Yes. He seems to have that ability through his whole career. He's a proven leader. He's really down to Earth.Walz nailed it.
He will be reaching out to Independents as well as registered Republicans who are sick of the MAGA poison -- the cultural heroin.That was everything you could want from an introduction of a VP to a rally. That was outstanding. I am just blown away.
In 2006, I went Walzing across southern Minnesota in support of a “nobody” named Tim Walz. At the time, he was running an upstart, underdog congressional campaign as a plain-spoken progressive populist in what was then considered a solid-red rural district. He didn’t have a chance against the lobbyist-funded, Bush-backed GOP incumbent.
Except… Tim won! He did it the new “old-fashioned” way: By being himself, appealing directly to working class families, unabashedly confronting corporate power, and rallying volunteers in a door-to-door grassroots campaign.
Some Minnesota friends asked me to do a bit of stumping with him, and it was both exciting and great fun to team up with such a genuine, down-home Democrat. I later learned that while he was a first-time candidate, he came prepared—he had honed his political organizing knowledge by going through Camp Wellstone.
That was the unique, highly-effective, how-to school for progressive candidates and activists, created by the family and staff of my friend Paul Wellstone

Walz is not a pig in a poke, but a proven progressive in his years as a lawmaker and governor. Dare we risk being enthusiastic, rallying to push the democratic values and political potential of the Harris-Walz ticket?
Yes.
"Progressive" = let's feed kids and treat women equallyWalz was a wise choice. Better than "a moderate." Jim Hightower explains:
Call me pathetic. I favor progress."Progressive" = let's feed kids and treat women equally
Pathetic. This country is a joke, sometimes.
