Trump may just be able to stay in this race if he can manage to stage an assassination attempt every day.

Gotta give the American public credit for collectively shrugging off Trump assassination attempts the way the GOP shrugs off mass shootings. Feel that gentle breeze of mild interest passing by you ever-so-briefly before disappearing into the ether? Thatโ€™s the power of thoughts and prayers, fuckers.
