Donald Trump is now a martyr for the 'cause', no longer an ordinary candidate against Joe Biden. His supporters believe nothing less than the hand of god came between him and the assassin's bullet. Within hours, Republicans were sharing an image of Christ with his hand on Trump's shoulder. Political benefits were instant. Elon Musk endorsed Trump, as did another billionaire.

Debates on TV channels are a sad reflection on a party seeped in doubt, despair and disarray. Biden hopes the assassination attempt will unite Dems behind him, but the opposite may happen now that Trump is stronger.
