It's only been three days since a gunman came within an inch or so of assassinating former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally while killing an attendee and wounding two others. But amazingly, the chattering classes are quickly moving on to other things.
As of Tuesday morning, the assassination attempt is now just one major story among several, even at conservative outlets. It's quickly being superseded in the discourse by Trump's veep pick, the kickoff of the Republican National Convention, another terrible Joe Biden interview performance, and the Morning Joe drama over at MSNBC.
