Pete Buttigieg once said whatever you do, Republicans will call it socialism so just do the right thing and don't worry. Trump has labeled Joe Biden radical left and Marxist, which is pretty hilarious and underlines Buttigieg's point. When Walz was accused of being too liberal, he didn't run and hide, he said oh the horror, children with full bellies getting an education! He's right. These are popular positions. Most people think children should be fed. Have a chance at education. And yes, legal marijuana is popular. I was afraid Harris would listen to consultant class, nearly all older prosperous white men, who always advise turning right and are usually wrong.
In this dog eat dog world, how many dogs will be left come election time? Walz is only 60 Good choice!
My dad is also a retired National Guard CSM. Can't wait to hear what he thinks and if he's ever met Tim. He's always been a republican but never voted for Trump, so it'll be interesting to get his take.
I would be much happier with this pick, if, the roles were reversed. Walsh for pres, Harris for vp. Short version. Harris has zero, none, nada, leadership skills.
Even though they compete and don't particularly in sports, they have similarities in demo's and politics. There are many transplants from one of the three states to another. Their politics align pretty close with probably MN the most left. It's kind of like OR,WA & CA aligning politically and if the GOV from either State was selected as VP candidate they would more than likely get support from the 0ther 2. If the Dems focus on the Economy, Choice and improved border management that will help.
There are a lot of meat and potato people in the mid west, why more than the left coast so they need to stay center left probably.
Can you imagine even a single voter saying, "I can't really decide between Harris and Trump, but Harris didn't pick our governor as her running mate, so I'm voting for Trump out of spite!" Seems a bit unlikely to me.
