Do you think Tim Walz seems like just a cool everyman?

[Anonymous]

What a great VP he will be.

Yes

No

[MisterWack]

Football coach, doesn’t understand vegan daughter well, teacher, has a beautiful wife, and mocked JD Vance with the ‘couch’ meme lmao. Who wouldn’t like this guy?

I love this man for getting so much done in Minnesota. Making sure all children have food at the cafeteria for free, increasing child tax credit, fighting for wage increases, having parental leave when bearing a child 15 weeks off paid, etc.

Walz Accomplishments
- $2.3 Billion investment into state’s education
- $300 million for public safety (police) to combat crime
- Ended non compete worker contracts giving workers more freedom if fired/searching for new job, pushed the envelope with paid leave, increased protections for workers of hospitals, Amazon warehouses, schools, nursing homes and more!

This man rocks! Again, increased protections for workers of hospitals, Amazon warehouses, schools, nursing homes and more! We all know how much Amazon treats the working class, good to see a Governor actually help his fellow working man!

Yes "too cool" to be bothered stopping the burning of Minneapolis.
Also "Too cool" to impress his former co-workers who generally felt betrayed and unimpressed by him intellectual. Which i find rather strange for a politician. Then again he is one of the few people nearly as far left as Kamala.

[msc545]

Nobody burned down Minneapolis except in your fantasies.

[exitseven]

He should be the recipient of this award.

[In_Trance]

If he is VP, he'll be the ass clown everyone is making fun of. He sucks dick like every other VP. Fuck that guy

[Anonymous]

His battalion was going to be deployed to Iraq and he chickened out and didn’t go.

[monorprise]

His unit was rather upset about that having a new leader right before combat.

[Opinion Owner]

@monorprise

I know that, and some dork on here said his unit praised him. Whether he chickened out or not, he's going around on the campaign trail saying he went into combat.

[monorprise]

He learned his lesion during his governmental campaign, no their problem was he abandoned them at the last moment right before they were going to go into combat.

Effectively sticking them with a brand new leader to avoid assuming any personal risk. That is why they were pissed at him.

It really does tell you something about the guy thou.

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, he’s a piece of shit.

[gorydetails]

He’s not going to fuck you now matter how much you fanboy.

[psychobabble]

No, Timmy Tampons is a sick twisted pedophile.

[msc545]

He seems like a good man with a good heart.

[monorprise]

@msc545 Not what I've heard from the people who know him. But lets just give him the benefit of the doubt say he is personally good.

The results he got in Minnesota after nearly 2 terms have not been so good:
www.forbes.com/.../

[msc545]

@monorprise Yes, well, that is Forbes. What can you expect? It is a publication for the very rich.

[monorprise]

@msc545 You mean its a magazine for those who can afford to pay his taxes, unlike the people leaving his state.

[msc545]

@monorprise That is a very cheap comment. He does not set the taxes, and they are not his fault.

[monorprise]

@msc545
I should have said all Laws, executive regulations and taxes as the first 2 really cost a lot more than mere taxes.
Regardless in every cases in nearly every state the Governor is the dominate political force in defining what is and is not enforce. Particularly if like in Minnesota for the last few years your party controls both houses of the state legislator.

it is those rules, regulations, and taxes which makes Minnesota less competitive than nearly 3/4th of the states.

[msc545]

@monorprise Despite your temporizing, the governor does not set the tax rates, and they are not his fault.

[msc545]

@monorprise Your problem with him is that he is a Democrat.

[monorprise]

@msc545 I was against trump picking the North Dakota governor for the same reason. Although in the North Dakota case he had a solid excuse of the feds withdrawing oil permits which dominated North Dakota's economy.

Tim Walz is far more responsible for next door Minnesota's problems. Regardless both of them failed to deal with the adversity effectively making them lesser candidates than the ones who had.

That said Pennsylvania's Governor Josh has a poor track record too but he's only be in office a year to fix it. Thou It seems rather unlikely he would being part of the previously failed administration.

Vance thou similarly new to the job was by contrast was a little more successful in the private sector.
Regardless I would not have picked Vance over his best friend Vivek Ramaswamy who is clearly the far smarter of the 2.

Governor Ron Desantis would have been even more ideal politically having made his state very successful, however the 12th amendment means that creates problems with the State of New York.

[msc545]

@monorprise Trump doesn't want anyone smart around him, and DeSantis is about as popular as Satan presently.

[monorprise]

Walz was quite popular like Joe at one point yet also quite ineffective. @msc545 Successful people act like adults and judge their leaders on the basis of their results not what other people think about them.

Ron DeSantis got good results for his state therefore would likely be a good president unlike Walz.

[msc545]

@monorprise What good results did DeSantis get?

[monorprise]

@msc545 DeSantis has led Florida to be of the fastest growing states in America right up there with Texas.

Without Florida, America economically would be in decline.

[msc545]

@monorprise Growing how - is it getting bigger?

[monorprise]

Florida is adding people and dollars to its economy @msc545

[msc545]

First of all, I don't think that's true, but even if it is crediting DeSantis with it is like awarding the rooster a trophy for the sun coming up.

[monorprise]

@msc545

If the Sun never came up for 45 of the other Roosters many of which were otherwise in basically the same circumstances.
Then Yes it is reasonable to assume something this Rooster did had something to do with the Sun coming up became it didn't for anyone else.

We call that scientific deduction, maybe we can get more roosters to try doing the same thing and figure out exactly what it was that made Florida soo successful?

[msc545]

@monorprise You need to define "successful".

[monorprise]

@msc545 Successful for a governor is to make his state a desirable place to live and work.
To this end I believe I have in the references given, in that lots of people want to live in Florida and there is lots of money that wants to work there.

Fewer and fewer people want live and work in Minnesota fewer still in California, the States of the current VP and Presidential candidates.

[msc545]

@monorprise Many people do not want to live in Florida due to the humidity, the hurricanes, the bus, and DeSantis.

[msc545]

[monorprise]

@msc545
All valid reasons to avoid the State like all of the gulf coast states particularly for democrats.
Not every state is for everyone, that is the beauty of Federalism.

Nonetheless more people are today committing to vote with their wallets and feet to live there than all but a few states, and any democrat state. A commitment of their feet and lives far stronger than any ballot they might cast at a whim on any day.

worldpopulationreview.com/.../fastest-growing-states

Only South Carolina and Idaho are doing better with Texas right behind.

[msc545]

I live in California. The state of California is the most prosperous state in the entire country and it makes Florida and the rest of the states you named look like miniature banana. Republics. State of California is successful primarily because for the most part it stays out of politics and particularly the kind of politics that the lunatics in your states engage in.
