It's a shame because Walz seemed very authentic in how he laughed, cried, and got pissed. But because of the pot of piss that the VP job is he had to recede. His type of passion is what Ds need .

Bernie won the Michigan primary against Hillary in '16 and then Trump won the general. Sure, Hillary has her big negatives and detractors but the idea that the answer is always milquetoast centrism seems more of a desire from the pundits than the voters revealed preferences.

It also hides that people are willing to support ideas or leaders that may have contrary opinions if they are genuine/authentic. Trump's opinions on trade were nowhere to be found but an audience found him authentic for "telling it like it is"

If the administration determines this dude must go immediately because of "national security" and the "foreign policy of the US" then any adverse ruling from a judge is also inhibiting the national security and the interests and that he/she must go as well. Is that how this works?
