Both recognized they had a problem. Bush continued drinking until age 40 when he realized he had a problem. He has not had alcohol since (nearly 40 years). Walz stopped drinking immediately after his DUI and has not had alcohol since. Whether or not either is still an alcoholic, both have recognized they had a problem and stopped drinking. And for both, it has been over 30 years since they last imbibed alcohol. |
Evidence? |
I think we could likely interview four members of Trump's own family who hates him and thinks he's a horrible leader |
John, McCain's son came out and said he's leaving the GOP and is endorsing Harris |
Both are self reported as not having had drinks since their DUI's. No one has come out to claim that either has been seen drinking in the last 30+ years. You can bet with the hyper-focus on the issue in both of their election campaigns, that someone would have come out if they had been caught drinking or in less than full control of their faculties. No one has come out for either of them. In Walz case, it has been an issue for 18 years through multiple campaigns for Congress and two elections for Governor. And not as a candidate for VPOTUS. So, it is unlikely that anyone has a story out there that hasn't already told it.

Here's the Republican VP candidate once again:

He’s a former volunteer assistant football coach, so he’s good at warming up the crowd, but there’s not much beyond that. He often has a hangdog pained expression when listening to Harris. |
And it's still a better expression than that eyelinered, vacant look that JD(or whatever he's calling himself today) has. |
Seriously? I don't care whether or not Walz has been a teetotaler since his DUI (which was reduced to a lesser charge, plus I'm fairly certain that at the time Nebraska's BAC limit, like many states at the time, would have still been .15, putting him under the legal limit). But by now we would have heard about any alcohol-related bad conduct. George Bush was open about his past alcohol AND drug (cocaine) use, and there were published accounts of his father trying to step in (and his problems continued beyond his DUI at age 30). |
Like the best of us, he was not always perfect but takes responsibility and learns from his mistakes and vows to do better. Like the worst of us, Trump never takes responsibility for anything he's ever done wrong. It's always other people's fault. He never learns or becomes better. Just worse and worse and worse. |
Walz takes responsibility? You must have missed his interview where he was given multiple opportunities to correct his lies and he completely avoided it. |
So if you think that Walz' Nebraska relatives are a problem for him, then you must agree that Trump's family is a problem for him.
Mary Trump who writes books about how terrible Trump is and how he cheated his family. Donald Trump refused to pay for medical treatment for his brother's grandson and cut his own brother's family off. Melania Trump, his current wife, hates him and wants Harris to win the election. She refuses to move back to the White House or perform and first lady duties if he is elected. Son Barron, wife Melania and in-laws have such disdain that they don't always speak in English when he is around but will frequently speak in Slovenian and he hates that he can't understand what they are saying. |
First of all, he didn't lie. Second of all, Republicans supporting the dude claiming that liberal states are doing post-birth abortions have no ground to stand on challenging anything on the grounds of truth. And, finally, way to miss the point. He stopped drinking, you doofus. |
Wait, so people in the same family can have different political opinions? NO WAY. |
