Tim Walz loses home county to Trump

1. /politics turned into /conservative so quickly.

2. Wow that’s an extra kick

3. I doubt more than a handful of people voted based on the VP candidates. Certainly, not enough to change the percentages, even in one county. It’s an interesting anecdote, nothing more.

4. I honestly wonder if Walz is the guy they choose if Harris starts her campaign sooner than July.

5. Oh whatever you guys weren’t even using your civil rights that much and now you may get cheaper eggs!

   /s

6. Maybe he should have used eyeliner

7. JD Vance lost his home county to Harris.

8. Yep! Democrats now have about three years to stop promoting a woman to be their candidate and choose a better VP. I loved Kamala but this is just not the appetite for the American people right now. Stop playing stupid games and pull it together.

   And if you came here to gloat about your man winning – don’t, because he lost the popular vote twice and the election once before. You don’t have much to gloat about since four years ago at this time you were crying and planning terroristic tantrums at the Capitol. Be graceful.

9. Tim has shitty neighbors.

10. I’m getting drunk now. Someone poke me when the nightmare is over. ✌️😘

11. I don’t think Walz was perfect (he was just OK) but he for sure was not the deciding factor in this election. Swap him out with whoever you like and Kamala loses the same set of states. This race was not nearly close enough where a better VP pick would have shifted the dynamics of it. I was rooting for Beshear (and I still think he would have been the best choice) but now I’m glad that he didn’t get picked. He has loads of potential and this would have messed up his career. I feel similarly about Kelly/Shapiro. Maybe she takes their respective home states but this race would still be a rout.

12. Not as bad as Gore losing TN in 2000.  

13. Feels like watching the hero in a movie go through the heros journey, get to the final boss and then the villain of the movie just stomps the hero in the nuts for 10 minutes.

    Then the credits describe all the horrible shit the villain does after the chosen one failed and the audience stands up and gives it a standing ovation.

    Weird feeling I’mma go drink

14. Harris and Walz were held to higher standards. People were mad about past misstatements which really were quite harmless while the Trump camp blatantly made outrageous remarks that cost real people their lives, resulted in bomb threats and persecution of entire races. Grab them by the pussy!

15. The funny thing is if Walz was the Presidential nominee and ran on his ideas and policies with his personality and style he would have won.

16. That sucks.
    It’s not his fault.
    I have no fucking clue what to do now.
    This isn’t a failure of candidates this is a reflection of national character. Sorry.

17. I don’t want to be that person but I feel like something devious was at play last night 

18. OK that’s just messed up. Back when we believed polls reflected reality, he was polling as the most likeable person on either ticket.

19. Yeah, thanks! I _really_ needed that extra bit of information.

20. Mark my words Trump will be dumped and Vance will be the new president soon.

21. Walz is from the middle of nowhere, it is Trump country to the core.

22. He’s from a very red area. How is this surprising?

23. Trump and Vance’s home counties went to Harris. Politics is weird.

24. Just dawning on me that Trump is gonna make Walz’s life very difficult as Governor just for calling him weird.

25. I live here. That’s fucking gross.

26. I just spoke to someone who I work with that voted for Trump. He watches Fox exclusively. He had no idea that Putin was threatening to blow up jets bound for the U.S. from overseas. Nor did he know that North Korea has boots on the ground in Russia. This is tough because the Murdoch’s and Fox withheld so much truth from viewers. As for those who attended rallies he spewed his violent depravity in their faces and they cheered and ate it up. I guess what I’m trying to say is that in general, the rally goers intentionally chose evil. But for Fox viewers, they seem to have stumbled in the darkness not knowing where they were. As for Fox’s pundits such as Lara Ingram and Jessie Waters, they intentionally chose evil and intentionally chose to deceive viewers.

27. Aww poor Tim Walz. He seemed like a nice guy trying to do some good. He didn’t deserve this.

28. To the people who supported Trump and Vance, in months or years from now when this country goes to shit and you question “How did things end up like this? This isn’t what I wanted!”, you only have yourselves to blame.

    You did this to yourselves.
