    I know that’s a really silly metric to judge them by, but I think Walz is that x1000.

      Walz is the first vp candidate that I think actually brings significant number of voters to the table. Perhaps I’m biased because he’s been an amazing governor.

      Yes that’s what my wife (and many others) say, I just haven’t seen any interviews with him yet, I’ve just seen pictures of him on stage with Harris, and a video of him buying donuts.
      Everything I read about him is good though, so I believe you. I’ll take the chance and say he can come along too. 😋

        Watching Tim Walz get the news in the middle of a live post debate interview that Taylor Swift was endorsing Kamala & him was amazing.

        His reaction is so genuine and joyfull. You can tell he’s on the verge of happy tears.

        Since I know Tim Walz doesn’t drink, I’ll just invite him over for a friend’s & family cookout instead and feed him too much carne asada.

          I heard he was a great pick, and I’ve read about several of his policies, and he seems solid on the policies IMO.
          But now I’ve seen 3 videos with him, and I can see why he is so popular.

            I don’t if the story is true but I heard in the finale day before she made her decision she interviewed both Josh Shapiro and Tim, and when she did Josh want to know what the divisions of responsibilities were going to be and what he would be able to take charge of. And Tim walked in and opened with “So what do you want me to do?” and I think that says everything I need to know about him.

              He also specifically told Kamala not to pick him if it wouldn’t help her win. He was willing to forgo being VP if it was better for the country.

            He got the Democrats in MN to come together and pass so much progressive laws with a 1 seat majority is amazing.

          I saw that! Had never watched either candidate speak, I was voting for them no matter what, but I was stunned by the both of them.

          He really is very likeable, I look forward to see more of him as VP.

      I mean it is, but also Walz is easily the most positively I’ve ever felt about a politician
