HELENA, Montana — Tim Walz thinks he and Kamala Harris played it too safe last year.
He thinks they should have held more town halls. He thinks they didn’t have time to get their feet under them. And he thinks Democrats should have taken more risks and gone to more places.
“We shouldn’t have been playing this thing so safe,” the Minnesota governor said in an interview with POLITICO before speaking to nearly 1,000 Democrats here at the Helena fairgrounds last weekend.
...
His prescription for Democrats now and in the midterms, he said, is that Democrats “should be everywhere.” Recently, he’s appeared on primarily friendly outlets, like MSNBC and the South by Southwest stage on Saturday. He’ll be featured on California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new podcast, where his interview has yet to air, and he recorded a podcast with The New Yorker’s David Remnick. But his post on X promising to show up at town halls in GOP districts, a Walz aide said, has generated a big response — hundreds of messages and phone calls from county party chairs and activists, hoping to bring him to town.

He’ll never admit the obvious reasons they lost.
Did he include their picking a CCP-approved clown for VP?
Really, the guy is a total joke. HE’S the one that put the final nail in the Harris campaign coffin.
Yes, by all means keep this guy at the top of the democrat ticket. He just oozes appeal.
Thanks to awalz, I’ll never again have to wonder how stupid people can get.
With “friends” like that....
Right. He's talking as if he was campaigning with a Presidential "nominee" who was legitimately the choice of Democrats across the country.
He's talking AS IF the 'nominee' he ran with actually has a brain, could properly engage voters and field questions in person and in real time ... like a successfully vetted, career politician with a demonstrated record of accomplishments AND a command of the issues!!
Harris wasn't going anywhere NEAR a living breathing voter who would have fundamental questions and who deserved decipherable, logical answers
The more people heard them, the less they liked them.
Left unsaid by the VALOR THEIF Walz was that their record is and was indefensible, and that avoiding any of a hundred embarrassing questions (while scripting the narratives in the news) was their only choice.
Also, Ms. Harris' demeanor suggested inability to respond to most any question due to either lack of understanding and qualification or incapacity of some sort.
Anyone would have been a better pick than Walz ANYONE even AOC.
That’s right, Tim.
Get out there more, looking and sounding like the goofball you are. That’s the ticket!
Don’t worry, Mr. Walz. The DNC recently elected David Hogg as vice-chairman. That weirdo will take your concerns to heart, and make everything right.
Or maybe not.
“Ich bin einen Knucklehead!”
Had they played it less safe, they would have lost by more and given Trump a bigger mandate.
“Get out there more, looking and sounding like the goofball you are.”

He’s a self-admitted “knucklehead”.
In proper German, “Ich bin ein Dummkopf.”
Kaboom!!! You nailed it.
