Nah, Regan was shot and somebody tried to do Bush in but failed. Id LOVE to know how many attempts the Secret Service stopped before they started under Obama.

What is this referring to? Bush Sr. with the Japanese dinner, or Bush Jr. with the pretzel?

The US by definition cannot be a third world country.

Third world is literally defined by not being aligned with Russia or the US.

JFK was actually assassinated on campaign, and RFK IIRC was seen as having a pretty good chance to win when he was killed too.
