Why Tim Walz?

The official line from the Harris handlers, has officially been she chose Walz, this narrative of course has been swallowed as fact and repeated since he was officially named. This of course, to any one with critical thinking skills, harder to swallow and keep down than Ipecac.

Simple reality is Walz was not the Harris handlers first choice, he wasn't their second, third or even forth choice.. I am sure in the lists that were drawn up for VP selection Walz likely was somewhere in the high teens if not in the 20s on the list of potential VP candidates.

[Sacajaweau]

He was chosen as an image...sweet old man who was a coach. Except...anything but a sweet old man.

I see all the signs at his rallies...Coach...Coach...Coach...like that's a qualification for VP...and he owns a gun!!

If Trump wins, Shapiro will be a tough nut to crack in 2028 for both parties provided he doesn’t self-destruct. And if Shapiro were to win in 2028, the Obamas will lose their grip on the White House and leave their DC lair.

Here she is in all her glory:

That’s why you don’t see people like Gavin Newsome jumping up and down for ‘joy.’ You hook up with her and your future political chances are zero.

[Gen.Blather]

This was a situation where good, qualified politicians wanted to stay as far away from the fallout from the Harris campaign as they could. Being a VP candidate under Harris would be like Albert Einstein being the janitor for a high school math teacher. Not a career building experience.

[FamiliarFace]

I’ve heard them try to make him as a grandfatherly figure, but he isn’t a grandfather yet either. He’s just a stinking Marxist like Kamala.

[jerod]

Because Democrats suckered Kamal-toe into selecting a loser, so that she would lose.

The majority of Democrats dislike and maybe even hate Kamala... They were calling for a replacement for her 6 months ago... And there are lots of Democrat Presidential hopefuls looking forward to 2028... They don’t want her to win... They want her to lose and Walz and his lack of appeal will be useful to that end.

I strongly suspect the first choice was Josh Shapiro out of Pennsylvania to help shore up that state - but his support of Israel may have changed the Harris camp’s mind - I suspect he was offered Secretary of State or Chief of Staff if Harris is elected - meanwhile, to keep his mouth shut about Israel and Hamas.

[Bon of Babble]

Yeah, sort of like Harris wasn’t the first, second or third choice for Biden - but he promised Clyburn that he’d pick a black woman for the VP spot.

The author has some valid points. Roy Cooper, NC, would have been perfect. He is term-limited, but he is popular enough to carry NC for the ticket, maybe. He would have appeared sane next to Harris. Newsome has too much baggage right now. He must fade away and move to the center before 2028. Newsome cannot wait until he is nominated to go to the center. The country knows how badly he screwed up California. Josh Shapiro is a wild card; he is articulate and clever in an evil sort of way, and he would also appear sane compared to Harris. But he is a Jew. A liberal Jew in the same vein as Rahm Emmanuel and his brother, both of whom would have been at home in the Judenrate and Sonndercommandos of WWII. If we have learned anything since 7 Oct 2023, sadly, anti-semitism runs deep in this country. Although he would have possibly brought PA, he would have lost MI. That leaves Whitmer in Michigan. She also has a lot of COVID baggage and needs to let it fade from public memory. Against Trump, it is not sure she could have carried Michigan.

Therein lies the real problem. All of the top RATs want to avoid losing to Trump, especially in their own States. That would hurt them politically. If Trump wins, he has one term. Two years into another Trump Presidency, he would be a lame duck. They would prefer to run against a JD Vance in 2028. By then, a Newsome & Cooper or Newsome & Whitmer would be a strong ticket. Josh Shapiro will never be on a Presidential ticket.

They had to find someone who would not overshadow Harris and who, if he loses, is no harm, no foul. This is the pinnacle of Waltz's career; I am not sure he could win as Governor again in MN. I wonder if the RAT shadow government under Obama wants Harris to win. The stronger RAT candidates would be sidelined until 2036 or later. Obama may prefer people he can manipulate. But Obama and the RAT Oligarchy control the money and votes so any RAT candidate would follow Obama's orders.

Why Tim Walz?

Two reasons:

1. He is "impeachment insurance" (much like Kommie-La) should Comrade Kommie-La succeed in stealing the election; and

2. He is likely the only one who could stomach being around her.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I imagine her handlers were going after the “voters” in Minnesota’s African colonies.

[rbg81]

I agree, it does not take much to see through Timmy Waltz. Unfortunately, lots of lazy people out there.

[Fireone]

95% of her White House staff has resigned, due to poor treatment, and working conditions.
Can you imagine being her 2nd in command? Every misstep would be your fault.
Also, they know she can’t win, and don’t want to be associated with the loser.

[The Great RJ]

I too cannot fathom why Harris picked Walz. Minnesota hasn’t voted Republican in the presidential election in decades so no need to shore up support. Shapiro was a much better choice , but he is Jewish and the anti semitism that permeates the Democratic Party and Harris herself made him a no starter. I think Newsom was asked and turned down the offer. The Democrats are afraid of losing Congress so no members of Congress were willing to take the chance of losing a seat. Walz is out after this term and would not be a good candidate for any Minnesota congressional seat so basically he had nothing better to do.
