It was not some grand plan, it was a massive failure.

72. My enthusiasm was aimed at a second Biden/Harris administration

which you are telling me was doomed by the lack of enthusiasm you got from the debate. I am telling you right now that I haven't got that spark you -- and admittedly many other folks -- have gotten from bouncing our President. And you all seem convinced that Vice President Harris is now a shoo-in for the nomination, which the double-dealing I have seen from party leaders over the last few weeks leads me to have doubts about, further dampening (curbing?) my enthusiasm.

I guess I am saying that I am withholding enthusiasm until I see that I am not going to be further "disillusioned", a word I know bugs the hell out of another poster here, by party officials who say one thing in public, and do another behind closed doors.

And, by the way, it is also very early in the process to be talking about "retrospect", considering we have no idea how any of this is going to turn out.
