      If only he were a martyr from this, but he survived. You have to die to be a martyr.

        His base will embrace it. The question is will the center. I know I am not, as a centrist. But I only speak for myself.

      Stop saying “he’ll be a martyr.”

      This gets touted any time any consequence could come to him. Saying this makes it a lose lose situation. Either we let him get away and do whatever or “he’s a martyr.” No. He reaps whatever consequences come to him for his actions. It shouldn’t come as an assassination, but he has to have some consequence for what he does.
