doubt it.
He still has to govern.
He'll have some statesman like speech about the dangers of Trump and that a new young front is needed to carry the torch etc.
What ever happens over the next week will define his legacy
He wont want that to be weak.
We'll see,but Harris as President could maybe be the Democrats best option as it stands
 
This is the first time I have watched an RNC but did so as a result of the weekends assassination attempt, not out of support, more so a curiosity as to what is going on with these people and their reactions. I have come away thinking they are nuts.

I would have expected the assassination attempt to bring in record breaking figures as I am sure that outside of the core vote there will have been many like me, but the figures don't look so great, all things considered. I wonder if this is indicative of the public mood.

More than 20 million viewers watched former President Donald Trump’s acceptance speech Thursday night, as the Republican National Convention ended in Milwaukee, according to fast national ratings data compiled by Nielsen...

By comparison, fast national overnight ratings compiled by Nielsen showed that 19.85 million people watched Trump accept the GOP nomination in 2020...

Trump’s 2016 speech, which drew 32.2 million viewers as he rolled toward victory that November, still fell short of the 38.9 million Americans who watched John McCain’s acceptance speech before the 2008 RNC.

Are you living in 1986? Traditional TV viewership is declining. Folk watch on new fangled devices such as mobiles and tablets, and on platforms such as X and the YouTube. I watched part of Trump's speech on YouTube. I would rather inject myself with a pint of aids than watch substantial parts of a political convention on television. I say that as a supporter of Trump.

It's weird.
I think the republicans aren't making as much of it as they could be.
Probably due to the fact that the kid was a republican with a clear mental illness who had no problem getting his hands on a semi automatic rifle. Which is kinda what they want.
And the Jesus nuts have also stolen the narrative.
