Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : "When you're doing these rallies, you're looking at thousands of people," said Poumpouras, who surmised the shooter waited to get into position until after Trump began speaking and commanded the bulk of rally goers' attention.
49% : To that end, Joe Biden said Sunday he had ordered the Secret Service to ensure that Trump has adequate security, including at the Republican national convention beginning Monday in Milwaukee.
37% : But the officer retreated after Crooks pointed a rifle at him, and within moments the attacker fired toward Trump.
36% : Trump put his shoes back after they had been knocked off his feet, took a few moments to defiantly raise his fist and then repeatedly mouthed the word "fight" to his supporters before agents managed to get him out of view.
35% : Once the shooting erupted, former Secret Service agent Jeff James said agents largely responded appropriately with respect to shielding Trump, who had a bullet wound to the tip of his right ear.
32% : Agents quickly draped themselves over Trump after he fell on the stage, prepared to put themselves between the former president and any other gunshots aimed at him.
29% : In an interview with Pennsylvania news station WTAE, James faulted agents for how long it took them to whisk Trump away and into an armored vehicle.
25% : "There may have been four more gunmen who were going to start opening fire," James - who estimated that Trump came within three inches of being shot squarely in the face - told WTAE.
