Sure I had a soft spot for Pete Buttigieg – he’s just so darn good with words – but it was not meant to be this time around.
I had no idea about Tim Walz until streaming tonight’s rally in Philadelphia and wow. He’s also darn good with words, albeit in a very different way — both he and Pete are straightforward, but Tim is ‘aw shucks’ and fired up.
Tonight’s event turned out to be one heckuva introduction — he’s a veteran, coach, public school teacher, and can lay out issues in really clear terms. I didn’t appreciate the couch joke, but overall? I was kind of gobsmacked (in a good way) by the choice.
I’m looking forward to learning more about Tim Walz, Kamala Harris and policies their administration would put forth even though I’ve a solid handle on what each party platform is all about. The differences couldn’t be more stark.
I was really hoping for Pete too, but I’ve enjoyed learning about Tim. He actually reminds me of my dad.
