Could also be that she’s looking for a chance to say “I’m speaking” again.

I think the commentor is setting up a false problem.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/08/15/politics/tim-walz-2006-campaign-falsely-described-dwi-kfile/index.html

"According to court and police records connected to the incident, Walz admitted in court that he had been drinking when he was pulled over for driving 96 mph in a 55 mph zone in Nebraska. Walz was then transported by a state trooper to a local hospital for a blood test, showing he had a blood alcohol level of .128

[…] in 2006, his campaign repeatedly told the press that he had not been drinking that night, claiming that his failed field sobriety test was due to a misunderstanding related to hearing loss from his time in the National Guard. The campaign also claimed that Walz was allowed to drive himself to jail that night."

I don’t think this is the smear that Republicans are hoping for.

I truly hope not. But they’re grasping at straws, they’ll try and use anything they can get.

I dunno, these debates scare me. Harris/Walz is surging right now, and Trump/Vance is tanking: this gives Trump/Vance a chance to inject their brand of FUD by throwing shit against the wall and seeing if anything sticks.

For example, I suspect Vance is going to try and nail Walz with Walz’s 1995 DUI. That’ll be a hard one for him to talk his way out of, it’s ugly and then later his campaign lied about it.

Cynical me thinks they did this exactly because there’s a pretty good chance Trump will be re-elected in the near future, and they’re a-ok with Trump squeezing social media companies. Don’t want to prematurely take away King Trump’s power!

Hahahhahahahhahah. Good one.

Only 117 votes total?

If the GOP wants, they can swoop in and pay a small number of people to vote her to the top. Mind you, I don’t know that the GOP actually wants her to continue on the national stage?

I'm not saying I believe this report could come true, but… it claims that RFK Jr could siphon 1/3 Dem votes from Biden:

While I really really want this to happen (breaking up all Trump's businesses), can he yet again stall for years by appealing this all the way up to the Supreme Court.

From now on, I’m calling this a Mitch Glitch.
