The idea that he can appeal to voters who don’t already support Ms. Harris seems far-fetched.
Sort of like Vance with Trump?

I only know a few teachers, but none of them own stocks or bonds. Did he never own real estate? Or did he sell his home after moving into the governors mansion.

Over $300,000 for his home. Sold when he moved. He owns none now.
And...I covered school districts in nine parishes. I had multiple clients that owned mutual funds, varying from target date funds, sector funds and index funds, among others.

Don't think Trump lied about his military service.
Walz did.

It still remains that master sergeant > cadet bone spur.

Remind me again who is “Captain Asthma”?
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/biden-draft-deferments-asthma/
Biden received five draft deferments on account of his studies, and after a physical exam in 1968, was disqualified from military service except in the event of a national emergency because of having asthma as a teenager. He never served in the military.
And this:
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/making-splash-joe-biden-returns-lifeguard-chair-n776951
As a teenager in the summer of 1962, former Vice President Joe Biden worked as a lifeguard at what was known as the Prices Run swimming pool in Wilmington, Delaware.
And this:
“As much as I lacked confidence in my ability to communicate verbally, I always had confidence in my athletic ability,” Biden wrote in his memoir, "Promises to Keep: On Life and Politics." “Sports were as natural to me as speaking was unnatural. And sports turned out to be my ticket to acceptance — and more. I wasn’t easily intimidated in a game, so even when I stuttered, I was always the kid who said, ‘Give me the ball.’”
Unfit for military duty, but fit enough to be a lifeguard and play football.

@LuFins-Dad said in It's Walz:
WALZ: "In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and their personal choices that they make. Even if we wouldn't make the same choice for ourselves, there's a golden rule: Mind your own damn business."
They ought to run a commercial with him saying that, then the audio of the snitch line…

Is that supposed to be unusual?
Can it not simply be that the military and the civilian football team/lifeguard employer used different criteria to qualify enlistees/players/lifeguards?
Not sure how big a “football school” Biden attended, is the typical high school/collegiate football training physically tougher than, say, military boot camp? Is the typical lifeguard training physically tougher than military boot camp?
I can see one arguing that “Captain Asthma” is just as bad as “Cadet Bone Spur,” but no worse. If someone has a coherent argument for why “Captain Asthma” is somehow worse than “Cadet Bone Spur,” I’d like to hear it.

I never said it was worse. I implied it's equivalent.
Yet, you never addressed the issue of Biden's deferment(s) until today, AFAIK.

I have no clue, but I would guess they're equivalent. @jolly would know more than I do.

Again, I don't know. But you have to be a good, strong swimmer, right? You have to be able to hold your breath, and swim while breathing. You have to be strong enough to pull someone out of the water. That's a tall order for someone whose asthma is bad enough to get them out of military service.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Asthma fucks you up when you swim or play football in all but the very lightest of cases.

I didn’t know if you were referring to Biden at the time, but I addressed “asthma” in the context of military deferment and playing football and working as a lifeguard.

So if you have asthma, you can play football, be a lifeguard but you're not fit for military service because of your health.
