      I was against Biden dropping out because I donā€™t think Harris has charisma. Iā€™ve been pleasantly surprised at the initial reaction.

      While I hope to be proven wrong, I suspect this initial momentum is going to fade before long and itā€™s going to get rough as the excitement dies down and the Right get their talking points dialed in.

      But itā€™s going far better than I thought in these first few days, so Iā€™ll happily take the L on my predictions.

        Right talking points so far:

        Sheā€™s not a man

        Sheā€™s not white

        She laughs

        She doesnā€™t have kids of her own
