When most looked at the verbal contest, they saw two men who were seeking the 2nd highest office in the land. What I saw were two leaders. Vance appeared to be man I would have no problem following him into way. Naturally, I am a little biased. I was in the Marines and he was a Marine officer. Even though Walz was a sergeant major, the man I saw did not appear to be a man I would want to follow anywhere.

Then too, Walz was a teacher. Is he really someone you would want teaching your kids? As for me, maybe it was a good thing he didn’t lead those men into war. Also, maybe it was a good thing he got out of teaching.

Moreover, I sensed he didn’t do much thinking during the debate. It was one platitude after the next. Even a parrot can memorize short phrases.
