If it actually happens, we will never here the end of it. I'm sure they have beefed up security so much that they would never get to him. (no pun intended)

The R's have claimed victimhood forever. Even trying to claim martyrdom as MLK and JFK as one of "theirs." Honestly, we shouldn't even speculate on such a thing. No matter who the President is, such a scenario is horrific.

For all the obvious reasons, plus the resulting jingoism is just about the only possible thing that could invert the imminent blue wave into a red one.

Iran would be a smoking hole in the earth,
Their Navy would be sent to the bottom, their Air Force would be wrecks on the ground, their infrastructure would be non existent, their leadership would be dust.

Something like this would unite the country unlike anything seen since WWII, Dems and Repubs alike.

That way if would spare the US, focus where it belongs on Trump and few would go to Trump places for fear of an attack which would never occur. Bluff.

My prediction is Iran is going to retaliate for Trump's attack by putting Silkworm antiship missile batteries next to the Strait of Hormuz to deny passage to any western ship.

And World War 3 here we'd come!

Anyway I shouldn't think Iran would; they'll just take it out on more vulnerable people.
