    They have the media bomb of “no incumbent” leading the headlines. This is one of the only media maneuvers that would change the conversation from “That Trump overcame assassination and adversity!” At this point a major shift was needed.

    The year and a half back log of memes against Biden that right wing contractors have saved up are now worthless. The right will have 3 months to make a cohesive media smear campaign (which they can do against the right candidate) but it will require lots of downtime as the high paid think tanks make astroturf.

      The fact that Republican troll farms have to now spend time coming up with new material puts a small smile on my face.

      They will move swiftly though, while the Democrats are used to being sluggish, so vigilance is in order.
