I need a reason not to like the guy. Canât get too fixated on one person.

Like sure, yeah, this is touching and all, but his daughter grew up to be a vegetarian.
At least sheâs not a vegan? Would be instantly disqualifying. No daughter of mine etc etc!
At least his daughter isnât VeganBooty
Boy, this brings me back to 2006. When political ads were recorded without visuals and at 0.75 speed. Simpler times.
Hard times make hard of hearing men
Hard of hearing men get healthcare to make good times
Good times make vegan daughter
Vegan daughter makes hard times???
Not bad. A few new items.
The year spent teaching in china in 1989 will.be fun when the weirdos try to paint him as a communist sleeper agent
Advising the gay-straight alliance in high school is going to be a âfunâ attack vector too. I donât think we should be disqualifying folks based on what Rs will say about them, but the interview process better make sure he has a good strategy to address the obvious critiques
He supervised the lunchroom (I guess thatâs the school cafeteria) for 20 years. Heâs had a lot of jobs. Seems to lack commitment.
Republicans will also surely bring up the 2020 protests after George Floydâs murder by police, tying Walz, who was governor at the time, to the aftermath.
Iâm curious what the vibes will be if they try to attack him for this. My sense is that even with some fallout violence, the Floyd protests are remembered as noble (with the exception of MAGA). Does anyone have details on what Walz will be tied to?
The main angle Iâve seen is that he should have mobilized the National Guard sooner to contain the protests. The attack ads will be footage of a police precinct burning intercut with a guardsman saying that they were ready to go, but the order didnât come soon enough
âyeah. Iâm a monster. I made gay kids safe in my schoolâ
Surprisingly effective defense when you
(Checks notes)
Do things that are a) popular and b) the right thing
âyeah. Iâm a monster. I didnât want to bring out the National Guard on my own citizensâ
Edit. Not quite as good. But still works.
Walz surging
I wish I could be a fly on the wall of these meetings.
âwhat do you consider your greatest strengths/weaknesses?â
âIf you were an animal, which would it be?â
âIf a train leaves Cincinnati going 50 mph and another leaves Chicago going 35 mph, when and where would they meet? Show your work.â
âMorocco and China got beef. Over, I donât know, trade routes or something. Solve it.â
Thatâs on top of the hotel! Thatâs about 15 stories in the air! Look at that, thatâs the Walz!
I donât know who itâs going to be, but Iâm fairly confident that this Shapiro thing isnât happening.
Surely she has to know that he has a lot of baggage that the others simply donât have. Itâs a completely unnecessary risk, and she hasnât made even a minor blunder since Biden dropped out.
