He’s making that fart sound with his mouth again.
I will miss the jazz hands hand movements
NOW I see where the remains of P-Nut went.
This song to Landslide music is good

What is wrong with Minnesota?
Walz follows in the same political tradition of Democrat national candidates. I don’t believe FDR won his home county (Duchess County, NY) in any of his 4 presidential runs.
BTTT
The winters.
They’re the people who know the backstory.
They should have gone through the process and picked Newsom instead of Kamala. Then maybe they would have had a shot.
And he probably couldn't even be elected as dog catcher from here on in.
He missed the gold ring by thiiissss much.
You wonder how this guy was elected as governor.
And I live in the state that elected Carter.
Worst gov in the 50 states, worst VP candidate ever, worst version of a man ever. Pictured is Walz finding out his man card has expired and wasn’t getting renewed.
as a side, he’s bloated so you know what that means
Landslide. That was extremely well done.
“What is wrong with Minnesota?”
Being a Minnesotan, I’ll tell you a few things...
We have two counties (Hennepin (primarily Minneapolis and suburbs and Ramsey (St Paul and suburbs) where there is an extremely heavy liberal vote coming out of the core cities.
In the past, the GOP could county of the second and third ring suburbs to produce a decent GOP vote that could partially offset the Democrat vote in the core cities and first ring suburbs.
However, those counties, like in any metro areas, have gone very Karen-like in their voting - too many soccer moms, too many brain-washed 20-somethings, etc).
In northern Minnesota, there is a sizable labor contigent especially in cities like Duluth. Some of the labor guys have not yet gotten trump’s message of “Hey, would you like to be employed?” and reflexively vote democrat. There is also a historical anti-GOP bent up there due to past issues between business and labor.
Rochester (home of the Mayo Clinic) used to be GOP - but it was always more moderate GOP. Many of the voters in that area are highly educated and vote dem because they think it’s the right thing to do.
St Cloud used to be pretty GOP but the presence of St cloud State University and an influx of Somalis has made it purplish.
The remainder of the state is solid red except for a few small pockets here and there. Last week, I was visiting a small city in southern Minnesota - perhaps 1 hours south of the twin cities. the streets had many trump signs and not one harris-Walz sign.
EoL: Well said.
bg: A large portion of the population of MN are in the twin cities. They tend to overpower the rest of the state during elections. And campaign promises don’t necessarily have to be kept after the votes are counted. Plus a comment attributed to Josef Stalin, in essence, “It’s not the votes that counts, it’s the one who counts the votes that counts.” or something like that.
Back in the day, much of the general farming population was Democrat. They believed that FDR saved the farmers during the Great Depression, if I remember correctly, by killing a portion of their livestock. So they became Democrats forever.
Hubert Humphrey is considered to be a saint for his work as Attorney General when he kept the Chicago mob out of Minnesota.
So there was a lot of momentum in the direction of Democrats that allowed them to gain almost total control.
The people who know him best, like him least. Same goes for his family.
How do people like this rise so high in politics (hint: they’re owned by the Deep State through kompromat)
