Running Through Walz to Fix America - Democratic VP Nominee

[Biff Tannen 45420]

May be a short lived thread (Aug 7), but god dammit, this man deserves it.  We need him on that wall.

 

 

[royiv 9123]

I love this guy. I also love how his daughter plays the perfect foil. They are a great duo.

Flag on the play. False Start. Biff. Wishes should not be statement for thread titles.

Also, fuck yourself.  Walz is fucking awesome.

Walz is the type of guy who was actually a teacher and he reminds people of a teacher who said impactful things and changed their lives as a young adult. Hopefully he can do this to voters in this election to move this country away from the MAGA mindset.

Fuck myself? I just clicked on a Tim Walz for VP thread and there’s no link showing he’s been selected as VP.

Well, generally, FOR means I'm endorsing him FOR the candidate for VP.  Not that he IS the candidate for VP.  Come now, Spud Jr.

It’s not like you created a VP search thread called Who Does Number 2 Work For? And then said Walz was gonna be the pick in the title.

Harris has the biggest walz of them all?

I don't pretend to know which candidate has more pull in the most strategic states or any of that election strategy witchcraft, I just know that dude is good. Sure he's a skilled communicator, but he is the rarest of politicians that actually manages to look like a guy you'd actually know or would want to know. He's the  opposite of weird, which further enhances the message. He would eviscerate that awkward fuck Vance in a debate. 

[Pods 7503]

Walz is the Democratic Party Rosetta Stone to talk to rural whites who are currently voting against their own self-interests. If we are ever going to head off the threat to democracy, we are going to need to peel off some of them. Walz can reach them, because he is them. 

If he isn't the VP, he needs to be in a major public facing role. Either way, he needs to be on Fox as often as those stupid bastards will put him on. 

 

[Underdog 28372]

make that bastard wake up afterwards and know that a Black woman kicked his ass and sent him on the road?”
 

MAGA: 

 

[Bojack 2073]

I actually answered a text poll yesterday because it was asking who I supported for VP. Walz wasn't one of the 6 or so options so I chose "someone else" thinking I'd have a chance to write in Walz. Much of the reason I'm hearing about Walz is because he's big in CR. Talking to some other Democratic voters and they've not heard of him. In the short time between now and when the pick is made, how do we influence it in favor of Walz? Maybe time to put together a Surly Lawyers for Walz Zoom call. 

Imagine Hope doing the introduction for her dad to be VP nominee at the convention. 

[Hugo Stiglitz 23355]

It’s almost like this guy is too good.  Like, he seems genuinely enthusiastic about helping people and doing the right thing. VP or not, this guy needs to be a big part of the Kamala Harris campaign. 

[mdmost 42619]

He has that Minnesota nice persona. I'm all in which means we're getting Shapiro. 

[Constant 6694]

Even if he’s not selected, I hope he has the humility to stay out front on messaging. He’s too good to have locked away in Minnesota.

Yeah, he is still under the radar a bit. But the push to use "weird" and "creepy" is because of Walz. So the important people inside the party are definitely paying attention to him.

It’s actually because of Harris, she wanted to use weird as an attack against Trump in 2020. But Walz knew that and was smart to run with it immediately.

To be fair he was pushing that angle long before Kamala assumed the candidacy. This is  from December of last year

When this dude won his US House Seat as well as the governorship, he defeated a republican incumbent. He can speak to the issues in rural areas well enough to get elected. I'm not fooling myself into thinking the Qtards are ever coming back to normalcy, but he would appeal to rural america more than most.  

[South Austin 51966]

Walz should starts.

[Biff Tannen 45420]

CNN was doing the electoral college math and it seems like Shapiro delivering PA would be far more important than Walsh delivering MN, but I kinda think he could speak to the entire rust belt and connect with them.  I'm betting she goes with Shapiro, but as long as she makes Mayor Pete and Walz her main attack dogs, I'm fine with that too.

No one is picking Walz to lock up MN.  I hope she doesn't go with Shapiro - let him cook in PA longer, and the office sexual lawsuit settlement + Israel are too big of issues to intro into the campaign.

he apparently did post a video of a pride parade in SF that was pretty off the chain, but hey, consenting adults are into some interesting shit sometimes

What I get from that is Royce really likes getting peed on.

How about Secretary of Agriculture?  He might have higher aspirations, but that'd be a damn good role, and Vilsack is old.

Waltz seems to meet the threshold of do no harm.

the GF was up there for work about two weeks ago.  She said the same thing.  She expected a sewer, and what she got was...San Francisco, in all it's beautiful glory.

Walz's relentless positivity gives this guy a leg-up over the other contenders for the VP slot, imo.

Well, he's Minnesotan, where passive-aggressiveness is an art form.

It’s a great city man. As you know. So ridiculous it has been made up to be this horror show.

Granted its CNN, but a boy can dream. That guy would f'n kill it, make it happen.

We went there 4 weeks ago.  The first time ever for both of us.  Amazing city.  We stayed in The Presidio.  Morning walks (maybe 5 miles but not running lulz) were fantastic.  Weather was a little on the chilly side but man that city is a jewel.  I don't think I saw a dozen homeless people over the course of several days.
