I will say that Twitter is currently proving Scott Adams correct that they were two alternate versions of reality. The Republicans are acting like the Walz pick means doom for the Democrats, while the Democrats are acting like it's a home run.

To me it's the Republicans who are sounding unhinged as Walz is a perfectly reasonable midwest Democratic governor. None of the spaghetti that is being thrown against him is sticking to the wall. All the talk of stolen valor is falling flat. Having said that, I don't think anyone will vote for the Democratic ticket because of Walz, but at least he isn't repelling voters like JD Vance is. It isn't an overstatement to say that Trump botched this pick, but since they thought they were running against Joe Biden it didn't much matter. The last-minute switch really seems to have thrown Trump for a loop.

If this October Surprise works for the Democrats, it's going to call into question the entire primary process. Maybe the smoke-filled rooms were the best way after all.

Unless you were planning to vote for the Democratic ticket or were undecided, your opinion literally does not count. Any complaints coming from the right are merely concern trolling and should be disregarded as such.

This comment applies better to "....but at least he isn't repelling voters like JD Vance is." And Waltz is physically repellent and behaves like a dork.

*Mostly* perfectly reasonable.

*Mostly*? Not hardly.

It was a reference to the "mostly peaceful protests".

OK, got it. I guess the quote marks could have cued me, though they didn't.

What's with all these accounts with no history suddenly popping up to tell us how well Harris is doing?

I promise you I have more posts here than you do. In addition, I have been posting under this handle at Steve's other blog since he went over there 10 years ago. Stop deflecting; you're embarrassing yourself.
