world knows that Convicted Criminal and Sex Offender Treason Trump is so widely hated that people literally want to kill him. And now Treason Trump knows it too.
