Blundering Tim Walz dragging down Harris campaign — while brilliant JD Vance helps Trump surge
New York Post ^ | Oct. 14, 2024 | Miranda Devine

Posted on 10/14/2024 6:38:08 AM PDT by SharpRightTurn

As the latest polls Sunday showed Donald Trump and Kamala Harris neck and neck with just 23 days to go until the presidential election, Democratic spinmeisters are trying to calm the bedwetters, and Barack Obama has been dispatched to scold black men for not being impressed by his protégé.

But as uncomfortably close as this election is, one thing is certain: Tim Walz has to be the worst VP pick on record, in stark contrast to JD Vance.

If Harris loses, her self-indulgent decision to reject popular Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro in favor of a running mate even dumber than she is will go down in the Democrats’ Hall of Fame as the worst own goal of all time.

What the choice of running mate tells you about each candidate is profound.

Trump’s choice of the brilliant Senator Vance tells you he is comfortable in his own skin, secure about his own achievements and not threatened by a younger, more articulate MAGA exemplar.

Vance pulled himself out of a chaotic Appalachian childhood plagued by poverty, domestic violence and drug abuse to attend Yale Law School, find success in business and a happy marriage.

Since he was unveiled as Trump’s surprise VP pick, against the advice of most donors and advisers, he has hit the ground running and proven his worth in dozens of interviews pushing back on media lies with grace and deadly precision.

....Sunday, when ABC’s Martha Raddatz downplayed the violent takeover of residential buildings in Aurora, Colo., by armed illegal migrant gangs because “the incidents were limited to a handful of apartment complexes,” Vance took her apart.

“Do you hear yourself?” he replied. “Only a handful of apartment complexes were taken over by Venezuelan gangs and Donald Trump is the problem and not Kamala Harris’ open border?”

If anything, Walz is even more a flub of a candidate than CommieLa herself. And that is really saying something.

Kamala picked Walz. That is the kind of decisions she makes.

Walz is such a dud....All I had to hear was “Tampon Tim” and I know the dude is too stupid to be VP...or anything else. How did he ever get elected?

I also understand a young man is going to go public this week and describe how he was sexually assaulted by Tim Walz, at the Walz home, with mrs Walz at home the whole time

Is it too late for Kamalahahahaha to choose a new VP?

Vance should have asked her how long she’d put up with a “handful” of homes on her block being taken over by a violent criminal gang.

Then just sit back and watch.

“As the latest polls Sunday showed Donald Trump and Kamala Harris neck and neck...”

Stopped reading right there. That IS NOT what the polls are showing. What they are showing is a steady shift towards Trump.

I don't remember JD being a "no" by advisors and/or donors.

Don Jr has known JD for a long time and brought him to his father's attention. I'm betting President Trump was mesmerized by the gentleman.

Now me...It's all in the eyes...those steely blues that go right through you. Can you tell I'm a woman??

He's gorgeous...I'm 80....lol

”a running mate even dumber than she is”

Ouch, that really sums it up.

He was picked to placate the Elmer Fudd contingent. Didn’t know there was one did you.

Stories are popping up about him having sex with boys when he was a teacher. And his psycho wife singing a blasphemous version of the marine’ Marines Hymn.

Does anyone really know if Kamala rejected Shapiro? Maybe he was offered the VP slot but wisely declined.

I hate to imagine how bad her cabinet would be but she probably wouldn’t change out anyone.

Yes, Andrea Walberg had a column yesterday about the boy Putz groomed. If there’s smoke, there’s fire.

I've heard the same thing. One thing I would advise Team Trump is to stay 1000 yards away from the entire scandal. It will have its own life, no need to join in.

Trump and Vance are doing great. Do nothing to disturb that.
