I didn't know much about Tim Walz at all, never heard of him to be honest until he's been on the stump. You mention that you did not know much about Tim Walz and now you think he might be the best pick. I do too.

So to come from no one knowing who you are, to going viral on Tiktok and other social media (for his "weird" comments on Trump), and for you, me, and others to go from not knowing him to thinking he might be the best pick. That speaks volumes.

Um ... why bother with rural voters? speak easy Jul 2024 #36

Biden beat Trump due to over performing in that group crimycarny Jul 2024 #40

I can see why you say that, go for the more numerous voters, but I also like stomping tRUMP into the ground SWBTATTReg Jul 2024 #56

If rural voters thought the Dems would "bother" with them, maybe they wouldn't rzemanfl Jul 2024 #58

It would be nice to switch from East/west coast candidates. LakeArenal Jul 2024 #2

I don't know anything about Tim Walz, other than what is posted here FakeNoose Jul 2024 #19

WTF Skittles Jul 2024 #68

I'm coming around to this too. alarimer Jul 2024 #14

Not a fan of Shapiro PlutosHeart Jul 2024 #49

Think about how OLD he looks in a campaign now energized by switching to a more youthful candidate. nt DontBelieveEastisEas Jul 2024 #16

He's the same age as Harris. Besides young people gravitate to bold and exciting ideas. Bernie Nanjeanne Jul 2024 #17

Ya, I agree, it just doesn't blend well with our messaging and what created the enthusiasm at this time. nt DontBelieveEastisEas Jul 2024 #21

Well if Trump drops Vance we can grab him up. He's really young! Nanjeanne Jul 2024 #22

There are millions of people that have as youthful appearance as Harris, we can do better from that pool than Vance nt DontBelieveEastisEas Jul 2024 #24

Oh yeah I saw the date. But RW authoritarians will go at that. irisblue Jul 2024 #27

Have you investigated what Alpha News actually is? Really shouldn't even be quoted here on DU. Nanjeanne Jul 2024 #29

Which is why in my post #26 I noted that is right leaning. I'm not willing to go into an argument with you. irisblue Jul 2024 #35

Why would I block you and I didn't think I was having an argument. I thought it was a discussion. Nanjeanne Jul 2024 #37

More info on the origin of this story from Daily Kos back in 2006 Nanjeanne Jul 2024 #33
