Harris selects Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as running mate, aiming to add Midwest muscle to ticket

[gatomontes99]

Well, now Harris is the "moderate" on the ticket.

Rumor is she wanted Shapiro but couldn't pick him because her base hates jews.

The guy playing soldier in the National Guard vs a Marine who was deployed to Iraq. Vance knows what a battlefield is like and Walz knows how hard it was to spend a weekend camping.

Nonsense. He was a reporter. No combat.

Right. So, what do you think he was doing, sipping champagne in a 5 star hotel and opining on the cost of war?

No, he was in a tent, in exceptional heat and every time he left the safe zones they established, he was in danger of falling victim to IEDs, child suicide bombers, snipers, ambushed, etc.

 I think that's a fumble for her.  Minnesota isn't really a swing state. The main goals of a vp running mate is to deliver a state that might otherwise be hard to win and to send a message to potential party supporters who might not have chosen you as leader. 

Vice Presidents in the past 20 years:

Kamala Harris (2021-24)- California NOT A SWING STATE

Mike Pence (2017-21)- Indiana NOT A SWING STATE

Joe Biden (2009-17)- Delaware NOT A SWING STATE

Dick Cheney (2001-09)- Wyoming NOT A SWING STATE

 

These states were all won easily by the President.

Walz served for 24 years. Oh, and one other thing, loser. We’re just getting started! 

The alt-right posters must be losing their minds at the prospect of Trump losing yet another election.

Walz is an outstanding choice.  He’s an everyday guy who’s championed and supported working class families his entire life.  He don’t build a bunch of luxury hotels or become an investment banker… he became a schoolteacher and athletic coach.  
 

The American voter is going to realize the truth: That a billionaire real estate developers and an investment banker are not the champions of the middle class… a school teacher is.  Walz isn’t a pretend hillbilly who went to Yale. He’s a person who’s proven that he genuinely cares about people.  

Walz is an excellent choice.

How isn't Vance a real hillbilly? He grew up dirt poor in Appalachia with a drug addicted mother, this wasn't some fake background. He is the very epitome of pulling yourself out of poverty and making something out of yourself and going to Yale doesn't make your upbringing any different.

Sure it does. He never learned to care about his home boys and like Trump ONLY cares about himself.

Even willing to abandon whatever sense of humanity he HAD, just to gain personal power.

No he isn't he is a far left liberal who screwed up and did nothing during the George Floyd riots, made Minnesota a sanctuary state for both illegal migrants and for trans kids so they can get the surgeries against their parents wishes.

 

Just cause you HATE immigrants does not make the guy who cares about them the bad guy.

He went. Walz did not.

I know nothing about the guy and think that's the point. Kamala could never stand a vp who has any spotlight at all. She wants "unflavored Jell-o".

Walz is much older than Vance. Like I was too old to get drafted for Viet Nam.

You mean switch her mother's "code" for her father's "code"?

You don't have to "switch" to acknowledge BOTH. Duh

Her father was Jamaican not southern.

If leftists actually buy that accent, it shows how racist they are. "We gon' do it agin in twenny twenny foh." That's just how black people talk, right?

Politico: “As Jewish Democrats, it’s tough to wrap our heads around the idea that everyone thought Shapiro was the strongest pick and he lost out,” David Greenfield, who leads the nonprofit Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, told Playbook.

“There was an unprecedented campaign against him by the far-left, including many who are not even Democrats, to smear him because he is an observant Jew. It’s on Harris + Walz to make it clear that was not the case,” added Greenfield, a Democratic player in New York.

That doesn't make her sound like a black person from the south.

And actually quite literally it doesn't. Because she didn't really sound like one. Because it was a fake accent.

There are at least 10 distinct regional accents in AAVE,^[123] and regional patterns of pronunciation and word choice appear on social media.

Are you seriously suggesting the accent she was using is one they use in California or New York?

No. We love pointing out that you guys view everything through identity politics, if you ever put down the emotional support teddy. Because you view everybody by their identity, you don't see their individualality. You guys think that Muslims would hate Shapiro and white men would be more likely to vote for the Midwestern guy. Never mind Shapiro has better polling data, is good looking and can give inspiring speeches. Pick the guy that let Build Large Mansions burn down his police stations, cut police funding, put tampons in boys restrooms, called socialism neighborly and so on. TamponTim is going to drag her down. But, they are OK with that because he isn't Jewish.

LOL as if you dipshits don't make the same electability calculations. The GOP picked mike Pence to appeal to the religious nutjobs, now they're picking Vance to appeal to beady-eyed fascist VC contingent.

LOL keep going with this line of attack, I'm sure trying to cast an avuncular high school football coach as an extremist is gonna work out great for your freaks.

So Walz just claimed that Trump will ban abortion nation wide.
