  1. A snippet from the commentary:

    > “Thank you for bringing back the joy,” Walz said, to a thunderous reception. A simple line, but it brought the house down because of the plain-spoken truth Walz has swiftly become famous for. “Joy” was the word of the night. People in the stands practically vibrated with it. In the air was a visceral hope that this campaign would be the end of the long national nightmare that is Trump and the MAGA movement.
    >
    > The crowd was so exuberant that Harris and Walz could have done shadow puppets and the place would have erupted.

  2. You can basically copy/paste the next day’s headlines before the event even happens the way these outlets are covering the two sides lmao

  3. I like “reminiscent of the mood at a strip mall shot bar at 2:00 on Ladies Night”… funny writers over there!

  4. Man that was a good rally too. Night and day difference from anything we’ve seen since Obama.

  5. If anyone was unaware, JV Vance’s appearance took place at the ECW “Arena” in Philly. A former rundown bingo hall that in the 1990s was the home of Extreme Championship Wrestling. And he couldn’t even fill the place.

  6. The MAGA crowd is OBSESSED with rally sizes. I can’t WAIT for when these rallies are bigger than Trumps, and those MAGAts have to come face to face with the fact the Trump’s rallies are smaller than Kamala’s. Heads will explode.

  7. Wait is Vance just following the Harris campaign around? Harris & Walz are in Detroit today and Vance is holding some sort of event at a police station 30 miles away in Shelby Township…

  9. Let me see which ticket has more experience…

    Trump: president (failed), businessman (failed), Reality TV actor – Vance: congressman, marine, loves couches

    Harris-Walz: Vice president, Senator, Attorney general, District Attorney – Walz: Governor, Congressman, HS Teacher, State Champion Football Coach, Soldier, Farmer

  10. “There was one kind of diversity in this small but weirdly intense [vance] crowd. Every type of white man that gets a hasty “swipe left” on his dating profile was in attendance: ‘Roided out dudes with bad tribal tattoos. Older men radiating “bitter divorce” energy. Men with enormous beards that have never known the touch of a trimmer. Skinny fascists wearing expensive suits, despite the oppressive heat. Glowering loners staring at the two women under 40 like cats watching birds out a window.”

  11. My parents are vocal trump supporters.  I have noticed the last few weeks they have been quiet.

    I assume they are soon going to try and claim they never liked trump. 

  12. I wish I could’ve attended. That rally looks like it was a blast.

  13. I’m not sure you could craft a better opponent for Trump.

    Walz was enlisted in the Guard for 24 years, reaching the highest rank of Command Sergeant Major. He taught his students so well they predicted the Rwandan Genocide. He coached his football team to a state championship.

    Trump dodged the draft, ran a fake university, and ran an entire football *league* out of business.

  14. I’ve never seen a rally so full of hope and joy and at the same time be so brutally scathing of the opposition. They absolutely crushed it.
