Everyone is saying the same thing after Tim Walz says he's ready to run for president in 2028
UK Daily Mail ^ | 03/02/2025 | Melissa Koenig

The American people laughed off the idea of failed Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz taking over the Oval Office after he suggested he might run for president in 2028.

The 60-year-old Minnesota governor did not rule out the idea of taking on Republicans in the next presidential election when pressed by the New Yorker.

'Look I never had an ambition to be President or Vice President. I was honored to be asked,' he said.

'If I feel like I can serve, I will. And if nationally, people are like, "Dude we tried you and look how that worked out," I'm good with that.'

When the politician was then asked point-blank whether he would ever run for president, he replied: 'Well I had a friend tell me, "Never turn down a job you haven't been offered."

'If I think I could offer something... I would certainly consider that. I'm also, though, not arrogant enough to believe there's a lot of people that can do this.'

He then explained that if the circumstances are right in 2028 and he has the right 'skill set' for the moment, 'I'll do it.'

'I'll do whatever it takes. I certainly wouldn't be arrogant enough to think that it needs to be me.

'I've always said this: I didn't prepare my life to be in these jobs, but my life prepared me well.

'And if this experience I've had and what we're going through right now prepares me for that, then I would.

'But I worry about people who have ambition for elected office. I don't think you should have ambition. I think you should have a desire to do it if you're asked to serve. And that's kind of where I'm at.'

We still don’t know how many teenage boys he molested.

My guess—double figures—minimum.

Say what you want about Kamala Harris, but she managed to find a running mate who came across as even more clueless than she was.

“Just think of what he and his comrade wife did to Minnesota”

He probably is about as tanned, rested and ready as he’ll ever be.

He watched Kamala raise a billion bucks in a month and he thinks he can do that too. Sorry, Timmy. USAID isn’t around any more to make millions of small fake donations.

“MN politicians have always had a blind spot.”

And it corresponds with the MN voters who put them in office.

“””And it corresponds with the MN voters who put them in office.””

Actually...It is not the Minnesota voters who put him in office. It is the gimmedats and illegals in the Occupied Territory of Minneapolistan that did it. He pays no attention to outstate Minnesota as he said there is nothing out there but rocks and cows.

I am still amazed the Democrats found someone more weird than Tim Kaine to run for VP.

If he’s the candidate, then we can vote him down again.

Meanwhile, in the Oval Office, JD showed his meddle. JD is going to be nigh impossible to defeat.

That picture of him on a stage, cowboy hat on while dancing for dollars, was a picture I will not ever forget and one that will provide me the impetus to not ever vote for the man. EVER!!

Tim Walz knows he can’t win and doesn’t care because he gets to keep the donor money it’s why so many run for office.

[praying] Please, God. Let Walz be the candidate!

><

I felt the same way about Obama. Then moron George W. Bush came along and got us into wars, neglected the economy, and we know what happened.

GOP govern badly = even a dunce like Walz can be elected.
