Some Republicans eagerly took advantage of the July assassination attempt on Trump to harvest political capital ... and it worked. Their guy was out in front by a lot at the time. So they are trying it again in an effort to stop their guy from slipping further after a bad week.

I don't recall that Dan Quayle struggled as much in 1988 as JD Vance is struggling now. He had a bad moment at the debate that year, but that was Lloyd Bentsen's doing. Vance is just making it up as he goes along, and he basically admitted that.

Try again, JD. Name names. Both gunmen voted for your guy. Both didn't care for Biden. Your rhetoric is as inflammatory and violent as it is baseless. But, as you've admitted, you make things up to get attention.

So when will someone suggest that DeSantis is trying to take charge of the investigation into the second Trump attempted assassination because he wants to conceal that it was a staged/false flag operation? Seems inevitable in today's world.
