The real thing is so rare that the only time I ever saw it was on an early episode of West Wing when Leo McGarry asked a cynical Josh Lyman to travel up north to see some Governor speak. What he saw was the real thing. You instantly wanted him to become President and in TV land he did.
It is that precious thing, the real thing, that I finally saw tonight in politics when Tim Walz spoke.
There is no mistaking the real thing. If you see it, you know it. It is a thing no human can counterfeit.
So thrilled with finally seeing it in my life it dampened my eyes just as it did with his teary-eyed son. Something else you just cannot fake.
