Walz, Because Weird.

He was the first to say it. Now, everyone is using that word to describe Trump and the MAGAts.

So, he'll be the VP nominee.

Or so I say. But, I don't know crap about Kamala Harris's choice, so take it for what it's worth.

He's our Governor, and he makes sense almost all the time. That's rare enough, in itself.

Again, though, what do I know?

is what I’ve seen since the process began. At first I thought pick the astronaut because astronaut. Then I heard Walz speak. He’s so likeable! And he started the weird phenomenon just by speaking like a normal person.

I want normal! And from what I’ve read he’s done some very good things.

But maybe Kamala has other criterion. We’ll see!

I’ll be OK with any of Harris’ picks — but personally speaking, Tim and Pete are tops on my list….

a great replacement for him as Governor. First Native American governor, for that matter. That'd be cool for sure. Peggy Flanagan will also do a great job here.

Have been calling trump weird for years. That segment was funny. Not sure what your problem is in giving credit to those who have been saying it for years. It doesnt take anything away from Walz. Poster gives him credit for making it stick.

Doesn't matter. Walz saying it caught on now. 2018 was 6 years ago. Funny that you think it matters.

But, OK. Really...

I thought I had a favorite, but I just fell in love with Walz, so I don't know. I'm sure any of them will be great.

If you want maximum contrast between us and them, he's the guy.
