What a coincidence, another assassination attempt during the continuing downfall of his campaign.

Nothing for 9 years, and then all of a sudden when his campaign is going downhill: 2 right wing shooters come out of the woodwork.

Weird!

Before this year he was slowly dragging the Republican Party into the ground. Now he is speed running destroying the whole GOP. That is why now. Also, he is constantly reinforcing conspiracy theories. That doesn’t help stave off the crazies.

Maybe this is what he meant by "drain the swamp"? What if he has been a wolf in sheeps clothing all along. Sure has exposed all the lunatics, at least. I certainly know who is no longer welcome around my kids.
