Previous Episode: Phil Harriman on Trump Assassination Attempt. "He took a bullet for America" is a winning message.

News reporter and editor Gina Hamilton joins the show to give her take on the shooting yesterday of Donald Trump by 20 year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks at a Pennsylvania campaign rally. She's not surprised it happened, and lays the blame partly at the feet of violent rhetoric used by Trump and his campaign.

Joe Biden, she says, reacted presidentially to the incident, and reminded people what leadership looks like. Biden called Mr. Trump, canceled campaign events, acknowledging the victims and their families, and strongly denounced political violence. Trump, on the other hand, continues to be all about himself, Hamilton says.

So what about the conventions in Chicago and Milwaukee? Is past prologue?
