All this could have been avoided if one guy had slightly better aim.

Time travelers can't do anything right...

People were thinking about that probably a lot in the 30s and 40s

I think about this a lot actually. So close

The guy had a pretty good aim. It was down to luck.

I think the shittier part of this is that if that whole thing hadn't happened, Trump might have not won. He got the best PR of his whole campaign during that one minute.

Eh he was gonna win whether or not that happened. It helped his image certainly, but he was already well on the way to winning and Biden was already increasingly unpopular.

If the guy actually shot him we probably would have been okay though cuz I don't think Vance has the same pull with the Maga base
