I’m old enough to remember when Democrats when an election loss was pending would try and figure out how to convince voters to consider them rather than encouraging people to murder their opponents.
Of course that was back in the days when I was a Democrat last century.
There have been a few humorous reactions to this event but nothing I’ve seen is funnier than this headline from the Daily Caller:
Trump Has Survived More Assassination Attempts Than Harris Has Campaign Interviews
What makes it funny is that it’s true.
What really amazing about this story is that less that half a day before this 2nd assassination attempt Dana Bash was grilling J. D. Vance, Trump running mate trying to blame his and Trump rhetoric for various bomb threats in Springfield.
This begs the obvious question:

Question to
@DanaBashCNN As you attempted to assign responsibility to
@JDVance for phone threats in Springfield does that mean you will be assigning responsibility for #trumpassassinationattempt2 to
@KamalaHarris , Waltz and
@DavidMuir for their incendiary words?
For some reason the base tweet won’t embed, not sure why.
While the tech giants were very quick to scrub Ryan Routh’s very left leaning social media it’s going to be rather hard to scrub all the various interactions he had with left media over the years.
What’s really interesting is that once Ron DeSantis announced that Florida would conduct it’s own investigation suddenly the FBI became talkative about Mr. Routh’s ahem “interesting” past.
Finally my worry concerning all these attempts at murder is pretty much the same as Robert E Lee worry on the Union Generals being swapped out.
He famously said he was afraid that eventually they’d put in charge someone who he didn’t understand.
Me I’m afraid that one of these attempts will eventually succeed.
Of course I’m reaching the point where I think it it gets close enough to election day and the result seems a forgone conclusion and all these attempt keep failing someone in authority in government will just bite the bullet and do it himself.
That the country has fallen so far that I actually contemplate this is amazing to me and extremely sad.
