Was this guy created in a lab?
A good man who walks the walk. Vance and the Trumpies must hate him with the fire of a thousand suns. I’m gonna buy some popcorn.
Is…is it okay to feel hope now? Because this makes me want to.
This makes me like him more.
That’s cool and refreshing like a sip of sweet Diet Mountain Dew.
How sad is it that this is refreshing?
The stockmarket has too much of a stranglehold on our government. Walz should be the norm and not the exception.
Next we are going to find out that this guy doesn’t even play golf.
Can’t wait for Trump to blame Stock prices on Walz some how, in that crazy way Trump makes up stupid stuff that no one understands.
“How can you trust such a radical communist!?” -MAGA
I’m voting for kamala if for no other reason, I want walz to be the presumptive nominee 8 years from now
I’m sure there’ll be a Republican or two out there spinning this into “he doesn’t support businesses!”
Winner winner chicken dinner 😎💙✌️
What about a 401k?
funny the only thing the GOP will attack him with is his DUI….but I’m pretty sure a lot of MAGAs have them too.
Uhh, ok, I thought I could relate to him but now I’m not so sure. I bet his toilet doesn’t even have a gold flusher, let alone the whole thing. Does the man even go falconing or did he always just use a rifle?
Can this guy get any more normal? Just when you think this guy couldn’t resonate with regular people more than he does, some new info comes out to top that
He’s just like us.
The democrats really hid this super soldier from us and finally released him to save the USA from demise
Nancy is shocked
Finally a politician I can identify with
Like many Minnesotans, Walz has a concept of what enough is. We don’t strive to be millionaires up here. We want nice yards, friendly neighbors and successful children. Once you can afford to feed your family, take care of your belongings, and replace things when they break, it’s enough. We don’t sellout for more.
lol this is my guy what the fuck I can’t stand people talking about their stocks
By all accounts this man is the real deal
He’s a real modest type who never had anything nor beholden to scum like Thiel and Trump
He isn’t perfect like any of us but is sincere in doing as much good as he can
make this man president
And he doesn’t give a single fuck
Between this and Snoop at the Olympics, it’s clear that what America is really craving is a fun uncle. If a candidate shows up driving an IROC-Z, the polls might actually explode.
This is another thing that I think sets Walz apart as the better choice, over Shapiro.
Walz has the same kind of vibe as most Americans. He’s not an attorney, he wasn’t a rich guy chasing politics, he isn’t a career politician. He’s just a normal guy, who wanted to serve his country and be a leader.
It’s the most relatable politician the American public has seen in decades.
He doesn’t have any stock. That’s weird. How does he make soups or stews?
I bet he owns one helluva lawn mower
I was very heavily rooting for Shapiro. But this guy also checks a lot of boxes. There’s a bit of populism in his game, which could be integral to an EC victory with swing states.
Our Gift to the Nation, Treat him well. -Minnesota
What’s the f’’ is this guy really? Is he real?
Sponsored Gay-straight alliance all the way back in the 90s
Decided to go into politics because he was pissed that he and his students were not allowed to attend Bush’s rally. They were deemed “unsafe” because his student has Kelly’s sticker in his pockets
Took a one-week crash course how-to-campaign Bootcamp because he literally did not know much about the politic world. Tim started his campaign with his students as campaign staffs. He literally bootstrapped it
Despite running for his first election in a fairly conservative district against 12-year incumbent, Walz still decided to advocate for same-sex marriage because he (to paraphrase it) thought it would be better to lose with what he believe in. It was freaking 2006 btw.
And now you are telling me that this man does not own any stock, real estate or doing any book deals or paid speaking? And his retirement plan is literally just teacher/gov’s pension despite being in politics (federal level btw) for almost 12 years and being state Governor for 6 years??????
It’s damn unironically at this point to say Tim Walz was lab-manufactured by Dems to be a perfect political candidate.
Furthermore, GOP has been digging for dirt hard and all they could find was Tim’s DUI from 30 years ago lmaooooo. This man is squeaky “clean”
The only weak point he has seems to be his delay to call in national guard during 2020 riots. I don’t know much about this issue but I do find GOP’s attacking point valid. And I’m waiting to hear Tim’s response to it. Honestly though, I think he was just simply indecisive in that moment and I’m ok with that. Tim is still human after all.
it amazes me how often the right person shows up at the right time if we do the right thing. I’m a little choked up to think a person like one of us normal people really is at such a high level of governance even prior to being nominated for vp. what refreshing news he is
Lies, I just saw a photo on here that showed he owned a rifle. What’s on the end of that rifle? That’s right, a stock.
That’s because he’s too busy investing in the future of America.
It still blows my mind that the American public went from forcing Jimmy Carter to sell his peanut farm due to potential conflicts of interest. To having Donald Trump sign his company over to his son with phony papers and receive money from foreign governments via his properties and golf course memberships. Why did we let him get away with this?
But he does own a dog and a cat.
When you have strong union pensions you don’t really need them…
