<p dir="ltr">Nah. The Secret Service would catch on, probably in time to stop it. I would not be surprised if they have snipers watching for anyone in the crowd to point a gun-like object at the stage.</p>

It's not like anyone would step in and take his place. Wasn't RFK also assassinated, and that didn't lead to, say, someone stepping in to take his place? (This is based on my reading of the 01968 race. Admittedly, my reading here is cursory, but superficially even if RFK is viewed as a martyr -- and for what? -- the impact of his martyrdom is hard to see.)</div><div><br></div><div>That said, I think it's very unlikely anyone will try anything at the convention.
