Lawrence: The humanity gap between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was on display today

Donald Trump and JD Vance are both disconnected from other people, MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains. But after Vice President Harris and Governor Tim Walz spoke to high school students in Georgia, the “giant humanity difference" between the Democratic ticket and the Republican ticket is even more apparent.

This " childless cat lady" has her claws out !Voting for Harris/Walz 💙💙💙💙💙

[jenf]

Harris is so gracious and authentic, as is Walz. They don't need sycophants to pump up their egos, as they have a quiet confidence and humility that allows them to relate to people. The contrast between Harris/Walz and Trump/Vance couldn't be more stark. Who do you want running the country? I know who I'd pick ...

I can’t wait to vote for The Prosecutor and The Coach this Roevember!! 💙🇺🇸💙

The contrast is enormous in every conceivable category. Harris and Walz richly deserve to run away with this race, and I hope they do.

What a treasure you are, Lawrence! You couldn’t be more right!

I’ve been a teacher for 32 years and don’t have children. I teach RE to high schoolers and Childcare to adults in Community Education. I prefer to think of it as, I have devoted my life to my students 😅 How dare they judge people’s decisions

[amandajarboe]

Here I am, a woman of middle age and hearing the inspiration, hope and pride that Harris and Walz brought to high school band practice made me wonder who I might be today if someone, anyone had spoken to me that way in high school?

As a childless woman who spent my adult working life of 43 years as a teacher and then a librarian, I thank you.

[proffittm]

Thank you so much for showing what Kamala and Tim said to the high school students. You are so right that their humanity really shows!

Lawrence O'Donnell is the only newscaster I can listen too. Absolutely love Lawrence 💙🇺🇲😍

[girlcheck]

All three of my sons had the same kindergarten teacher. She had taught all over the world wherever her husband had been stationed in the military. She never had children for what reasons I do not know. But I do know she devoted her life to the teaching and care of hundreds of children 💞 📚

Well said, Lawrence.
Educators are a special group of people that wants to make a difference in the life of children. They wear a million roles and are still grossly underpaid.

I worked in the Burn Unit for 15 years..dedicated doctors, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and staff. Just imagine firefighters going in a burning structure…so brave. Yes, we served firefighters injured…what brave men! And the love and support from their peers❤. I remembered my son said…” these folks go in the fire!” God bless our fire fighters! I am a conservative and will vote for Harris team for democracy, my country, and the Constitution!

[brettfine]

Vote for decency and normalcy, not shady and crazy criminality.

Tim Walz is so authentic. That smile was so pure. He really enjoyed that band.

[chelseaclinton]

Lawrence O'Donnell is one of the few mainstream newscaster worth listening to. His insight is invaluable.
