Still a bit premature to be sure, but this dropout could prove to be a political masterstroke. Waiting until after the RNC, such that the established republican narrative about beating crooked/sleepy joe becomes totally moot, highlighting Trump all of a sudden as the old/geriatric option, etc.

The problem is he's still quicker-witted than Harris.

Is it true Harris has raised $231 million in 31 hours? Is that in addition to anything she may have left over from Biden's campaign fund?

Crazy, yet somehow totally unsurprising, that nobody cares about the assassination attempt just a week after it happened. Old news.

I find it hard to picture anything really moving the dial these days. It was genuinely shocking when it happened, but that feeling lasted a matter of hours at most and the whole thing was quickly packaged and processed into tweets, headlines and talking points.

As ridiculous as it might sound, the speed at which it came and went has me wondering how much staying power even a successful attempt might have had. It'd be huge, no doubt, but things now move so fast even something of that magnitude may not be able to swim against the current for too long.
