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.'

Walz is a mildly overweight, mildly slovenly, mildly ignorant doofus.

Reminds me of James Cordon or Jack Black.

I use the term mildly as it relates to Michael Moore because when it comes to fat ignorant slobs, he is the gold standard.

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

+++++++++=

I find The two Timmy’s to be interchangeable. On a creepy and idiotic level of course.

The election of idiots in Minnesota like Walz is a result of the division of the state into the Metro…Minneapolis St Paul area and Outstate..the rest of Minnesota. The Metro is solidly leftist while Outstate is typical of rural Midwestern states and conservative. Metro and Outstate are roughly equal in population so elections get tipped in the northern Iron Range..largely blue collar Democrats and the Rochester (Mayo Clinics) liberals. The Minnesota GOP also tends to run lackluster candidates with poor campaigns. Walz was re-elected solely on the abortion issue which galvanized liberals in the tipping areas. It is interesting that Walz on the ticket with Harris did not bring a landslide in Minnesota with a slim margin even less than Hillary got in 2016.

Walz is totally unelectable as POTUS even in Minnesota with.

I hope he does run. The laughs and memes alone would be worth it.

I heard someone refer to the Walz Delemma as as a male version of the McCain VP whatshername.

I think you should have a desire to do it if you're asked to serve.

Don't hold your breath Tim, nobody will ask you.

Compared to Walz, Jesse “The Body” Ventura was Ron Desantis.
