      I think if it was strong enough to bloody his ear like that then a few centimeters difference could potentially have done very serious damage.

        Is it possible that it could be a direct hit on the side of his head with something like a paintball gun or something stronger than that but not quite enough to do fatal damage? I have no experience with guns of any kind, genuinely wondering.

        It wouldn’t surprise me at all, not one little bit, that when they “find” the shooter…gasp…they’ll be a self proclaimed massive liberal.

        Well again this is kind of jumping to conclusions. There’s really no need to speculate preemptively on such events the very minute they are covered in the news. I feel like it’s more responsible in general to wait and see more details and facts as the situation is investigated.

            Being skeptical is healthy to a degree but preemptively speculating on stuff with no evidence has a tendency to be “rumor mongering” and do that enough and you get pseudo news like “Some People Think Rally Attack Was Staged” and then the whole “news based on nebulous facts” cycle begins.

        The shooter is dead, according to reports, along with one spectator, and others wounded, some critically. The bullet clipped Trump’s ear, he claims. There was blood on his ear apparently. If those things are all true it’s hard to see it as a deliberate near miss. It looks very much like someone tried to kill him.

      If conservatives can whine and bitch about everything being fake news, well sounds like they can dish but they can’t take it.

        Stooping to their low levels is not helping, rather it just creates a circle of going even lower. Take the moral high ground instead and be the better person.

          Ive been watching this circus for 40 years. Democrats continue to take the moral high ground and now we have Trump.
