      Would it have made a difference if they didn’t?

      Nothing inside anyway.

          Or would that have been the lucky outcome after what might happen with a sympathy vote?

              Ours? No. But I’ve never voted for a Republican in my life.

        Oh, barely. An ear is basically a pull tab for the human face. One good yank’ll do.

        It would either need Trump to have impeccable timing, despite being barely able to walk down a ramp unassisted, or rely on the shooter being able to just barely clip Trump.

            He would have to have impeccable timing still. Lifting his hand just as the gunshots ring out? I doubt Trump has the response time to consciously do that.

              Some reports say he was hit by glass from the teleprompter.

        This doesn’t look like him acting to me, I doubt the old man would be able to pull it off.

        Also, there’s two confirmed dead so far:

        Butler County District attorney told the Associated Press (AP) that a shooter was dead and that a rally attendee had also been killed.

          Thank you for answering; I hadn’t seen the confirmation yet.

        Just because the head is filled with beans doesn’t mean it’s not a real head.
