Everyone who's so impressed with Tim Walz can't explain the first ten minutes of the VP debate where he bent over backwards to normalize JD Vance and distinguish their Good Guys, Debatin' event from the Trump-Harris debate the week before.

Face to face, he demurred.

Did a talk show where guest before me was A.R. and they asked him in green room whether he’d “do the Carlton for us.” Politely demurred, kindly patiently firmly explained this wasn’t the day for it (5am). “No problem at all!” Moment he hit camera they said “do the Carlton!” Of course they did that.
