One Word Has Elevated Minnesota’s Governor to the Democrats’ V.P. Wish List

No one would accuse Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota of being flashy. He taught social studies for 20 years before trying politics. During six terms in Congress, he was regarded more as a workhorse than a showboat.
Neither has Mr. Walz really been a household name outside of Minnesota — at least, not until this past week, when he made a flurry of cable news appearances pointedly pressing Kamala Harris’s case and dismissing Donald J. Trump’s agenda as divisive and extreme. And weird.
“These guys are just weird,” Mr. Walz said on Saturday of the Republican ticket. He was talking to a crowd of canvassers for the Harris campaign in St. Paul, but the “weird” line of attack, which he has been using for months,
went viral. (Ms. Harris herself
used the words “just plain weird” over the weekend to describe the ways in which Republicans have chosen to criticize her.)
Weird is not a word most people would use to describe Mr. Walz, and that may well be one reason he is among a handful of Democrats under consideration as Ms. Harris’s potential running mate. Mr. Walz is seen as offering a steady, down-to-earth, everyman persona. His supporters say he also would bring a record of winning over moderate voters and deep roots in the rural Midwest that might serve as a counterpoint to JD Vance, Mr. Trump’s running mate.

You want weird?

That must be their new talking point. I heard Illannoying Gov. J.B. “Slim’ Pritzker say it yesterday.
Well, two can play at that game. A synonym for ‘weird” is “queer”. We could call them that. On second thought, they would probably embrace that.

If the Slimes told me the sky is blue I wouldn’t believe it until I personally verified it.

Waltz is my choice. He’s got a horrible record as governor.

Hey, that’s a better Democrat talking point than their old ones that seemed designed to inspire people to murder us and our candidate.

I prefer to see the division as: we are unique, independent, individuals and they are party-line, group think, collectivists. All the conformist followers can join them, while we stand for the free thinkers brave enough to do their own thing. To a sheep, independence must look “weird” indeed.

Let’s face it. We’re living in some “bizarro” Twilight Zone world now. Tranny freaks like Richard “Rachel” Levine are considered normal, while J.D. Vance is a weirdo.

It’s hilarious that Waltz gave an award to a Somali alien of the year who scammed millions of Covid dollars to feed nobody. Liberals are so sloppy and careless with taxpayer money.
To: TornadoAlley3
They will probably choose Shapario to try and take away PA but and pretend when they go to MI that he is not Jewish. MSM will cooperate of course
To: NorthMountain
How would you like the job of having to promote that blithering idiot Harris?!
Boy if that doesn’t destroy a reputation nothing will
