That's good dad shit right there. Just in case the kids didn't get the joke.

CNN: Walz confessed he’s never used a teleprompter. He was practicing backstage 

[Hank Kingsley 21767]

Commentator on CNN just said that Walz admitted before the speech that he had never used a teleprompter before.

That needs to and should resonate with people

Everything about that rally was perfect except for one thing: I really wish one of them would've given Biden a shout-out. His graceful decision to step aside deserves our gratitude.

His Secret Service code name better be Coach.

The convention will be all about honoring Joe Biden. Make no mistake.

It’s already been done a ton and there’s plenty of more time to do it more. This was the time for the two of them to shine as a team and focus on a renewed energy and sense of hope for the future.

I thought they were going there a few times. Specifically when mentioning violent crime was up under Trump I thought he was going to contrast it with the Biden and Harris administration then work a line about Biden and let the crowd applaud. 

But instead he teed up the line about not even counting the crimes Trump committed so that's another reason he's better at politics than I am.

Politics can be a bitch. His polling has been terrible the last 2 years (as much as most of us think he’s kicked mega ass). 
 

“Not going back” is a 💯 forward looking message.

This. It was a Harris-Walz rollout 

[Hank Kingsley 21767]

No doubt that "mind your own damn business" needs to be repeated over and over in this campaign.

The body language when he slides in "Ya see what I did there?"  You get that wrong, the whole bit falls apart.  You get just the right amount of mustard on it, it goes in the Presidential Archives.  Unlike his hot dish, that was just the right amount of mustard governor.  Well done.

I’m ready to run through a goddamned wall for Coach. Let’s fucking go.

[Js1 87177]

Very interesting from Jamie Gangel that Shapiro leaned very much into his ambition during his interview and a “2 for the price of 1” type of deal

Not because he’s Jewish - he doesn’t sound like a good governing partner. He wanted to be co-POTUS

I can see that. But they also had to give tribute to Josh Shapiro who couldn’t have been more gracious and supportive. He was 100% on board and if you missed his opening speech then you missed out. I’m okay with it because Biden is going to get his big moment at the convention. That’s going to be huge. And historic.

Anybody have connections at the Fathead wall decal company? Cause imma need a life-size Tim Walz fathead that I  can fist bump on the way out the door every day like its the NotreDame "Play Like a  Champion" sign. That mofo aint playing around. Donnie and JD want none of that f'n smoke. none of it.

Nearly every person in America can relate to "Coach".

For as obvious as it was that Pete got under Klobuchar's skin (lol), it's just as obvious how much she loves Tim Walz.

He’s speaking on night one. They’ll take credit for his wins but they are running on a forward looking platform. I doubt you’ll hear too much about him the rest of the DNC. 

[Chuckie Finster 23040]

I was vocal in my support for Shapiro, but, man, Walz really is the perfect compliment to Kamala. Indescribably excited for this duo.

MSNBC talking about how Walz sort of shrinks Trump down to “just a weird fucking dude with this friend who wants to ban birth control” and sort of erases the fear and him being “powerful”

This.  A patriot realizes that what's important is getting the ball across the goal line to get America the win.  If he sees that he can't get it there himself, he hands it off to EARL MOTHERFUCKING CAMPBELL and  1) watches Earl wreck shop and score 6 points, b) watches the crowd goes nuts for Earl the motherfucking TYLER ROSE, and c) smiles like hell, because his decision to hand the ball off to a HOF RB is what gave the team the win.

[Ghost of LL 15698]

As much as we are fan-girling over Tim Walz right now, let's not lose sight of what Kamala Harris just did.  She picked a running mate who can easily be seen as upstaging her.  And that's tough for any politician--Donald Trump could never do it.  A lot of people have alleged that was part of what was behind Bush's choice of Cheney rather than McCain.  And I imagine that has to be particularly tough for a candidate who didn't go through the primary process and is herself still introducing herself to the voters.

But she put her ego to the side and made the best pick for the campaign and for the country.

Yeah, fellas--we got a winner on our hands.

[jimmyjazz 47138]

I can't get over how quickly the script has flipped.  The doom of a month ago has lifted and now there is optimism and yes, "joy".  The gloves are off, but with humor.  The Democratic ticket is crushing it.

Think about the transformation of political language.  8 years ago it was considered the height of rudeness when Hillary Clinton (correctly) identified a subset of the Republican base as "deplorables".  For some reason, she tried to walk it back.  In the meantime, and for the next 8 years, Donald Trump behaved like a crack-addled orangutan with anger management issues, insulting anyone and everyone who he felt wasn't in his corner, often turning on those who were.  The right never blinked.  They laughed.

And now a simple and honest characterization of Republicans as "weirdos" has broken their minds, and they have no retort.  And Coach Walz is just hammering that message home, while Kamala Harris barely suppresses her laughter just off his right shoulder.

This is the most relief and hope I've felt since 2008.

[Hank Kingsley 21767]

Watching the commentators on MSNBC have the light bulb moment that Walz "shrinks" Trump and MAGA with his rhetoric is exactly why he needed to be VP. Coach was the spark to completely change the mindset, and obviously a ton of credit to Kamala for doing the same and jumping quickly on a winning strategy. 

With Walz on the ticket, the consistency of this messaging will never waiver.

Kamala is feeling it like whoever the Grateful Dead guitar player is that had a 20 minute solo at Altamont in 1969.

It's the smart move. She knows what misogyny will and won't accept from her. She doesn't have to be the attack dog.

Switched over to FOX seconds ago and caught Pee Wee German bleeding from the eyes and squealing like a pig about how dangerous  presumptive VP Walz is. That guy just looks crazy. Geez.

[Gil Bang 26231]

Walz made the comment about Harris doing public service with "joy".  He's right.  Trump's an angry old asshole.  Have you ever seen him laugh?  Vance is an angry not-so-old asshole.  

Make fun of "laughin' Kamala" all you want.  I want somebody that has some joy in their life.  We all have a friend or relative that's a miserable prick, and they're just a beating to be around.  Give me somebody that's quick with a laugh every time.
