The most important criterion for a vice president is the capability to serve competently as the president, should that become necessary. Some say that is the only necessary test, as a vice president’s job is mostly to stand around in case there is a vacancy at the top.
Tim Walz, Harris’s surprise pick for VP, flunks that test badly. His career was as a high school geography teacher and assistant football coach. Perhaps Walz was chosen as impeachment insurance for Kamala Harris, because as bad as Kamala would be, no one would want the clueless Walz running our country. This ticket of Harris and Walz reminds of the hit comedy, “Dumb and Dumber.”
[…]Walz’s alma mater Chadron State College ranks only #132 out of 167 regional universities in the Midwest, according to the annual U.S. News & World Report rankings. Democrats are delusional if they think voters in the key swing states of Michigan and Wisconsin feel any connection with this underachiever from Minnesota, as Midwestern states are rivals of each other.

As governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz could have stopped the riots at any time. The violence of that summer could have been nipped in the bud if Walz had an ounce of courage. Instead, he excused the riots as a natural consequence of America’s failure to enact enough left-wing social justice programs. Walz did nothing when rioters burned a Minneapolis police station to the ground.
Responsibility for the damage and death from that summer rests squarely on the shoulders of Tim Walz and Kamala Harris.
Beyond the chaos of 2020, Walz has overseen some of the most extreme left-wing policies in America. He has signed laws allowing abortion until the point of birth and encouraged parents to bring their children to Minnesota for transgender drugs and surgeries.
[…]Walz has tried to cloak this radical agenda under a Minnesota Nice veneer, once saying, “one person’s socialism is another person’s neighborliness.” Nevertheless, the results speak for themselves. Under Walz’s watch, Minnesota has gone from the quirky leftism of Garrison Keillor to the radicalism of Ilhan Omar. What Walz has done in Minnesota – abortion on demand, child gender mutilation, open borders, unconstitutional lockdowns, and open season on police and small businesses – is the Harris/Walz plan for America.
Make no mistake, a Harris/Walz administration would be anything but nice.

Have you heard about Tim Walz’s folksiness?
Surely you’ve noticed the “folksy demeanor” and “folksy manner” and “folksy appeal” and “folksy mannerisms” of this “folksy former soldier”? If you somehow missed it, the “folksy governor of Minnesota” exudes a “folksy … informal vibe” and “folksy relatability.” But don’t forget his “folksy rebukes” and “folksy plain-spoken and sharp-tongued approach,” either.
All these quotes are taken from major media outlets.
Kamala Harris’ vice presidential pick is a dedicated cultural and economic leftist who happens to inhabit the body of an average middle-aged bowling team drinking buddy. And because he doesn’t live in D.C. or NYC, the political media has settled on a nonthreatening description. Who doesn’t like folksy?

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, one of the most prolific gaslighters in history, let out enough gas this past week to power the entire West Coast.
Asked about the Democrats’ choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to run for vice president alongside presidential nominee Kamala Harris, she emitted this:
“Tim Walz I know very well. He served in the House. To characterize him as left is so unreal. It’s just not – he’s right down the middle. He’s a heartland of America Democrat,” she said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Aug. 6.
Which tells you a lot about current-day Democrats no matter where they’re found.
“Right down the middle” comes from a woman who never saw an abortion, socialist agenda or bizarre lifestyle that she didn’t like. To her, deviancy is being an evangelical Christian or a conservative Catholic.

Unless there’s an unexpected defense of democracy at the upcoming Democrat Convention, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are going to be the party’s candidates in November. Tim Walz is pretty much an enigma to American voters as opposed to Kamala who we pretty much know is a disaster. If you say Tim Waltz fast enough, his name sort of sounds like a snack you might buy at a mom and pop store that was eliminated from existence during the COVID lockdowns.
You would go into the store and say, “I’d like a bag of ‘timwalz'” real fast, and you’d be getting a crunchy treat. But as a person and politician, he doesn’t look crunchy. Tim looks like a cuddly bit of poison. He’s kind of a quirky, personable guy who has ideas that will bite the average American and leave him in a cloud of pain and hurt.
