Many Trump supporters with small followings promoted the post as a bombshell revelation about the conduct of Vice President Kamala Harris’s running mate toward students when he was a teacher, one made credible because there was seemingly a named accuser who had attended a school where Walz taught.

Sheeple!!

Allegations or not, many of you on here were getting off on Tim Walz getting the "nomination" and thought he was a great choice.
Be honest, has your excitement about him died down substantially or are you just as enthusiastic about him?

Hang on, gotta go ask my kids if they’re still “enthusiastic” about the birthday presents they opened months ago.

Hang on! I was told my building was going to serve the residents breakfast today. I didn't give a shit when they told us about a week ago. Right now, I am hungry and "enthusiastic" and in a big hurry to go downstairs and eat.
I'll respond with a more thoughtful response later.

i don’t think he was the first choice of anyone on here, actually

he definitely wasn’t mine

he might’ve been my 4th choice, actually

On the heels of the damaging videotape on which Trump and former Access Hollywood host Billy Bush salivated over Days of Our Live actress Arianne Zucker, and joked about sexually assaulting women, came allegations that Trump entered the Miss Teen USA changing room where girls as young as 15 were in various states of undress.

Mariah Billado, Miss Teen Vermont 1997 told BuzzFeed, “I remember putting on my dress really quick because I was like, ‘Oh my god, there’s a man in here.'” Three other teenage contestants from the same year confirmed the story. The former pageant contestants discussed their memories of the incident after former Miss Arizona Tasha Dixon told Los Angeles’ CBS affiliate that Trump entered the Miss USA dressing room in 2001 when she was a contestant.

“He just came strolling right in,” Dixon said. “There was no second to put a robe on or any sort of clothing or anything. Some girls were topless. Others girls were naked. Our first introduction to him was when we were at the dress rehearsal and half-naked changing into our bikinis.”

Dixon went on to say that employees of the Miss Universe Organization encouraged the contestants to lavish Trump with attention when he came in. “To have the owner come waltzing in, when we’re naked, or half-naked, in a very physically vulnerable position and then to have the pressure of the people that worked for him telling us to go fawn all over him, go walk up to him, talk to him, get his attention…”

The Trump campaign did not offer a response to either story, but in a 2005 appearance on Howard Stern’s show, Trump bragged about doing exactly what the women describe. “I’ll go backstage before a show, and everyone’s getting dressed and ready and everything else,” he said.

His position as the pageant’s owner entitled him to that kind of access, Trump explained, seemingly aware that what he was doing made the women uncomfortable. “You know, no men are anywhere. And I’m allowed to go in because I’m the owner of the pageant. And therefore I’m inspecting it… Is everyone OK? You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. And you see these incredible-looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that,” he said.

In other words, YOUR enthusiasm has died down? Probably like a lot of other people. That's a bad thing. If you want Harris to win. Right?

I found this somewhat interesting.

It feels to me like you're mixing concepts a little bit here.

"Enthusiasm" to vote - which I'd certainly say can be evidenced by early voting figures - is not the same thing as "enthusiasm" arising from the surprise announcement of a VP candidate.

Right! I am indeed mixing concepts.
Kind of like your kids enthusiasm about the birthday presents they opened months ago was mixing concepts.
But....
In regards to correlation, I think the "enthusiasm" to vote, that we were being told about in August (per the link I provided), are being told about today, and will be told about on November 4th (the day before the election), will have been overstated. At least the enthusiasm to vote for Kamala Harris (and Tim Walz).
I know most on here hope I am wrong. I probably hope I'm wrong too.

I guess as a guy that hoped a kid got molested, you just have an eye for spotting them.

The thing that I like about Tim Walz is that he genuinely seems like a normal man.

I bet his nuts are like saddle bags.

i think what bothers me most about the lies, is that there’s zero accountability

there’re zero repercussion, apparently, for lying, or for disseminating lies…and then, once shown to be lies, there’s nothing but crickets

i’ve got more integrity in my pubes

Republicans have considered large voter turnouts to be kryptonite for them going back decades. If you don't believe me, you're kidding yourself.

But the whole doubt your fellow Americans and America's institutions, which Russian propaganda has promoted for decades, didn't really seem to become part of the Republican playbook until Putin poodle Trump arrived, enabled massively by social media. Talk about "luck"! It turns out, suppressing the vote, suppressing the will to care to vote, and destroying Americans' faith in their institutions by Republicans and their Russian helpers dovetail quite nicely. Yay!?

Gutter is a fine example of the fruits of their labor.
