Someone on another Bulwark thread made the point that needs to be repeated. Normally when you have a problem in your community, you go to the media to get some attention, in the hopes that a politician will take up the cause and help do something about the issue. If you are really successful, you get one your Senators to take up the cause, because they are two of the most influential people in the country. I can see Tim Walz at the VP debate, making that very point. "If there were a problem in my state, I wouldn't be complaining to the media that no one is paying attention, I would be there to determine if there is a problem and if so, roll up my sleeves and figure out how best to address it. What is the point of you being a Senator from Ohio, if they can't count on you to help. But since you have already admitted that you made up the whole thing, I think we have our answer." Governor Walz is going to eviscerate JD Vance at the debate. Between the potential fact checking by CBS and the common sense practical responses from Walz, the debate could be almost as much fun as the Harris/Trump debate. (Edit: I just finished reading JVL's post today, apparently it was JVL himself that was making the case that JD Vance should be solving the crisis in Ohio. Not asking the Media to do it.)
