I wonder what today would be like had that first shooter on the campaign trail not missed.

We'd have Biden as President and the status quo would have continued. No one could have beaten the incumbent but Trump and his cult of personality.

OTOH, he would have been a martyr, but I don't think that would have translated into an election win for anyone else.

You cannot convince me that wasn't staged.
