Seems like a good choice from where I am (which is, granted, the other side of the ocean). Republicans want to depict Democrats as dangerous extremists, but Walz comes across as a friendly dad, so that just won't stick. No one will care about his policy record, they'll just sound weird talking about that stuff.

His radical agenda has been providing students with free school lunches, codifying the decades-long right to abortions, and legalizing weed. Obviously the Right disagrees with some of those, but their objections are, as we have said, "weird".
