Is it me, or is this a magical convention? There is so much joy and hopefulness. People are smiling, laughing, and caring.

I like this version of the USA. We are facing the issues with seriousness but allowing the hope to shine like the sun through windows.

Then there is this:



Gus, thank you!! We love you.

I made the mistake of reading some of the comments on Amy Klobuchar's post.

These people are toxic - spewing nastiness about Gus and calling Coach Tim weak for crying.

Attacking a teenager - what a bunch of scumbags

Good morning, bloggers!!!

If the Democrats can win in November, this convention will be remembered as a gamechanger. The energy is contagious and I think that Walz can help Harris make a case to working-class voters in the Midwest and beyond.

Gus and Tim Walz share a father-son moment that melts hearts of people watching the DNC

Gus also made a splash in 2019, when it was revealed that he held his father to a very personal campaign promise.

"I think it was March of '17, and Gus said he'd always wanted a dog," Walz told The Minnesota Star Tribune. "And I said, 'Well, Gus, if we win that governor's race, we'll get a dog.' "

His son didn't mention that conversation again — until Walz won, more than a year later. At the time, Gus was 12 years old.

As the family watched results coming in on election night, Walz recalled in 2019, "It came on TV that they called the race and Gus immediately screamed, 'Oh, now I get a puppy!' "
