Democrats who urged Biden to exit race say Harris is exceeding expectations
Democrats who called on Biden to exit the presidential race soon after his debate with Trump feel gratified by her candidacy so far.
You're viewing a single thread.
Oh she did that for me practically on day one of announcing her candidacy.
She is obviously intelligent and has very good political ideas.
But something hit me recently, with George Bush it was said he was the kind of person people would like to have a beer with. Which was allegedly a big reason he won.
But I certainly see that with Kamala Harris much more. Kamala Harris seems like such a genuinely nice person, who can also have a bit of fun.
So Kamala if you find yourself in the neighborhood, feel free to pop in, my treat. 😀 🍺
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.
From your lips to Cthulhu’s ears.
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.
I just haven't seen any interviews with him yet
Let me help change that, with one of his 'hot takes'
I thoroughly enjoyed that, thank you.
Yes he looks like a really cool guy. 😎

Here's another one to add to your watch list.
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
Absolutely agree
otoh I like John Cleese's line. He said he wanted a candidate so brilliant that he, Cleese, would be afraid to sit at the same table, lest he be proven a complete dunce.
Unfortunately Cleese was pro-Brexit and is now attacking "woke-ism".
So what?
I like Ed Koch's take on different opinions. He said that if you liked him 51% of the time you should vote for hi. If you agreed with him 100% of the time you should see a psychiatrist.
Unfortunately, that’s a much higher bar than we’re aiming for this time.
I think it's more that today's American politicians reel it in.
Clinton was know as a policy wonk, and Obama would go from community organizing to the U. Chicago law school without missing a beat. Even George W. went to top schools.
Harris could go toe to toe with the best minds out there; she tailored her responses to Donnie's level.
Harris is definitely no dummy.
Neither was Biden, but he definitely lost some sharpness over the years.
