Dear Democrats,

So, I’ve been in politics for two decades now, and during that time, one of the most common questions I hear after a debate is, “What did you think?” Now, we all know pundits love to focus on the superficial stuff—did anyone stutter? Was their tie too tight? Could they have smiled more?

Let me cut to the chase: Tim Walz won tonight. Not just on substance (the stuff that actually matters) but also on the superficial stuff that I don’t care about.

On the superficial side, Tim Walz came across like your friendly Midwestern dad who also coaches your kid’s football team. You know, the kind of guy who’d help you move a couch and then stick around for a beer. He’s a teacher, a coach, a guy who gets what real Americans are going through because, hey, he’s lived it.

Meanwhile, JD Vance? Well, he came off as that smug high school jock villain from every ‘80s teen movie. The one you’re rooting against because you know he’s about to steal someone’s lunch money. Let’s not forget, this is the same guy who once called Trump “America’s Hitler” and now… is basically his BFF. So yeah, we all know who’s peddling the snake oil here.

But here’s the thing: running for president isn’t a beauty pageant, and it’s not about who can “fake care” better. It’s about substance. And on that front, Tim Walz wiped the floor with JD Vance.

Let’s break it down:

On abortion, Tim Walz nailed it: healthcare and family planning decisions? Yeah, they belong at the doctor’s office or at your kitchen table. Not in the hands of politicians in DC.
On healthcare, Tim’s the only one making sense: more access, lower costs. Not dragging us back to the days when insurance companies could deny you coverage for having so much as a sniffle 10 years ago.
On the economy, Walz said what we’re all thinking: the ultra-rich need to start paying their fair share. It’s about time billionaires stop coasting on our tax dollars while we’re out here grinding every day.
On democracy, Tim Walz was crystal clear: elections matter, and so does respecting them. Unlike a certain someone (cough, cough JD Vance) who’d rather double down on trying to rewrite reality than face it.

Look, debates aren’t some abstract quiz show. There are right answers and wrong answers, especially when we’re talking about who’s going to lead our country for the next four years. Tonight, Tim Walz made it clear why Kamala Harris should be the next President of the United States.

Tim did his part, and now he needs us to do ours. Chip in a few bucks to help keep our voter outreach programs strong, because this election is too important to let JD “Snake Oil” Vance anywhere near the White House.
