I think what the last few days of name-calling say, whether this was the intended message or not, is that America can forget about the "dream ticket." Perhaps killing the dream could have been done more gracefully, but I doubt it could have been done more thoroughly than the back and forth this week did.
From this point forward, media outlets talking about a "dream ticket" are ignoring the underlying lack of respect and trust that these two people have for each other, and merely stroking their own ratings fantasies. There is absolutely nothing in the organization and style of these two candidates that suggests they would ever consider putting themselves in a dependent situation with people they don't fully trust.
