12. I had a moment like this, too, with Tim Walz

I'll bet this had an impact on Kamala.

She and Tim probably have no idea how meaningful it is for us to see two competent, intelligent people with experience headed for the executive office. Especially people who really watch, like those of us here at DU.

My thought was that the woman was crying because it's such a relief to see a normal, compassionate human running for president.

No wonder other people were crying right along with her: it is a sick situation with our corrupt, money-hungry chickensh!#t media constantly playing clips of this effing idiot trump yammering out insults, degrading people, etc.

What's really awful is listening to the crowds cheering and clapping at the horrible things he says. It is so troubling to think there are that many people who think his cruelty is funny and cheer it on. I shudder when I hear it.

Now me--I had my moment, too, but it came with Tim Walz. It was when I was watching Tim speaking. I teach public speaking and I hadn't realized how much I missed a good, rousing public speaker who believes in the things he or she says. That's Tim: he believes in his heart what he says. It's really rare, though, to find it to the magnitude expressed by Tim.

It is such a relief to have these two.
