A couple years ago? Sure
Now? We are on the brink. The supreme court is so corrupt that they have given trump immunity for everything he has ever or will ever do. This includes a literal violent fucking insurrection where he attempted to lynch congress and the VPOTUS.
In a world where people gave a shit about any of the above? Yeah, this would be a problem. But Democrats and The Left are hellbent on tearing down their candidate for a multitude of reasons and have consistently refused to do anything that could possibly have prevented the current mess of a supreme court.
Attempted political violence doesn't make stopping trump harder. Yes, it emboldens his base but nobody else is going to feel sympathy and the Democrats were always going to kill their own chances anyway.
Reasons like he may not be fit to do the job, he's trailing in the polls, and is likely to lose?

Polls haven't shifted one way or the other as of yet. If this does anything, then there might need to be a different conversation.
Biden has been trending down since April and has been behind in the polls since then. His an incumbent who is down in the polls.
How about the fact that he looks confused a lot too? He's very old and doddering. At his age he couldn't be a judge in my state, but he can be president?
