You're going to regret it if thisB$^&_ takeslead
My god, she hasn’t gotten better with time.
The Walz military stuff is only going to effect people who already isn't voting for them. Peroid.
I think both parties are focusing on how well they can nik and pick at bad politics and policies making based on emotional politics. Who wins when personal indignations are all that matter this is for both parties "Days of our politics" get it together 😅😂😅
70% not knowing Walz means we can pick up 70% of people.
You commentators are so full of it you don't have a problem coming down on Democrats but do you come down on Republicans as hard know you do not you shouldn't even have your job if you came down equal would be one thing but you guys are so one-sided

Thank god they didn’t let chuck todd have a pen. He’d be clicking that thing until the cows came home.
Hey Chuck he didn’t say he just didn’t want to go. He filed paper work to retire in February 2005. He planned on running for Congress. His unit was not deployed until later that year. He served his time.
I love how Vance fabricates lies about Walz, and meanwhile, Vance DID NOT FIGHT and just was a combat correspondent – a public affairs officer. He didn't fight! (You have to wonder if he even reported the truth!)
I've never heard you once said JD Vance went to war and never carried a weapon
The TRUTH shall set you FREE
The TRUTH shall set you FREE
What about Trump and Vietnam war?
This seems like a News program. Is it?
Vance is way way open to being destroyed by Walz if they ever go face-to-face. What was the last constructive thing Vance did in the Senate? (Opposition to all proposals doesn't count as "constructive.") What a jerk.
Why do Republicans hate democracy?
Vance never used them either he was a writer in Bagdad not on the combat field.
Trump is going down in flames, and than he's going to prison and finally gets what he deserves
This Trump is racist and making and promoting racist comments: Trump is divide and coquette as the colonialist. He did it again.
Maybe Walz knew they were illegally using "dioxin" in Iraq.
Media, did Waltz spend 20 years in the military and isnt that a natural retirement from it? Media hasnt been our best friend.
There's an easy answer regarding comparison of military service between Walz and Vance – Offer up their DD-214. It will become real clear who is speaking with "stolen valor".
This was so funny. My whole family was in tears laughing so hard. 😂😂
tampon tim
tampon tim friggin weird
How can you defend ignoring & failing to report Vance & his 'posse of white men' literally stalking VP Harris at the airport, on FOOT???
#SHAMEonYouBOTH!!
Trump 2024!!
Why is Vance attacking his 24yrs of military service? Service is service.
EVERYONE WHO has EVER played a full season for a decent coach.. TAKE NOTE….TRUMP has never taken the discipline and pain and desire and folded it into a TEAM….THIS GUY IS A COACH….and he speaks well…
Shame on those lifetime career Republicans that work for the 1%. They have never represented middle class Americans. They have planted corrupt SCOTUS justices to control the government. Disgusting!
I thought Vance was pro family? Walz had children , I'm a military brat. He'd already served for years. My dad fought in the pacific, world War ll . He didn't go to nam or Korea. Not because he was unwilling, it was because he had children. If the military could recognize and prioritize the importance of family , why can't shady Vance?
The Harris Team is positive and moving forward 🎉
Im sure Joyful 🥰
36 Million when he was added to the ticket tells you we like Tim Walz. He is someone I felt like I have known. There are small town values you get that are just in you. He has those values. Love having a fresh face out there. Kristen lets not keep the ugly Trump/Vance garbage spinning. Better for the Dems to spend their time jazzing everyone up. We have all been craving positivity and joy. Would love to see the news media enjoy it for a while longer.
BONE SPURS
I hate Kamala 💩💩
WALZ was 47 with children.
WHY do you act like Trump is a normal candidate?
Don't tell me Walz's military service in NG is going to get SWIFT-boated?
Anyone checking on Vance's record?
