Fred Friedman on Tim Walz – "Tim Walz is a strong campaigner and a long time beloved high school teacher and coach and soldier. He is sympathetic to the underprivileged and underrepresented. He is not in it for money or fame or power. He does not belong to multiple country clubs. He does not mock the poor or the disabled nor was he given an Ivy League education and then brag about how much harder he worked than everyone else. He does not brag about serving his country and then criticizes others' service. Favor or question his positions, he is an honorable person."
