He just seems like a very normal and kind person.
But Trump and Vance are clearly stumped about how to hit back.
Take an old story about Walz that started going viral on Wednesday.

Can you share how the newly elected Walz-Flanagan ticket handled that early crisis?
So that was interesting.
But he was amazing.
I was super freaked out.
Wed never dealt with it before.
Siobhan was a total trooper.
He said, Go to Target, and then FaceTime me from the aisle.
And so I did.
He had me show all the different shampoos and stuff.
He was like, This is the one that you get.
And then hes like, Once you get home, FaceTime me again.
So I FaceTimed him again from the bathroom, as Im picking nits out of my childs hair.
And he was amazing and coached me through the whole thing, and that is who Tim Walz is.
Its the kind of story that were hearing more and more about Walz over the years.
And the army of pro-Trump trolls who are trying to take him down just dont understand his appeal.
The other thing thats been going viral this week involving Walz is his interview withSubway Takeson TikTok.
Walz discusses how important he thinks good gutter maintenance is.
Its a common attack from retrograde assholes.
But normal people dont find it amusing.
At least they dont anymore.
The late-night comedians of the 1990s tore Monica Lewinsky to shreds with those kinds of jokes.
And thats probably why these assholes dont understand that theyre the weird ones.
