A big failure of the protection and intelligence services on this one.
I imagine they have tens of thousands of potential nut jobs being monitored, and hundreds of potential attempts neutralised.The US has a long history of assassinations and assassination attempts on politicians.
I dread to think what would happen if the shooter wasn’t a white republican.

Honestly I don't think it's remotely suspicious.
I would probably reverse the question and ask given the above isn't it surprising that an attempt hasn't been made before? In fact I think it's remarkable how few politicians are assassinated.
