This.
People are more socially conservative than folks realize.
I’m NOT with Trump or aligning with any man who commits (and brags about) sexual assault, etc.
That being said, hate to say it but the “coastal elites” nickname is proving to be true.
The Dems don’t know how to appeal to Middle America anymore; it seems like they don’t realize that they HAVE to.
Plus the biggest elephant in the room is that the Dems need to push White men to the forefront again. A few ppl pointed this out a while back. These white folks are trying to vote for a White man. Walz is the exact type of man the need to be pushing, but they should’ve had a bench filled with candidates they could pull from.
Newsome would’ve given Trump a run for his money because he can run circles around him with rhetoric and communicating effectively.
Walz has all the characteristics you want from a well-rounded male candidate. He seems damn near perfect.
And there are more, but you have to put them on the scene and let the public get to know them. Build rapport by rolling them out on the main stage.
Walz should’ve spoken at a previous DNC convention, or something else, where folks would’ve be introduced to him before this last minute campaign.
What is good tho is now folks know Walz, and know the names of the other men who were vetted to be VP.
Gotta rebuild the bench.
