And by Trump’s argument, it’d be completely legal for Biden to do it.

Perhaps she means figuratively. In which case I agree that Trump is absolutely going to get murdered. His cultists won’t care that he lost, and even though reaching undecided voters ought to be the whole point of the debate, I can only assume they’ll be off chasing invisible elves or whatever it is they’ve been doing for the past 8 years that prevented them from forming an opinion by now, so they likely won’t even notice there was a debate.
EDIT: Well, looks like I was wrong about that first part. Though that makes the idea of Biden as an actual assassin even more laughable.

I didn’t watch the debate, but by the sound of it, stabbing Trump to death in mid-sentence would actually have been a sounder debate strategy than the one they ended up going with.
Dark Brandon standing over Trump’s corpse, a bloody blade in his hand, yelling “Where is your orange god now!!!” is the kind of muscular, confrontational politics that the Democratic party needs today.

Apparently, the Assassins have unionized and have withdrawn their labour to protest for better working conditions.

No assassination attempt, but lots of shooting himself in the foot. Yikes, that went badly.
And I owe on the bet that Trump would cancel on the debate. So now I’m doubly upset.

Well, if the Supreme Court had decided presidents get absolute immunity, Trump could be in danger.
File under “I wish”. That would have made Biden cooler, and he could just argue he did it as part of his official duties and get away scott free. (jk)
