1. She’s not stupid and is smart enough. But like any former ag, ambition and force are her defining characteristics.
2. It’s silly to try to deny that when left to ad lib, she lurches into combativeness and word salad. Even her own handlers recognize this.

4. Make no mistake, walz is there to hold her hand to prevent 1-3. Just like Rick Perry suddenly wearing glasses in his first debate. If I were her handler I’d have him do that over the next two months until it becomes unsustainable.
