Both VP Harris and Gov. Walz are naturally gifted orators, but I like the crowd

just as much. Compare them to the crowd at cheato's "rallies". They are fully engaged, participating, starting chants on their own. They are great. So much ENERGY!

I've been reading that cheato's crowds have been losing interest and leaving early. So sad.

but touting the administration she is currently a part of and got the crowd exuberantly in her pocket again. That was a veteran move and her stump skills are vastly improved.

You can see her improving and getting more comfortable from day to day.

I mean, this is really new for her, she’s given six speeches in 4 days before tens of thousands of people. She’s never done that before. She’s getting a feel for the massive crowds and how they react. Sometimes you have to pause longer with a big crowd. She’s really coming into her own.

and what was so Governor Walz???? his first statement to the Harris team was,…….”I have never used a teleprompter”. WHAT????? The guy is perfect for this team. They are both naturals, no glitz, no glamour, no bull shit. They are who they are, and both are just like us…..ya know, Jane and John Doe, the most perfect way for what our country needs right now.

I can't believe he is able to do that without a teleprompter or notes!

They are one fine team.
