I was napping while it was reported, after an hour and a half long motorcycle ride home from a trip. It was not the best news to wake up to.

I can imagine at least one scenario where it could have been some of the "best news" to wake up to.

Like, if the bullet had actually exploded the cranium it was aimed at? I wish I'd woken up that news...

Pretty much also the only way it could potentially not benefit the GoP - Sure, they'd have a martyr, but losing Trump would mean they could lose the hard core trumpers, especially if counter propaganda was spread to imply that the replacement pick was jealous of Trump. Let their conspiracy nonsense make them think the GoP was compromised

Even then, it may still work out for them
