Many of you here know my friend, Salena Zito. She's an excellent reporter who writes with great affection about rural America. Yesterday, she was four feet from Donald Trump when the shooting started. That's her on the ground, beneath a campaign staffer determined to protect her. Her account is here, and worth a read, if you value an eyewitness report from an actual journalist. bit.ly/463gdLn Salena is still in shock, but had the presence of mind to document what she saw on a day that will be discussed for many days to come. I'm proud of her, and glad she's okay.

I have some other thoughts, too, but think I'll wait a bit to share them publicly. In general, I think it's fair to say that Donald Trump was not the only one who dodged a bullet yesterday. I think America did, as well. As with so many other moments in history, this one came down to a centimeter or two. Truly chilling to imagine the reaction, had that bullet found its intended target.

Condolences to the families of the victims.

EDIT: The fatality appears to be a retired fire chief, who died protecting his daughters. fxn.ws/3WlTKGe Tragic.
