Opposition strategy re: Walz and Shapiro, got me thinking

[Abolishinist]

6. Having left the Midwest many decades ago, my

familiarity with their residents now is what I see on the TV. My personal choice was Shapiro, but after watching Walz even prior to being selected, I had this sense that he will have a certain appeal to at least some of them.

The reason? Again, not based on anything formal, but I believe 'they' are completely turned off by the 'intellectual' class. A string of polysyllabic words strung together over a dozen sentences without pause is too much for them. Whereas I would enjoy watching Christopher Hitchens debate Dinesh D'Souza over the existence of doG, they'd rather watch one of those sports arena 'competitions' where jumbo trucks with huge tires are trekking around in the mud.

So yeah, Walz just might appeal to enough of them to make a difference.
