Tim Walz is the Spitfire of vp candidates. He can shoot

[applegrove]

at his opponents and then take off and turn in on rounded wings into an new analogy. They can't follow his turn at that angle. They can't get him in their sights. Then he does it again. Picking him was one of the first decisions Kamala Harris made as a Presidential candidate. She doesn't seem to make a wrong move. And she herself is nimble in poking fun at Trump but never in a crass or unprofessional way: for instance she never says "lock him up" about Trump, she says "we'll let the courts decide". We have all been covered in such Trump gooey smog in the last decade. It is like we can breath again. Thank you Biden. Thank you Kamala for telling us to take a deep breath and get ready to work. Thank you Tim. Thank you to all the Democratic workers and volunteers. Thank you to all the people who donate. Thank you to the Democratic voters.

1. He was definitely the best choice

out of the available candidates.

11. Not even close. I never heard of him until he was selected but man...

...he is nimble, fast on his feet and does it all through the best prism there is, straight up decency. When the issue is decency they, the Trump cultsts, are entirely out of their zone.

6. Mr. Walz has been a teacher and has deal with kids for some time, no different then dealing with

the press or the convicted felons campaign. The man doesn't get rattled by any question.

10. There was rare video of him before he was tapped to be Harris's VP

back in Minnesota, skewering conservatives. I was very impressed.

Walz is used to dealing with recalcitrant students, so I con't think conservatives have ever been that big a challenge. I do think he enjoys letting them have it in relatively polite language, letting them know that high school was a long time ago and he's wise to all their shit now.

That's why Gov. Walz was at the top of my list. There weren't any bad candidates on the short list. He was just the best.
