Yeah completely dumping the narrative that getting shot changed him and now he’s a super nice guy now was about the dumbest thing someone could do. That narrative gave people permission to think “sure Jan 6 happened last time, but he’s different now and that won’t happen again”.
That could’ve gotten some undecided votes. But as soon as he’s front of a crowd he’s gotta go back to being the asshole that the base (who were going to vote for him no matter what) came to see.
