    I hate that the MAGAs will take this as a win, as they should.

    I like Walz, I wouldn’t mind him as president at all, but right now we need warriors who will stand up to MAGA, and if he doesn’t have it in him, then he needs to get out of the way, which is apparently what he’s doing. I can respect that. At least he’s not sticking around, and trying to talk the rest of us into backing down.

    At least some part of me hopes that perhaps this is a strategy, and he intends to fill out his term for governor, and then run for president. It would be like him to feel that it is irresponsible to claim to be governor, while he is spending 99% of his time campaigning for president.

    But I want to vote for a serious Democratic Warrior, and this event takes Walz off my list, at least for the time being.
