The best run-down on Walz I've seen anywhere. Nicely done.

Add to that, while Minneapolis was burning, Kamala was engaged on Twitter encouraging people to donate to a fund to cover bail for the looters and arsonists. She arranged for these people, once arrested, to be sent back out onto the streets to continue their damage.

What a ticket.

Unfortunately, there are still enough dumb folks in the populace who will think "Oh, that's so yesterday, move on" and go ahead and pull the lever for Kamala/Walz, in order to "save democracy" (via socialistic policy and view, cuz it sounds good). Lord help us . . .

Besides being Jewish, Shapiro committed the unpardonable sin (in Democratic orthodoxy) of once supporting school choice. I'm pretty sure one of the knives in his back is from the teacher's unions.

When presented with a school choice bill by the legislature he vetoed it. He got almost $2M in campaign donations from teachers unions.

I think there is a substantial faction of the Democrats, that thinks the riots were a good thing. They credit Walz and Kamala with promoting and allowing the Left to let the rest of the country know who is boss.

Female suburban voters are way in favor of BLM thuggery. This solidifies their D vote.

Good pick if you want a-holes running the country.

He offered a budget based on increasing Minnesota's state gas tax by 70%!

He is a tax and spend Governor and a perfect addition and complement to Harris.

Horrible choice. Glad she picked him. Well... "they" picked him. Except, if the rigging machine determines the winner in November, and this is what we get, we are on the road to becoming a much different nation than the one I want my lineage to inherit. Please no.

Well, your bullet points above reveal Walz as completely onboard Democrat policies and priorities. As is said in such context, I'm already voting for Trump--you don't have to convince me.

Harris and Walz have to be the dumbest presidential ticket in US history.

I knew it would be Walz because he is a communist like Obama and Kamala and would not overshadow her. But none of this damning information about them matters. The only thing that matters is the ballots and counting thereof in Milwaukee, Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Phoenix. Whoever controls that “wins” the election. Money spent anywhere else is completely wasted. It’s mystifying to me that everyone seems to know this, but nothing is ever done about it. For that reason, the Fundamental Transformation of America will continue unabated.

Great post! I don't agree with all your conclusions about my Governor Wally, but that's because you think he actually has any principles. He has none. He does whatever he thinks will benefit him.

The red-diaper baby Kamala Harris picks the ‘socialism is neighborliness’ Tim Walz.

Will we see more ads touting ‘equality of result,’ like this one?

I agree with the analysis. I also can't help but think the Democratic power brokers know that the popularity and sensibility of the names on the ticket don't matter. All that matters is getting through voting season without the party fracturing and the Democratic election machine will take care of the votes.

I am absolutely no fan of Walz, as I believe he was responsible, in large part, for the destruction of the once-beautiful Minneapolis. He's also a socialist - but don't socialists simply destroy things? He was going to be a SGM? That's typically a big deal and honorable. I was totally unaware of how much of a scum he was. Thanks for highlighting the details. He's now even a bigger scum, in my mind. What a freaking weasel (Walz is.)

I knew it would never be Shapiro; he was always a red herring. I think there might have been some few remaining rational people in their smoke-filled backrooms who -- unable yet to admit what the Dems have become -- were desperately arguing for a chance at PA, planting those stories with ever-compliant transcribers in dying corporate meedja outlets. The Powers That Be let the stories float to create a facade of minimal consideration but we don't live in that world any more.

No way this set of PTB would pick a Jewish person, ever, and especially not given current 'opportunities', from their perspective, in the Middle East and on US campuses -- higher ed is about to ratchet up for fall, and the escalation is going to be violently destructive.

Putting the Covidian Disaster front and center on the ticket may make it a little bit harder for them to try that trick again this fall, in spite of already having laid LOTS of groundwork. Not placing any bets but, just maybe.

Be of good cheer and prepare as best you see fit. It's going to be hard and it's going to be awful. And not going to be over in November no matter which way it goes.

Nitpicking but. I think you meant if you are a man identifying as a woman. Newsom would have caused Constitutional Issues similar to those preventing Trump from choosing Rubio or De Santis (though that was never going to happen). Also couldn't pick Kelly because of the Chinese spy ballon business he was involved and other things.

Waltz is the perfect fit. The ideal Modern Democratic Man (MDM). Subordinate to a Woman Of Color (WOC). Rules for thee, not for me. Nothing if ever my fault (though to be fair that's also Trump's excuse, so it's more of a Pol thing than a D or R thing. If something doesn't work though more money at it. If that doesn't help it because you didn't throw enough money at it. Rinse, repeat, continue.

In the vernacular of the trading floor:"oh Democrats you gotta be s******* me!"😄😆

This is the most liberal and ignorant pairing to run for the White House in the history of our nation. These two combined will make Jimmy Carter and Andrew Jackson look Reaganesque by comparison. I could be fooled by the general public's ignorance, but after the riots of 2020 and people having a few years for it to sink in and then seeing the college campuses and traffic blocked on highways, combined with the unrest in Europe and the war in the Middle East, the highest Jewish and Black support of Donald Trump in history, if we put the Democrat team in office, we might as well leave the country, because it's really going to collapse. At least America as we know it even today will be 5 to 10 times better than what would happen over the course of an administration run by Harris with the other cuckoo as her VP.

This is the first time I don't think that statement is an overreaction.

Both of them epitomize the simultaneous "educated but ignorant" label in which more people of that description are concentrated in Washington DC than any other place in the world.

The two biggest keys to the outcome of the election will be how much ass kissing mainstream media does for the Democrats and how much cheating they are allowed to get away with in the big cities of swing States.
