Reagan came into office on a fairly high note, with initial job approval ratings as high as 60% by mid-March 1981. Then, on March 30, Reagan was shot on the streets of Washington by John Hinckley Jr., and the resulting concern and sympathy helped lift his ratings to 68% by May.
"Damn! Why didn't WE think of that?!"

They're claiming he is a Hillary birddog (agent provocateur
sent to disrupt Trump rally).
Apparently, he was holding up a "Republicans Against Trump" sign when the ruckus started.

Tried to search for him, but Wikileaks just sits there when I click search. At first, the home page wouldn't even load. Maybe the Hillbot Crime Family is doing a DDoS on it. Or maybe it's the Russians, because that would make total sense, not.
He's not in the Podesta emails. His name shows up multiple times on STRATFOR mail order lists.
About STRATFOR:
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
Believe it or not, that fact that he is tied into STRATFOR actually makes this whole episode a lot creepier.

I'm beginning to think that the people in charge of all these plants at rallies and whatnot are idiots. They're not on the spook level, it would appear. Although, I guess without wikileaks, and the brave leakers, average folks wouldn't be able to uncover this stuff. That tells me our little comfy online corners might be disappeared in the not so distant future.
He was unarmed right? So his mission, it sounds like, was to have someone (probably another operative) scream "gun", and then he rushes the stage, disrupting the rally, causing chaos, and preventing Trump from finishing his speech.
This is consistent with the other filthy Rove-like operations they have conducted, like paid operatives inciting violence at rallies. You'll note that the pro-Hillary blogs (including TOP) all started screaming about that at the same time. The Hillary camp is filthy, and will stop at nothing to win. They are worse than Nixon.
True to form, TOP had a recommended list diary up criticizing Trump for being "scared" when the secret service scooted him off-stage. That place is a sewer.

Update 10:18 PM EST: Reports suggest that no weapon was found on the man from the Reno Trump rally. Instead, the protester was rushing the stage and a Trump supporter thought they saw a weapon so screamed “He’s got a gun” causing Secret Service to remove Trump from the area.
someone from the crowd yelled "He's got a gun?" They would have just left Trump standing there while they waited to find out whether some random guy rushing the stage was armed or dangerous in some other way? Seems reckless, but how does someone from the inquisitr.com know what caused Secret Service to move, anyway?
I also love "alleged man with gun." Alleged man? Are they implying the guy may have been transgender or do they mean "allegedly armed man?"
Maybe people should be required to show evidence of brain cells before they get to put news stories on the internet.
Donald will probably end up paying the guys legal bills. Ha. This will probably land Trump a couple million extra votes. The WWF crowd eats this kind of "heroics" right up.

that McKinley, the candidate J.P. Morgan, Rockefeller and others had just spent millions to re-elect, got shot while on his way to make a speech about American prosperity. (And to think: wealth has gone to the top faster than it did in the days of railroads and Standard Oil!) The assassin was unemployed, having lost a factory job.
Gave me a whole new perspective on that assassination. (Why did no one teach me these things when I was in school? All those years shot to hell.)
Also, from the TV portrayal, McKinley was shot slightly above the waist (area of vital organs) at point blank range while the assassin was shaking hands with him. That was long before IV nutrition and hydration, too.However, they say McKinley did not succumb until eight days later, which seems odd.
Did I just say that?

That said, SS agents are in more than one spot in the venue and have differing responsibilities. The two who rushed him off the stage were probably responsible for seeing to that, while others were responsible to get the suspect. But, I doubt any of the SS agents waited to act until someone in the audience said of some whacko rushing a Presidential nominee "He's got a gun." That's just the stupidity of whoever wrote that story. The SS would have moved Trump out of danger as soon as they saw someone rushing the stage, gun or not.

was here at this point on an expired visa. If that's accurate, love of Bernie being the motive seems unlikely.
Besides, what's the theory here? Why would a Bernie fan want take out Hillary's competition now, instead of Bernie's competition earlier this year? To make sure Bernie's former opponent wins Tuesday? Or was the guy supposedly just so inspired by Bernie's endorsement of Hillary that the guy wanted to make sure Trump doesn't win?
They had already planned to leverage Bernie into rallying progressives to Hillary, and another WikiLeaks email shows that they already had journalists who’d been posing as Bernie supporters queued up ready to flip and draw Berners to Hillary. “I am doing the opposite, repeatedly writing friendly and positive pieces about Bernie as an HRC supporter, and when the time is right I will have money in the bank with him and his people as a liberal to urge them to come out in force to vote for HRC,” fake journalist Brent Budowsky wrote to Podesta in July of last year.
If anyone thinks this is just conjecture, mind-reading, and speculation: their own e-mails show this is exactly how they work.
Who are all these journalists who were posing as Bernie supporters — some, like Brent Budowsky, on board with the con game as early as July 2015 — whom they had lined up as ready to flip when given their cue? We can only imagine.
With almost every “progressive” scribbler in sight having done the Hillary flip, let’s just say that, for imagining, it’s a target-rich environment.

Last night our first thoughts were:
My husband first instinct was: It's all staged. He'll get "cajones points" and then Hillary will have to copy the same gutsy move.
My son felt the gun loving crowd probably just over reacted and as they see guns everywhere. (which is apparently what happened)
Me... I felt my country slipping deeper into the rabbit hole. My next thought was deep and darker than that.

But then it dawned on me, in about 4 seconds, that this guy completely set this up. The RW martyr to the minions. As someone else said, this is a guy who is intimately connected with the WWF. He's a master of goon buffoonery, shlock fantasy and low brow emotional content.
