    Walz has a touch of Benjamin Franklin in him minus the love for the French prostitutes.

    Yeah, he prefers Dutch sex workers. Better working conditions due to legal protections.

    Kidding aside, I’m as skeptical and often critical of the Dem leadership as the next guy, if not more, and I’m super pumped for Walz!

    He is exactly the partner Harris needed to really dominate the narrative and unlike anyone on the presidential ticket since CARTER, he has a proven track record of progressive policy and of listening to and respecting the Left even when he disagrees.

    I wish he and Harris would swap places on the ticket, but who knows? Maybe he’s what’s going to help the Kama Chameleon settle on a coherent and progressive ideology and carry it out in policy and bully pulpit advocacy rather than just pretty speeches. Her VP pick is definitely a great start towards that goal!
