Healthy campaigns don't have the candidate starting romantic spats with 9/11 truthers, getting debate advice from Putin and Asad apologists, waste cycles on ridiculous stories about migrants and attack pop stars for their endorsements.
Funny thing about the change in the dynamic of the race. The fear of Trump winning had a lot of institutions acting like they had to contend with him so they were tempering their behavior with him. Harris in and Biden out appears to have changed that dynamic a lot. People no longer expect and dread the inevitable Trump win.
Art vs. Pop.
I also really love hearing stories from my buddy who owns a chic bike shop in an area with a lot of serious cyclists doing a similar thing to people coming in and asking for recumbent bikes. They pull out their phone and advise the person where the nearest medical supply store is.
Whats more...because of her performance being buzz-worthy ('she kicked his ass') a lot of people who didn't see it are finding it online after the event.
Looking like the polls out of the debate and since the convention are settling in at a 5 point Harris lead. I wish it were more. I wish it translated into a bigger lead but the ground game will matter too. Got to keep outworking them.
