    Kinda. Yours was equivocated. "If this, and that, then..." ehizzy was more straight up "this is happening". But still, I'll be sure to credit you if I reference it again. :D

    A normal candidate, after an assassination attempt, who said they were being treated for PTSD would get sympathy. But Trump poses as Superman. He never loses, Covid can't stop him, even a bullet can't stop him because he is so powerful.

    He won't quit the race

    Say he were to quit the race hypothetically. What would happen with all his MAGA constituents? Would they disappear or rally behind Vance?

    Then they’d realize outside of the vaccine take, RFK has very little do with their ideals.

    Anti-immigration, pro-gun, and anti-transition for minors. Sounds like the kind of platform that Trumpers would love.

    Believes in gun control, but makes a point of saying he doesn't want to take anyone's guns away. Specifically said he opposes gender-affirming therapy for minors.

    In any case--I bet that if Trump dropped out, RFK would court his people hard, 'cause that's really the only chance he has. And I'm quite certain he would strongly bang the "I'm the only one with a chance to beat the democrats" drum.

    And he'd be defeated soundly.

    Probably true. But what if Trump dropped out and the RNC got behind him?

    I just realized, and I'm a little embarrassed that I just now realized this, that the "2025 project" is 100% a reaction and tube sock brain response to Project 1619.

    Not happening, IMO.

    They'd maybe throw Haley, DeSantis or Vance out there and chalk this up as a loss. MAGA wouldn't be energized enough to go out there and vote for any of them. It'd be a landslide for Harris.

    No, they've tied themselves to this rock and they're following it straight to the bottom.

    Did Trumps ear heal? Doesn’t look like it was shot with a rifle just a few weeks ago? Any of his supporters want to chime in?

    Trump heals better than anybody in the world. The Dr’s even tell him his healing abilities are like something they’ve never seen before. It’s a godly ability he has for healing. It’s like his ear is brand new he heals that good. He thanks the shooter for shooting his ear because it allowed the world to see how goodly he can heal

    Probably, like reptiles, a new one just grew in its place.
