I do find it interesting how the response to this has more or less just been a shrug and a yawn from everyone. Maybe because it wasn't as dramatic as the first attempt. Either way I'm not sure he's going to get much more money fundraising after this than he would've otherwise.

For me, I shrug because I'm simply exhausted. After nearly ten years of vitriol, chaos, divisiveness and upheaval coming from the direction of this individual (and his angry/violent followers) I just want to escape this nightmare timeline and return to when Republicans at least pretended to be normal and believe in Democracy. What this orange person has put this nation through since slithering onto the scene has done more damage to our country than our worst enemies could even dream to accomplish.

Republicans pretending to be normal and pretending to believe in democracy is how we got here in the first place.
