Walz was created in a lab for this specific political moment. He’s straight from central casting and it’s not hard to figure out why he beat out the other options. It’s actually ridiculous how many boxes he checks. He’s a dramatically upgraded version of '08 Biden basically.
I’m upset he’s too old to serve 8 years as VP and then be president probably. I suspect the publics tolerance for ancient presidential candidates may drop considerably after the 2020 and 2024 cycles… although a 100% with it Walz would be tough to beat in any election imaginable. I think he could run for Senate in a deep red state and win by 3% honestly.
If America was actually a meritocracy almost every politician would be a Walz variant just to be extremely clear.
If KH has 2 terms of roaring success across the board I somehow think we’ll find a way to nominate 68 yr old walz especially considering this party’s history…
Damn that was only 3 years ago. Every time you check a potential weakness on this guy it goes the other way. “What if his kid’s a liability? Oh she’s a red state social worker and a terrifying effective campaign surrogate…”
Grown. In. A. Lab.
I wanna be clear this guy absolutely waffle crushed an Astronaut and the sitting governor of the tipping point state. What a fucking animal. Amazing no notes.
Walz has been a positive boost across the board. Republicans are flailing to attack him and nothing is sticking. Given the excitement over him thus far I don’t even believe Shapiro’s boost within PA would exceed Walz’s general boost as it applies within PA.
In either case though, you won’t get to say itys because Harris+Walz are going to crush PA along with every other swing state.
The Trump campaign going broke in mid August is a fantastic storyline. Did they replace the writers recently? Somebody make sure Aaron Sorkin didn’t die.
I just want you all to know that from here on out I’ll be referring to JD by his drag name: Ashley Furniture. God fucking damn do I wish I had come up with that.
