I wonder how long they think they can get away with saying "X democrat will take away everyone's guns" without it ever actually even coming close to happening.

How are there even any guns left? I thought Obama was taking all of them. Weird.

I'm a big fan of most things Minnesota. Just spent 3 weeks there on vacation. Nothing against Texas (the state) but Minnesota just seems so much more normal and not bat-shit crazy when it comes to politics. 

I hope whatever wave this is also takes out some Texas GOP politicians. 

Texas is full of a bunch of angry shit heads.

I don't think any politician has ever completely owned the "who do you want to have a beer with" question quite like Walz. Especially compared to his counterpart. 

Vance would probably stick the beer bottle up his own ass. The extreme differences between these two guys is amazing. Walz has that rare  quality that he exudes credibility and you want to like him. It cant be taught, we all know a few people like that who can enter a room of strangers and immediately be everyone's friend. JD just seems like a grumpy fucking bitch.

It’s basically a Biden pick - no, he won’t suddenly flip a shit ton of Trump voters but it reassures many. Small inroads make a difference in some states. Dude can go speak just as easily to unions and VFW halls as he can suburban moms 

Also Biden was a Senator from Delaware whose task was to win PA and he did it 3 times, the idea that Walz can't do the same is naive.

It depends if the beer is domestic or not for Vance.

So damned excited to hear this news today. Walz to me represents something that, on the surface, seems lost in today's politics -- public service. That's not entirely true, of course, but it's felt that way. Walz embodies public service. A military vet, a teacher, a football coach, a congressman, a governor. There's something very American about his story.

And while it may be a cliche, he epitomizes everything about "the guy you want to have a beer with." Comfortable in his own skin and authentic. We need more of that. Good luck to MAGA trying to demonize that.

The juxtaposition between the Dem and Rep tickets could not be more stark. Now let's go win this thing!

Walz is the guy at the bar you want to sit near because he has great stories and anecdotes. Vance is the guy who keeps trying to talk to you and you do your best to quickly get away from him. 

I agree, but, Walz quit drinking decades ago, after getting a DUI

I love the MAGA reply in that thread: "Walz is a communist who supported the BLM riots."

It's perfect MAGA.  First, it's two clauses...both of which are quite simply, lies.  Lying -- it's the MAGA way.

Second, MAGA will call anyone who....does not worship at the altar of Trump....a communist.  That's it.  You don't even have to be left of Trump, or left of center, or left.  Just "not fully Trumpy" = "COMMUNIST!"  It's a pejorative that has lost most all of its meaning in modern American dialogue.  Yeah, yeah, we get it, the guy who messed up Trump's order at McDonald's is a communist, blah blah blah, everyone I don't like is a communist.

"Supported the BLM riots" What does that even mean?  State Troopers were promptly dispatched to the cities.  The National Guard wasn't dispatched right away, as....you don't send them in right away.  From what I understand, when requested by local authorities, they were sent in.  At most, you could be critical that his response as governor wasn't aggressive enough...but that's a long way from "supported" the unrest.  I don't see any quote from him saying "the people need to go out and wreck shit" or anything like that.

So, this is all they've got.  More lying histrionics.  Fuck 'em.  I'm sick of their shit.

My wife is from the panhandle.  Spent the first four years of her professional career in the Minneapolis area. She hated the weather, because it started to snow in October, and didn't fully melt until almost May.  And dreary every day in between.

Other than that, she liked her time there.

Due to my industry, I know a ton of people that have done time in Minny and they all say the exact same thing.  It would be on my retirement short list if not for the weather.

My sister lived in Minneapolis for several years and said in the winter, people would routinely show up for work 3-4 hours late because of the snow and it was just accepted as normal.

I've got family born and raised up there.  They love the winters (they grew up in it).  They do all the winter sports: snowmobiling, hunting, etc.  They get out in it and enjoy it.  When my daughter moved to Montreal, it was the same.  You just gotta embrace it.  She took up cross-country skiing, and loved winter.

This is the message.  This what we need to stick with and send out, over and over and over through November 5th, and beyond.  "America, aren't you just sick of all this shit?  Wouldn't you like to go with "normal, good, and decent" again?"

Some of the first blurbs:

"Great that Harris had instant rapport with Tim Walz, the “best chemistry” among all her VP contenders. But I think it’s also why *voters*—90% of whom have no clue who he is, and do not care about the slight center-left ideological nuances of running mates—will also love him." -- Tim Anderson, founder of SPY magazine.

...

"Our school didn’t have air conditioning, and he would just get all sweaty and really passionate about whatever he was talking about. And it was just, you know, his shirt would get disheveled, but the passion would transfer over to us."   Student recalls MN Gov/VP candidate Tim Walz's history class.

...

"It was a decision that wound up being more freighted and pressured than anyone expected at the outset. That she made this call — against what had emerged as pundit consensus and surely against a set of loud and important donors — is a highly encouraging sign."  Random columnist

How about a 3rd grader?

“And so here I was, trying to help her button her pants, and as I felt her belly, it was tight,” she continued. “And I went to my momma and said, ‘Momma, I think she’s pregnant.’ And my momma took her to the nurse’s office, come to find out, that little third grader was three months pregnant … With trying to dictate and regulate pregnancy in black and white the way that our governor chooses to do, that little girl has minimal options, if any at all, and we cannot put Iowans in those types of situations.”
