      He’s the dad/neighbor/friend/acquaintance/coworker we all wish we had. Just a good, hard working guy who is kind and courteous to everyone he meets.

      He’s definitely the one I’d call first if my car broke down on the side of the road at night.

    3. Is it surprising? The man *oozes* charisma and geniality. He’s also a decidedly Left-leaning, older man who partakes in traditionally masculine activities without any of the toxicity or aggressive posturing. Walz is a poster-boy for positive masculinity and the Right can’t handle it lol.

    4. He’s so likeable. How bout 8 years of Kamala, then 8 more of Walz.

    5. SexySammy_89 on

      Of course he is. He’s got wholesome, caring grandfather energy, while the other guys have “hide your furniture and teenage daughters” energy

      I like Tim Walz! I’m gonna like him even more when he destroys JD Vance in the debate tonight!

    7. His background of progressive policies probably helps too since time and time again surveys show that people like those policies if they don’t know which side is proposing them

      In almost 30 years of voting, Tim Walz will be the second ever Pres or VP candidate that I’m excited to vote for.

      For my whole life, the Democratic party has given me flawed candidates with whom I have some serious disagreements, and the GOP has found the worst person they could find.

      The only thing that polls better than Tim Walz is capitalism. Literally.

      The only things that poll worse than JD Vance are Socialism and Project 2025.

      There was an actual survey where people provided approval ratings on a whole bunch of stuff.

      We will see after tonight. A lot rides on this (for his likability not the race)

      It gives me great comfort that Walz is Harris’s backup. It fills me with terror that Vance is Trumps.

    12. Honestly, I’ve been amped to vote for him again (moved out of Minnesota in 2021 for a job) honestly haven’t been this excited to vote since turning 18 in 2008.

      JD Vance is the guy that can’t pull-start his mower. Tim Walz is the guy who comes over and starts it in one pull in front of JD Vance’s family.

      He’s a wholesome dad, who likes animals, can tell a joke, catch a walleye, clean your gutters, and set up a battery of M777 artillery to fire a few hundred 155mm shells downrange. What’s not to admire?

    15. The more I read about Walz the more I like him. I fidn’t grow up poor, buy I know several who did. Anyone on the side of free breakfast and lunch for kids is on the right side of things.

      One of my first kid epiphany moments was realizing my biggest concern was the bus taking the faster route and I’d get home in time to watch Tailspin and that one of my classmates biggest concerns was that he had no idea where his next meal was coming from.

      Its important to realize just how little some people have and how going a small bit out of the way yourself can have a huge impact.

      For me having no food in the house was a euphemism for there was nothing ready to eat or make quickly. In other households it was plug off the fridge no sense keeping air and half a gallon of water cold.

    16. Don’t have to read more, I agree, Harris is a close second. I like his personality a little.more. I believe they are as honest as people in politics can be.

    17. Past_Plantain6906 on

      His students were much more mature than MAGAts! But I am sure he has dealt with class clowns before!

    18. Red_Wing-GrimThug on

      JD Vance totally coming off as a prick during this debate.

    19. Traditional_Key_763 on

      bet trump wishes he picked Walz, not that hed have accepted

    20. SayVandalay on

      It’s puzzling , but great to see, that Vance attached himself to the sinking Trump ship. When they lose in November , Trump will sell more stop the steal overpriced watches and sneakers and Vance will wonder why his political career is over.

    21. Arubesh2048 on

      And sadly, it still will be a close election. On the one hand, we have 2 eminently qualified politicians with many years of experience and excellent leadership skills. On the other, we have an out of touch, corrupt, angry, orange fascist and a very creepy bootlicker. And somehow, too many Americans will find themselves either unable to decide, or decide that the fascist and the bootlicker are the better choice. All because 16 years ago, a black man had the *audacity* to become president, which caused around 1/3 of this country to lose what tiny bit of minds they had in the first place.

      “That is a damning non-answer”

      Good job, Tim. It’s important that you loose some of the niceties on Jan 6th.

    23. Outrageous-Book9799 on

      He is so relatable… Vance did well in the debate.. but secretly he wants to be a democrat and dress is drag sometimes. But he’s bought and a slave to his masters

    24. Javasndphotoclicks on

      You notice Vance didn’t answer the question on if trump lost the last election? An honest person would’ve gave you a truthful answer.

    25. I wouldn’t be surprised if this man was president one day, nor would I be opposed to it.

    26. VisibleGeneral6136 on

      If you think JD Vance was good you just appreciate a good speaker and don’t truly pay attention to the big picture.

    27. rolfraikou on

      I have a confession: I do really like Kamala, but I’m kinda more excited to be voting for them to have someone like Tim in that spot. He’s actually the legit everyday dude all the Trumpers kept trying to tell me that Trump (the golden hotel elite) was.
