I know the GOP is trying to Swift Boat him and that's why all of this talk about Walz's military service; but to me that's honestly one of the less interesting parts of his resume. Coach, public school teacher, map enthusiast! These aren't normally things you see in the background of a guy who rose to become governor. It's refreshing. I don't think military service, or lack thereof, has really moved the needle for any Presidential campaign in 20 years or more.
It is the only thing the GOP has and it is at best, weak.

No, but showing that the oppositions "big arguments" against your candidate is still important. In this case, they went big on touting Vance's military background, but Harris campaign can now show that Walz's military background is much more comprehensive than Vance's. Vance served 4 years. Walz served 24 hears. And Walz retired honorable with full benefits. Just not at the highest level he served under, because he did not complete the requirements for the rank he held for the last few months of his military career. He retired to run for Congress. But the Trump campaign is trying to make a big deal out of it, when it isn't a big deal at all. It is important to show they have very little working against Walz, whereas Vance has a lot going against him.
Harris has shown that she's outraised Turmp. She's chosen a better running mate than Trump. She has better support than him.

Must be tough no longer being the younger, "change" candidate. And right now, the Democrats are just reveling in their lovefest for these two younger, history making members of the ticket. The joy, the fun, the happiness and wholesomeness! It's as if Obama campaigned against Trump. I don't think Trump's narcissism can handle this. I'd almost feel sorry for the old man. Almost.
Ketchup absolutely everywhere.

Hahahaha! Sure. Whatever you say.
+1 Kamala pulled in 12000+ in Eau Claire, WI. JD Vance spoke to about 100 today in WI. And Trump is sitting on his golden toilet somewhere phoning in rage interviews to his buddies at Fox News.
JD Vance's appearances are NOT rallies. They are press availabilities and an opportunity to hear from working Americans.....
"According to a person familiar with the planning for the trip, Vance’s events will be press availabilities where he will speak to the media, rather than campaign rallies. The events will also feature “everyday Americans” who have been impacted by the Biden administration’s policies.
On Wednesday, Vance will follow Harris to Detroit and Eau Claire, Wisconsin. On Thursday, Vance will travel to Raleigh, North Carolina."
https://www.politico.com/news/2024/08/05/jd-vance-campaign-schedule-00172605
So, when is Kamala going to have a press conference? With no teleprompter?
no one cares about watching JD Vance speak, so casting these as "media availabilities" is code for "no one wants to attend"
And it is shameful there are people in municipal law enforcement uniforms standing behind him. That is a total violation of the Hatch Act, but since the GOP doesn't care about law and order, it is no biggie.
