Shooting the messenger not the message. He was appointed by Trump and quit in disgust after Trump's disturbing attacks of US service members and veterans. Kelly got a good soldier's heart, spirit and soul. Trump is just disgusting.

I respect Joe for bowing out of the election. Still believe that he can beat Trump. No doubt he is old but his faculties are still intact compare to the rapidly cognitive decline of Trump. I am sure Trump’s allies can see his decline but too afraid to speak out and call for his resignation. The Dems are finally coming together and just in time for the DNC. The donors are back and Kamala is getting lots of support from his party leading voices. She is rightfully calling for an open convention and she will win relatively easily as some of the candidates have endorsed her. She also may inherit Biden’s delegates. She will be in the path of least resistance to be endorsed She has the pathway for the campaign war chest too. If she is formally endorsed at the convention, there is a rich line up for running mates. Shipiro and Whitmer will strengthened the chances to win the swing states. Kelly and his wife are strong advocate for gun control. Lots of intelligent and talents for running mate. A united organized and well funded Dems with a younger highly intelligent woman of colour will appeal to the blacks, women and the young voters. Trump may be regretting that he push Biden out of the race

Every single rally speech including the RNC speech, Trump has been rambling, incoherent and unhinged. That’s a continuously pattern of evidence that Trump has dementia. Biden had one horrible debate and it not indicative that he has dementia. His masterful command of foreign policy during the news conference was impressive. Trump’s foreign policy is just expressing love for dictators

Do it now Trump. End the horrible Russia invasion of Ukraine. You need not wait till you become President. Perhaps it is simple empty rhetoric to fool your gullible supporters.

The opinion from 500 medical professionals. Biden is just old. https://deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/doctors-are-warning-of-trumps-dementiaits

That’s what I thought too. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-dementia-evidence-overwhelming-top-psychiatrist-1881247

Should he decide to leave, he will be remembered for kicking Trump’s behind in 2020.

Both should leave. Polls shown majority of voters do not want either for the election. Biden polled worst though.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is giving jD Vance a lesson in foreign policy with Israel by giving the snub. Mighty embarrassing for the newly minted running mate with the silent treatment by Netanyahu. Much to learn for the foreign policy novice.

Not a fan of polls. Try harder. Race still wide open after the low energy, incoherent and rally style RNC speech.

The fact that Trump has not reveal any medical report of his small injury to refute that allegation. What is he hiding?

You are akin to a drama queen. A gunshot wound caused by a projectile from a gun would cause bleeding, bone fractures, organ damage and in severe cases even death (wiki). His wound was a small cut caused by splinters from the teleprompter that the projectile hit. Yes Trump use teleprompter while whining continuously about Biden using one.

After his disastrous RNC speech and low energy appearance, everything is back on the table.

That face cover size complied with standard for adult - width 17-18.5 and 15.5 - 17 height. Trump's oversize bandage is for attention and sympathy grabbing. Maybe a grifting item potential like fist pump sneakers.

His supporters are seen sporting fake white bandages on their ears. Wearing diapers was the previous fashion statement. Are they normal?

You did'nt miss much as his speech was just regurgitating his greatest hits from 2016 and his usual lies about world peace and claim about the $85 b worth of military hardwares left following the withdrawal. I think he blowed the opportunity to present himself as a changed man following the shooting that may appeal to a wider audience. He started off well with an appeal for unity but descended to his usual campaign rally style. He wore the oversize bandage like a badge of honour. Now a fashion statement by his cult supporters. His wounds still unclear after 5 days since the shooting. No medical record or statement by the medical staffs. He seem much more subdued and slower. In his defence, he has a tight and busy schedule and his shut eye during the convention can be expected for someone his age.

For the umpteen times, polls are often wrong predicting the end result. Polls were wrong in 2016 and 2020. The race is far from over.

biggest political dynasty disaster in American history

Obviously a foreign policy newbie and already pissed of the young progressive voters with his careless statements. He probably will lose the women voters with his abortion stance. Peter Theil heavy hand to have Vance appointed as Trump’s running mate will light up Dems misery last few weeks.

Just few blocks from the RNC convention at the Fiserv Forum, the Republican politically homeless are hosting an event blasting Trump a freaking lunatic that has narcissistic disorder. So much for Republicans coming together.

Republican landslide & red wave. Haven't we heard that before only to be disappointed.

Looking at NASDAQ and DOW continue rise and the muted prior and post election polls, it seem that the shooting event has not shaken up the country and has little impact on either the outcome of the election. Perhaps due to the fact that Trump is not an incumbent and a person who always courted violence. The key issues like economy, abortion, immigration,taxes and foreign policies will be at play. It is still 4 months away and the race is still wide open. However Dems have a big decision to made by Aug 19.

During my days, 5.56 x 45 mm caliber was used and seem very powerful at 100-120 yards to do serious damage. Anyway the young man was a lousy shooter and couldn;t even pass the muster to join the school shooting club. Glad Trump not hit and felt bad for the man shot

Condemned by the Dem but in the case of Republicans, attacks are often make light or deny. Remember this after Paul Pelosi got his skull cracked, Trump re-tweeted a photographn of a hammer and a pair of underwear or Clay Higgins (R) posted that the assilant was a male prostitute. No condemnation.

A military-style riffle like the AR15 can do serious damage. A trauma surgeon described the devasting injuries liken 'bones are exploded, soft tissue is absolutely destroyed". A typical effecive range for AR15 to hit a human-size target is between 400 to 600 yards. In this case, the distance was reported to be 100-120 yards and well even the effective range. I tend to agree with you that he wasn't actually struck by the bullet judging from his very minor injuries. Probably splinters from glass or teleprompter as alleged. Just my two cents worth and like you will wait for more official reports.
