I caught the Walz speech on Youtube once I got to work this morning. I just couldn't stay up late enough to watch it live (toddlers tire a person out). Anyways, when I saw Tim and his son, I had to fight back tears. That's raw, authentic, father & son love and it just hit me as a human being.

And here's the thing: what we saw between Tim and his son is something the Trumps- or his campaign- are NEVER going to be able to replicate. They don't have the humanity for it.
The thing that needs to be looked into is the new voting laws thawere adopted by "stop the steal" Republicans. In NC
requiring voters to provide a photo ID to vote in person, A separate law added a requirement that voters who cast their ballot by mail include a copy of their photo ID in the envelope. Yet another change approved last year says any mailed ballot received after Tuesday won’t be counted, eliminating the previous three-day grace period for ballots postmarked by the day of the election.
I've had to show a photo ID to vote for years. It's really not that big of a deal. Providing a copy by mail is stupid though AND that disproportionately affects elderly people... who are more likely to vote Republican. But showing up in person and providing a photo ID isn't a hill I think Dems should die on.
I don't have children. All 3 of my siblings have 2 kids each, but raising children was just not something that was for me. My parents also divorced when I was young and essentially had very little relationship with my father. All that to say that even *I* was having to fight back the tears. It was just real, raw love and respect that cannot be faked. I simply cannot imagine the Trump or Vance family expressing the same thing.
It's a lot to ask, but it's just within the realm of possibility that Tim Walz could be the reconciling figure we have been looking for since the Civil War. The kind of figure that Lincoln wanted to be but got shot dead. In fact, I don't even think Lincoln could have succeeded.

I watched this morning on Youtube because I am old and can’t make it past 9:30…..
When I saw Gus react to his Dad, I cried……
I had a great dad, and obviously so does Gus!
I'm on Gus Tears (no chance fighting them back) Day 2.
And Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles know it, even if the Trumps & JD don’t.
