The fact Harris’ campaign muzzled Walz when he could have been saying shit like this the whole time was a big fucking mistake. Christ, why wasn’t HE the god damn nominee?!

Walz WAS saying shit like this throughout the entire campaign and got plenty of press, or did you forget the whole "weird" thing? Front page of reddit couldn't get enough of his quips. If the campaign ever "muzzled" him, it was only after he bombed his debate performance and let Vance make him look like a blubbering idiot.

It was a crazy maneuver by J.D. Vance. He acted all fake nice and agreeable and Walz couldn’t cut through it. Now he is back to being rude and condescending so you can tell it was a one night play to throw him off his game.

Walz doesn’t have a debate team background, Vance does

Walz would likely do better in a debate against Trump, but it’s definitely a weak spot for him

He would be demolished by Trump, not because Trump is a good debater or says anything true or smart, because he doesn't. But the gish gallop/reverse gallop "skills" he spews on stage would have made it hard for Walz to finish a single sentence or argument.

Thing with Walz that’d work in his favor is his history as a public school teacher

He’s definitely dealt with a lot of idiot kids with stupid things to say; this would be his chance to actually speak his mind at one of these dumb assholes
