Iran doesn’t want the US to collapse, they want rational actors in the White House. They had a stable plan under Obama then Trump came along and started complaining about random “bad deals” and scrapped the agreements.
This was a great well deserved ambush. The very first question was absolutely devastating for him and got him to show his nasty side. He can appeal to his base all he wants because they aren’t the majority.
So I’m guessing that no one from a foreign government has even tried to take out presidential candidates? Because this kid got extremely close all while openly researching past assassinations, scoped out the rally site before the secret service, flew his drone and even got spotted multiple times. I could only imagine how easy it would be for real professional killers funded by a government.

I’m saying voters are locked in. He barely lost support when he tried to overthrow the government so he’s barely going to get support when someone tries to assassinate him.
