Reagan got shot and had the biggest win in US history.
This timeline sucks
And this time he only has to beat Biden, which was already swinging in his direction.
Reagan was shot 3 years before the election.
And…?
The election cycle is only 4 years long? It was forgotten by then.
Reagan won so many states because Mondale was extremely unpopular. He was Carter’s VP, and Carter had been successfully painted as our weakest president by Republicans. Mondale also gave a speech where he said he would raise taxes.
TLDR: he’s fine, but the gunman was killed, along with a rally attendee and another person in critical condition.
People waving their YOU’RE FIRED placards felt a little unfortunate.
The bullet entered his skull from just above the ear and lodged inside. There is no damage, however the surgeon could not find Trump’s brain. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
