Tim Walz's Speech Brought Some Horsepower to the Democratic Convention
Townhall ^ | August 22, 2024 | Matt Vespa

Posted on 08/22/2024 4:11:21 AM PDT by Red Badger

It happened again. The Democratic National Convention can’t keep to their schedule properly, which nearly derailed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s address. The left-wing governor accepted his party’s nomination for the vice presidency in front of a raucous crowd. He brought horsepower to the convention for all the wrong issues.

For a party that prides itself in promoting the joy and the promise of America, Walz attacked Donald Trump’s running mate, JD Vance, for overcoming poverty, obtaining a higher education at an elite college, and making a life for himself that would not be possible anywhere else. It’s a shoddy and pathetic attempt to weaponize populism, which withers on the vine of Democratic politics. The party has no working people as its backbone—it’s all professional agitators, tech billionaires, and white-collar snobs. The coasts and the Acela Corridor are two regions of the country that can and have soaked up the costs of the Biden-Harris inflationary agenda.

Yet, like a bucking bronco, Gov. Walz expounded on how Kamala will cut taxes for the middle class, protect entitlements, take on Big Pharma, and ensure that you can buy a home if you want to. The pair has yet to explain how they’ll pay for this, and when Kamala does—it’s a word salad fiasco. Trump’s tax cuts did impact the middle class—91 percent of middle-income Americans got relief in 2017. Trump reduced the cost of insulin first as well. Kamala’s most extensive policy rollout thus far to address rising costs at the grocery store was to enact price controls.

Did Walz do well? Politically, yes—it was short, sweet, and to the point—but it was also covered in lies, hyperbole, and strangeness that oozes from the governor. He carefully glossed over his massive lie about how he and his wife used IVF treatment. But he’s an attack dog, though one who will likely get muzzled when he dukes it out with JD Vance.

Another line that Walz keeps expounding is “mind your damn business,” which is rich coming from a governor who established a COVID snitch hotline. He also struck a Maoist tone by wanting to work volunteers to death to get out the vote.

The man is one weird stallion, but so is this party. You’re all lucky that none of you have had to watch this freak show centered on a lust for abortion, perpetual victimhood, and hatred for those who aren’t like them.

Fact check: Walz said he ran for office in a deep red district. That's simply a lie.

All the horse references. Oh, my. Didn’t think Townhall would go there...

Seems like Tiananmen Tim’s biggest achievement is to compulsively lie about himself. I hope the Trump campaign or the PACs get a few ads out there covering what a horrible record this clown has.

Minnesota a strange state with strange people. Originally a magnet for socialist Scandinavian and German settlers. In modern times a magnet for east coast communists. Minneapolis once one of best most livable big cities. Not anymore.

What’s with this meme the Trump is going to ban abortion with or without Congress?

The president of the United States, no matter who it is, cannot just issue an executive order to ban abortion, or to reimpose Roe vs. Wade.

Maybe this is one of those issues of projection. Maybe Kamala plans to issue an executive order on abortion and then dare anyone to do anything about it.

The Dems know their base are ignorant of basic civics rules.

They will lie their asses off to get them riled up to vote.

It’s what they have always done with some hot button subject every election.

Just like the ‘Project 2025’ crap. They still repeat it even though CNN has debunked it of all networks.

They know their base will eat this crapola up like candy.................

This convention has been a solid D+ on the the success grading scale. Tonight the Curry\Halfrican and her “We are the point of joy and it is a joy that the point is with us in joy....”. You know fodder for the morons who worship world salad priestesses like Maya Angelou.

Well, horsepower is true, because Communists, when in charge, will bring us back to a time where everything is “horse-powered”.

Comrade Kamala and Tampon Tim are getting their time to “shine” right now with the DNC. However, once it’s over and their dead cat bounce ends, they’ll either have to remain in hiding or begin talking. Either way, it benefits Trump. If they remain quiet the pressure will grow AND it’ll allow Trump to set the narrative with his pro-growth agenda. If they begin talking, voters will learn they’re both commies. Trump is in a good position heading into the homestretch.

“Walz defeated six-term Rep. Gil Gutknecht in 2006 by a 53-47 margin.”

Being a Minnesotan, I’m still trying to figure out how Gutknecht lost. The district was red enough and even if we take into consideration the “six year curse”, it still didn’t make sense.

Over the years, I’ve heard a few anecdotal stories. One was that Gutknecht got very complacent and didn’t campaign hard. Another was the Democrats actually felt they had a candidate in Walz who fit the district - IOW, not a Minneapolis-style liberal.

Walz knew he’d lose the rural counties in the district and concentrated on three counties- Blue Earth (Mankato), Olmsted (Rochester) and Winona (Winona) - that had lots of voters.

All Walz has is to attack Donald Trump - he lies constantly, continues to lie, is called out on it and continues to lie.

He let Minneapolis burn for four days. The violence led to the destruction of a police precinct, widespread looting, and the spread of riots nationwide.

Tim Walz signed bill redefining "sexual orientation" to include pedophilia.

Minnesota scrapped its historical state flag and replaced it with a new, more “inclusive” one. “Our [previous] flag is problematic,” Tim Walz...Despite about half of Minnesotans reportedly disagreeing with the switch, they had little say in the matter

And, he wishes to take away your right to defend yourself:
