    /r/politics is in full-scale defeatism mode now. It's like 50% accusations of it being staged, and 50% despair that he's effectively already won.

      50% despair that he's effectively already won.

      After seeing the fistpump photo I share /r/politics feelings on this. I think this sealed it.

        His victory was already sealed, this sealed him as a messiah for his lisan-al-gaib supporters. He can do whatever now.

      He had already won when he woke up this morning.

      I can't shake the feeling that we are so immunized to violence that the post-assassination-attempt bump might not happen. Like how many libs out there are gonna switch their vote to Trump because he got shot at? Are there really that many undecideds that will flock to him now?

      Questions that will be answered in November, I guess.

        It's always about turnout. The people who would change their mind at this point are marginal morons. What matters is you getting your guys into those fucking booths and this is going to energize the hogs to turn up. How much they will is up for debate since we're so far out from the election and Americans have worse long term memories than goldfish.
