The speed at which he was turned into a hero and merchandise was made is a testament to the efficiency and responsiveness of capitalism.

Yep, the person who did this is an idiot. They don't realize all they did was help his cause and give him that much stronger of a chance of winning presidency.

I mean, they probably don't realize anything anymore given that they had bullets actually go through them.

If they wanted to help the democrats, they shot the wrong candidate

Literally true, Trump was handed the best PR on a silver platter, and even if he croaked his replacement has a sure win.

~~Not if he didn't miss.~~

Actually, I guess the democrats would lose either way. It would have only prevented Trump from winning (which many people would probably say is a good thing, but for many it would still not be enough of course), not ensuring the democrats win. So yeah, you're right.
