    Right now, it's not about what happens if he's wrong, but how possible it is he's wrong. His reporting seems excellent and thorough. He's very sure of his work, but we are dealing with secret ballots here. What are the chances he's wrong?

    Whether it was intended to or not, the false report of "gun" may have saved his life.

    I'm trying to tell you how hard that is to answer.

    For him to be wrong, everything we think we know about polling and the American electorate in general would have to be wrong. Everyone involved would have had to have missed a massive groundswell of crossover voters against Clinton.

    I don't have a good way to answer how likely that is. Way less than 1% imo.

    Agreed. But, of course, Trump's people in MileHigh land are calling it an assasination attempt, per teh Twitterez.

    If Trump's people tell the truth about anything, rest assured it's an accident.

    Ok thank you. I just don't know how sure I could be in his shoes without actually knowing the votes.

    Hope so. This fiasco needs a mandate if there's any hope of coming together.

    They're gonna try and milk the assassination attempt narrative until election day.
