TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Aug. 7, 2024

Greetings! There’s a lot to like about Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as Kamala’s Veep choice.  However, I’m not completely sold on him because he doesn’t do enough to lock down Pennsylvania for the Democrats. And Walz (60) and Kamala (turning 60 in October) ain’t exactly the youth ticket I was hoping for.  The Minnesota governor has spunk as he exhibited in his first official campaign appearance in Philadelphia late yesterday afternoon (here’s the 18-minute video).  However, Josh Shapiro would have projected more youth and vitality that the ticket needs. And he’s geographically desirable..Those nasty right wingers keep raining on the Dem parade by reminding voters that Walz is younger than Brad Pitt…Trump is really howling at the moon on Truth Social.  In this post, he predicts that Biden might crash the DNC in Chicago later this month to take back the nomination and secure another chance to debate.  The ex-POTUS also has a new name for Kamala.  He calls her Kamabla (sorry, I don’t get the joke)… Not classy! Favored derogatory nickname for Governor Walz now being used by right wing media: Tampon Tim…Clever! A video just posted by the Daily Signal is headlined: “Harris Contracts Walzheimer’s”…Dept. of Surprises:  Foxnews.com has published an op-ed from former Rep. Charles Djou (R-HI) endorsing Gov. Walsh.  “More than ever, America needs a normal guy like Tim Walz to help lead our nation and bring us together,” he writes.  This is a rare instance of a right wing media outlet not trashing the selection of Walz to the Harris ticket…If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
