Four Assassination Attempt Experts for Interview.
# 1 Headline: A Lone Wolf Who Took the Rhetoric of Biden and His Backers to Heart - It Was 'Time to Put Trump in the Bullseye.'
As America's Psychiatrist, Carole Lieberman, M.D., M.P.H. states:
"Thomas Matthew Crooks could just be a lone wolf who took the rhetoric of Biden and his backers to heart - that it was "time to put Trump in the bullseye" Or he could be a hired assassin.
"We could be watching the Leftist plan play out before our eyes. The endgame may well have always been to assassinate Trump because he was too much of a threat to the Deep State. When they saw Lawfare made Trump more popular instead of stopping him, and Biden's dementia became too obvious at the Debate and NATO; when they saw Biden didn't didn't stand a chance, they 'pulled the trigger' on assassinating Trump and they will try again!

# 3 Headline: Assassination Attempt Reaction Uncharted Territory in Social Media Era
William S. Bike -- Historical Commentator
The public and political reaction to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump is "uncharted territory" in the social media era, said William S. Bike, author of the book Winning Political Campaigns: A Comprehensive Guide to Electoral Success.
"In the past, an assassination or attempted assassination of a President or Presidential candidate also resulted in a polling and popularity boost for the President or the President's party, as the public immediately reacted with sympathy and support," Bike said.
Bike noted that both President Gerald Ford's and President Ronald Reagan's approval ratings rose after assassination attempts, and President Lyndon Johnson's approval rating started out at 76% after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, whose last approval rating was 58%.
"But the era of social media is uncharted territory," Bike said. "After the vile assassination attempt against former President Trump, both Republicans and Democrats began offering opinions on social media that ranged from thoughtful to cruel to ridiculous. Back in the day, one would have expected Americans to close ranks and offer sympathy to former President Trump, and support for President Joe Biden for his remarks condemning the assassination attempt. There has been some of that, but also plenty of criticism of both men, which would not have happened in an earlier, less partisan era."

#4 Headline: Don’t Assume How Assassination Attempt Will Impact Election
Edward Segal --Author of: 'Whistle-Stop Politics: Campaign Trains and the Reporters Who Covered Them'
It's too early to tell how or if yesterday's assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump will affect the November presidential election and that there are other factors that will help determine the outcome.
That's according to Edward Segal, a former campaign manager and aide to congressional candidates, a presidential campaign historian, and a crisis management expert. He's the author of "Whistle-Stop Politics: Campaign Trains and the Reporters Who Covered Them" and "Crisis Ahead: 101 Ways to Prepare for and Bounce Back from Disasters, Scandals, and Other Emergencies."
"The attempt on Trump's life has created empathy and sympathy for the Republican presidential candidate in many quarters and strengthened the resolve of his supporters to send him back to the White House. But for entrenched supporters of President Joe Biden and independent voters who are more concerned about pocketbook and other pressing issues, it's doubtful that empathy and sympathy alone will be enough to convince them to vote for Trump," Segal said.
He noted that "another factor to consider will be the impact of calls from the leaders of both political parties to cool down the heated rhetoric that has been the hallmark of year's election season. If the temperature is lowered far enough and quickly enough, perhaps the candidates and voters will concentrate exclusively on policies and not focus on personalities."
"Elections can be like riding a new roller coaster for the first time, with unexpected and nerve-wracking ups and downs. Just because a candidate is up today, does not mean he or she won't be down tomorrow," Segal observed.
"We are months away from casting ballots, and there's no telling what other surprises may be in store on the presidential campaign trail between now and then," he commented.
Segal recalled that in 1912, there was an assasination attempt on former president Theodore Roosevelt as he sought re-election to the White House as the nominee of the Progressive Party. Roosevelt refused medical treatment, delivered a lengthy previously scheduled speech, and fully recovered from his wounds. The former Republican lost the race to Democratic presidential nominee Woodrow Wilson.
Threats Against Whistle-Stopping Politicians
In his book, "Whistle-Stop Politics," Segal documents politicians who faced threats while campaigning or traveling by train, including Abraham Lincoln in 1861, President Herbert Hoover in 1932 and Vice President Richard Nixon in 1960.
Abraham Lincoln's whistle-stop train tour from Springfield, Illinois to his inauguration in Washington, DC in 1861 was marked by several threats to the president-elect's life.
For example, after his train left Cincinnati, Ohio, a bomb was discovered in a small carpet bag on a seat in the railroad car that was occupied by Lincoln and his family and friends. The bomb was found only because luggage was prohibited in the car.
The explosive device, which was timed to detonate in fifteen minutes, was quickly deactivated. It "would have exploded with a force sufficient to have demolished the car and destroyed the lives of all persons in it," according to a story by "The World" newspaper in 1861.
To help ensure his safety, President Franklin D. Roosevelt campaigned and traveled in a specially fortified railroad car, the "Ferdinand Magellan."
United Press reporter Merriman Smith, who often accompanied FDR on his train travels, described how the private railcar had been fortified. "The under part of the car is heavily shielded with steel to make it bottom-heavy in the event an assassin tried to bomb the train. The heavy weight would make the car sit down rather than turn over.
"The windows are three inches thick and can stop a .50 caliber machine-gun slug at point-blank range. The windows, because of their thickness, are tinted a slight green which has the same effect as a color filter on a camera. The countryside can be seen through the windows in true color value regardless of glare or reflection."
