Trump-Vance miss in early attempts to define Waltz

Editor:

Trump-Vance probably have 3 or 4 days to  shape Tim Waltz’ first impression as Harris’s vice presidential choice.

Day 1. Trump placing blame on Waltz for Minnesota riots: Taped conversations between the two exist disproving what’s being said. Trump said he did “great job.” Strike one on DT.

Vance on timing of Waltz Military Discharge: Congressional campaign filing documents and Waltz retirement application both exist in the public realm. Waltz was on his way to retirement and on to Congress. Off by several months, strike two on Vance.

Both: Waltz a radical leftist claim. Coach’s record shows he’s the real populist. In Congress he was a Blue Dog Democrat. He passed radical things like food for kids in school. Passed  $300,000,000 increase in his state’s police spending. Increased VA programs and insisted on long -erm funding commitments. Both DT and JD whiffed for strike 3.

Regarding Vance’ s image:  Why is he stalking Harris from city to city.  Walking over to her plane for a photo op and fell flat on going out for a beer. Cringe worthy.

And for something bizarre to read check out realdonaldtrump on Truth Social of August 6 at 3:49 p.m. Mostly unintelligible, the rant includes a claim that Biden will crash the Dem. convention to get his “stolen” nomination back. It made the news around the world.

First day: Advantage Harris-Waltz, 0 for 3. Plus a “fell flat”  for Vance  and “whoa” (what’s going on here?) for Trump.
