Sorry, I'm a little behind live time on this speech, and forgive my language, but...

[Grown2Hate]

FUCKING FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't BELIEVE how pumped up I am. I'm CHEERING in my living room. WHAT A TICKET!!!

Loved the WHOLE speech by Walz (by all, really), but this part had me ROLLING: "I for one can't wait to debate him (Vance). You know, if he can get off the couch to show up."

I am FIRED UP AND READY TO GO!!!

91 Days! WE'LL SLEEP WHEN WE'RE DEAD!

OK, just had to get that out, friends...

[LearnedHand]

1. Righteous!

Well said!

[Gaytano70]

2. "Crime was UP under D___ T, and that's not even counting the crimes HE committed!"

Serious BURN.

[CincyDem]

5. Coach Walz has the wit and manner that comes from facing a new group of HS kids every year for 20 years...

…reminds me of my dad, a 30+ year teacher.

You can’t earn the respect in the class room, and certainly not as a football coach, if you can’t roll with it and give as good as you get while at the same time leading the room/team.

[NJCher]

24. I heard him say

it was his students who asked him to run!

The students saw something in him that we are all now seeing.

[mysteryowl]

29. Love this! The kids knew how special he was/is!

“We in Mankato [Minnesota] knew he was a good guy, because our kids told us.”

[Sky Jewels]

3. "Mind your own damn business!"

[Lonestarblue]

12. That's what I love!

This team s fantastic!

[Grown2Hate]

14. Another PERFECT line and perfect breakdown of the issue, easily digestible for the masses.

What a communicator!

[kristndem]

4. Doing the Harris Walz!

[Bumbles]

11. I love that!

[calimary]

18. Welcome to DU, Bumbles!

Yeah, I love it, too. Sure works for me!

[Bumbles]

33. Thank you, Calimary.

I was here as Pippinesq some time ago and am back as Bumbles, in honor of my two newish cats, Beans and Bosco. Single cat lady says, "Watch out, magats. We're on the prowl."

[calimary]

35. Well, I'm glad you're back!

And Yes, we Cat Ladies ARE on the prowl!

[MLAA]

30. Welcome!

[Bumbles]

34. Thank you, MLAA.

It's good to be here.

17. Trump is gonna be begging for lawyers, guns and money from Havana, too!

[DinahMoeHum]

19. ". . .I'm a desperate man. . ."

". . .Send lawyers, guns and money,
The shit has hit the fan. . ."

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

21. He'll be hiding in Honduras before February! He played at Juanitas in Little Rock half a lifetime ago seems like ...

He hooked up with Sweet, Sweet Connie and while occupied, someone lifted some stuff out of his van.

[Brainfodder]

7. HELL FUCKING YEAH! Helping the high bp fer sure here.

[Emile]

8. 91 days left we'll rest when we're dead!

[somaticexperiencing]

9. That man is fuuuunnnnyyy, but I mean with a purpose!

[Grown2Hate]

10. Right? I think he's the freest speaker I've ever seen. It's authentic, not like a written speech,

if that makes sense. Love the dude (and have only known he's existed for like 2 weeks, haha).

[NJCher]

25. public speaking teacher here

this is what we strive for in public speaking. Most people can't do it. He speaks straight from the heart.

Notice next time you watch him, note how one of his nonverbal gestures is putting his hand on his heart. That's because he really is speaking straight from the heart.

[proud patriot]

13. Whose House ? Our House !

I feel the same https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219295519

[Grown2Hate]

15. LOVE IT!!! :)

[et tu]

23. yes!!!!!! nt

[Attilatheblond]

16. This evening, on MSNBC, it was SO good to see David Hogg look so happy and hopeful

When he said he hasn't been this happy in years, well, somebody must've been cutting onions.

[Grown2Hate]

20. I'm not trying to shamelessly kick this,

but I don't think I've EVER gotten 100 recs on a post! Thank you all so much. DU gets me through some of the darkest (political) times, and feels like a family.

I'm just happy in general, and hopeful, and JOYFUL, and DU feels like a giant group hug right now.

Let's celebrate tonight, and WORK tomorrow. Love you guys!

[rainy]

22. Change has gloriously arrived! What a trip!🤩

[NJCher]

27. the two of them

are such winners. They are winners independently and they are super-winners as a presidential-vp team.

[Blue Owl]

26. Goddamn

Who knew 3 weeks ago what we were in store for…….

WOW!!!!

HARRIS/WALZ 2024!!! HARRIS/WALZ 2024!!! HARRIS/WALZ 2024!!! HARRIS/WALZ 2024!!! HARRIS/WALZ 2024!!! HARRIS/WALZ 2024!!! HARRIS/WALZ 2024!!!

[Dem2theMax]

28. As I watched, what I thought was 'THIS is the Dream Team!'

Tim Walz will go where Kamala won't. And uses some of the language you know she won't use in public. He is so genuine. He had me laughing my head off!
I was standing in my kitchen, clapping and yelling!
Neighbors must have wondered what was going on.

They are definitely The Dream Team.
Move over Olympic basketball players, somebody else is taking over your name.



They sure got some money out of me today. After donating, I had to run to the Kamala Harris merchandise shop. And boy did I shop!

[hydrolastic]

31. I felt the same way!

In my house though I have to keep my self contained. My wife was so traumatized from 2016. That about year three of the Trump term she shut off the TV won't allow any of Trump in. She doesn't want to know anything about trump or even politics at all. Even if its good she will just say "remember 2016" not wanting to be a bummer here but its like Trump invited himself into my house and never left.

[Dem2theMax]

32. I do understand your wife's feelings.

There have been many times where I have had to step away. My blood pressure alone couldn't take it anymore.

To be able to feel hope and joy again -- I can tell you know exactly what I mean.

Jump around on DU to celebrate!
