I just watched the man ‘Do his Thing’ to the Rally in Philly last night….
OUTFUCKING STANDING!…
Harris made a brilliant choice…..
In his first day on the ticket, Walz appeared to give Democrats another jolt of energy.
His selection drew plaudits from elected officials along the ideological spectrum ranging from Sen. Joe Manchin III (I-W.Va.) to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). But it also gave rank-and-file Democrats another fresh face to get excited about on social media and the campaign trail, with his Midwestern folksiness and happy-warrior demeanor.
Olivia Julianna, a 21-year-old digital strategist and content creator from Houston, scored a front-row seat at the Philadelphia rally, and though Walz was not her first choice for running mate, she said she left “completely sold.”
“He just has this raw sense of humility and humanity that I feel like you don’t see from politicians very often,” said Julianna, who often posts about politics to her nearly 375,000 X followers. “He comes across as very authentic and genuine. And I think that kind of energy and authenticity will inspire hope” across the political spectrum.
It remains to be seen if the energy can shake up the race, where Harris and former president Donald Trump are still polling closely in battleground states.
Trump, during an appearance Wednesday on Fox News, sought to portray Walz as “a very, very liberal man” and “a shocking pick” — echoing lines that other Republicans have embraced in trying to discredit Harris’s selection….
Note….
The Harris/Walz campaign IS doing Rallies across the country….
Fixing the problem they HAD with Biden , who did NOT want to do campaign rallies ….
Fixing the Optics of a candidate who was NOT Happy getting out their and dueling against the opposition ….

In Eau Clair Wisconsin the crowds for Harris/Walz rally are so big people are parking literally a mile away down country roads and walking.
Harris/Walz is doing 2 events a day this week all in swing states.
Trump is holding one rally in Montana while Vance is following the Democratic ticket but getting a fraction of the crowds (roughly 200 compared to 10K plus at the Harris/Walz events.

Dumb Republican Stuff of the Day: Going after Tim Walz for having the gall to retire from the Atmy National Guard in
2005 after 24 years instead of going to fight Mr. Bush’s War (that they all say they are opposed to now) as a 42 year old father.

Interesting that you point the military aspect…..
Vance was a Corporal in the Marines on step up from a private
Walz was a Command Sergeant…..
Other Sergeant’s reported to him
One of the HIGHEST RANK as a Sergeant
Equal to a command level Commissioned Officer….
Walz was a Boss with large responsibilities
Vance a few guys in a platoon
NO COMPARISON in responsibility
NONE
CG says
We should honor everyone’s service in the military. Both VP candidates served. Neither saw combat.
Keith says
These are the same people who “Swift Boated” John Kerry ignoring his opponent’s reprehensible lack of service in the same war.
The National Guard was good enough then but not now.
Was at the gym today and the fat guy working out next to me was loudly proclaiming that Walz wanted boys to wear tampons in school.
Other people took the lead in telling him that he misunderstood, i am putting it politely. But i wonder why the subject seems to fascinate Republicans so?
Lady parts, you know the kind the Republican candidate brags about grabbing.

One owes a woman $85 Million for his actions….
And he’s a convicted Felon…….
That is having a bad Two Weeks……
It seems he’s not adjusting too well?
