      Remember that a large portion of Trumps supporters are hardcore fundamentalist Christians, they already believe that Trump is fulfilling prophesy as “God’s chosen leader.”

      This plays to their worldview perfectly.

      People don’t vote for Trump because they like his policies. They vote for him because he symbolises something to them, whatever that may be.

      An attempt on his life just magnifies the power of that symbol.

      Perhaps another way to say the same thing… clueless idiots who can’t decide who to vote for, are much more likely to vote for the guy that got shot while fighting for their rights, than they are to vote for the old senile guy.
