I don't know how you're supposed to put it to bed with any more urgency than planning a major interview & putting out an unequivocal statement. I get the impression that people are begging for a tweetstorm, or calling in angrily to Morning Joe

Gaiman having a weakness for women with undiagnosed personality disorders would explain a lot in his life & his art. It doesn't excuse him in the least.

You don't. You're obliged to turn to a different metric, like election results, but that's not going to give you a reliable gauge given the small sample sets

For the effort to push him off the ticket. If his detractors can't come up with more material, & he's intent on staying in, there isn't anything else of substance to be said.

As long as he nails his Stephanopoulos interview, I think this is going to be the end of it. If Biden won't be moved, that's all she wrote.

Yeah, I was going to say, that wouldn't be secession, that'd be full-on partition. How ugly it would be!

The rural/urban split makes secession a moot point; it doesn't solve the problem, it just multiplies it

The fact that I know more about Joe Biden’s one bad debate night than I do about Donald Trump’s years of raping and sexually assaulting girls within Jeffrey Epstein’s child sex trafficking ring shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

In terms of how old they are now? I'd guess more like 60. Something like 1964-65 is my cutoff. So Pritzker would have one last shot, maybe, but if he can't swing in 2028 that's probably all she wrote. But the Beshear/Wes Moore young Xers feel like a demographic sweet spot. Shapiro too, at a stretch.

If Biden drops out, I think anyone 70 or up is going to get Biden comparisons for the foreseeable future. I would guess that any candidate who can overcome that is a strong candidate on the merits.

Roy Cooper will be 75 years old in 2032. No way anyone wants to rerun this nonsense anytime soon.

Beshear. Not strong enough to be risked on a substitute campaign, good record, complementary to her experience. Harris-Shapiro is probably a stronger ticket, but Shapiro's probably better off being saved for 2028/2032. Roy Cooper also a good choice for same reasons.

The way spooks are trained & the work they do has a bad habit of driving them crazy. Flynn is a classic case of having spent too long in those trenches.

It's Burgum if Trump is smartly advised, Vance if he isn't. That's the whole game. Anything else is an even bigger mistake, because Trump needs the $$$ Burgum's pockets & Vance's rolodex represent. Flynn would be tantamount to shooting himself in the thigh halfway through the race

You see, focusing on fundamentals is boring & stupid. Fundamentals are Web 1.0. Ford Crown Victoria. What you need to beat Trump is a reality show that will entertain reporters more than Trump. That's the Tesla that wins this election
