MODERATORS
She's also the nominee with all the DNC money and backing. She will have the best consultants, advisors, resources, etc, and she strikes me as the sort of person who listens to constructive feedback. In the primary, she was working against a lot of the best people in the Democratic party. She now has everyone behind her pushing forward, which is entirely different from trying to pull out ahead of a pack.
In the primary, she was on stage with Biden and Bernie and Warren and Klobuchar and Buttigieg and Yang and Beto and Booker and Castro and Gabbard and at least three other people nobody remembers. Some of those people are better speakers, some are better debaters, some have better records, some are better leaders, some have better ideas, and almost all of them are not entirely batshit insane.
She now only has to debate Donald Trump. She is a better speaker, better debater, better leader, has a better record, has better ideas, and will be the only candidate on stage who isn't entirely batshit insane. She will also be the only candidate on stage that isn't a racist. The only one who isn't a convicted felon. The only one who isn't a rapist. The only candidate who didn't incite an assault on the Capitol building to stop an election. The only candidate who isn't misogynist. The only candidate who hasn't sold state secrets to an enemy government. The only candidate who hasn't committed a felony at Arlington National Cemetery.
Plus she likes dogs.
I would say her general demeanor, her presentation style, if you compare her to 2020, she has clearly gotten better at speaking and energizing a crowd. She seems more polished, more self-aware. I don't know if she was leaning towards Shapiro, but if rumors are to be believed, she listened to feedback from progressives and chose Walz. Plus, y'know, she's a rational adult who isn't a malignant narcissist or raging egomaniac.
