He’s only 6 months older than Harris.

I was shocked when I learned that. He looks much older because of the white hair.

He does look so much older though. I remember going to check when he was first floated and my jaw kinda dropped.
Glad she is at least throwing the progressives a bone here and listening to the youth and Arab American population.

Just this morning I was telling my wife that I didn't feel like I looked like "adults" my age on TV. But I realized that it's because I still kind of think of myself as young, but the mirror shows a lot of grey and my students definitely see me as an old dude.

I have to admit, even knowing very little about Walz a few weeks ago, it definitely seems like he was the most progressive of the names floated and I really enjoy his talking style. It seems far more like a guy next door kind of person than a politician and someone you can enjoy having a beer with. Plus I think this helps bring the party together in a way that Shapiro would not have done. And I'm a lot more interested in hearing him on the campaign trail than Harris. She's been much better off the teleprompter, but she's not as good off the cuff and Walz seems like he is great in that environment. Over all this fires me up a lot more than just defeating Trump (which is huge, but a negative not a positive reason).

Kamala is a terrible speaker.
I hate to say it, but that could for sure impact her likability / the movement behind her.

I think it might be part of why her speeches are more static than normal. Terrible speaker is better than rambling crazy racist friend of hannibal lector though.

Speaking of Hannibal Lector, I’ve heard him say this at least ten times and I’ll be damned if I can figure out what it is he’s trying to say.

There is a thought that he doesn't actually understand that migrants who apply for asylum aren't actually going to an insane asylum.

I mean I know he brings it up in immigration but he talks about how great Hannibal is.
I wouldn't be surprised if he has a real man crush on that dude

Very happy. This is like the first time in my life the Democrats have me truly hopeful putside the early moments of Obama's campaign before the hints that he was just another neoliberal started to shine through.

What the fuck with the Huckabee picture? The adults are grinning like the Joker and the kids look like they were told their dog died.

Arguably the best governor in the country and sort of a diet Bernie Sanders without the S word or the old age (he's 60).
He's a great speaker. Funny & authenitic. Hunts and is from a very small town orginally. But most importantly, got shit done.
He's also the orgin of the Republicans are Wierd campaign.
