How will history remember Tim Walz?


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

He still got 2 years left to govern in Minnesota. I thought he was the best thing the kamala campaign did. But hiding him and forcing him to be a "politician" with rehearsed answers was the worst thing possible. He's at his best when he's his likeable self and talking about implementing things free school breakfast/lunches for kids.

Came here to post exactly this. How Dems went from "they're weird" to campaigning with Liz Cheney, I'll never understand. They put a muzzle on their biggest asset.

Isnt he one of the most beloved Governors in this country? Ive never heard a single person say a bad thing about him (other than psychotic MAGA nuts). I feel like this picture pretty much represents how people will remember him.

I'm sorry, but most of these people are forgotten within a few years. Presidents are really the only ones who get brought up, and even then there's a lot of irrelevant ones.

Not

I don't think people will blame him too much for the loss, so he can probably go back to being a Governor and remain in politics.

 

He might be remembered more than Tim Kaine, but that's about it.

As a terrible VP pick who didn't contribute to anything in her campaign

I think history will remember both him and Kamala as the people that did the best they could to stop the advance of fascism, but failed and the American people made a mistake by not supporting them. This wont happen until well after the Trump administration tho

Y'all various petty greivances against Tim will not be remembered.

He looks like a good guy, but I don't think he was the right choice VP

He gave the Harris campaign and the Democrats at large their biggest messaging win, and then was proceeded to muzzled and underutilized.

I guess it was that wasn't that strong of a message if it didn't stick

I liked him more than Kamala honestly.

A hot masculine male VP would have been more beneficial.

Positively. It's a shame he was so under-utilized and taken for granted. He had great political instincts and the Harris campaign decided to tell him to not be himself despite him being the most popular person on either ticket.

Or the Harris campaign didn't know what a strong message looked like. :coffee2:

It did stick, the campaign moved away from it; they undercut him at just about every turn.

I like him and the meme about how he defined republicans will always be famous.

 

:heart:

Underutilized and Mismanaged

I think he'll be remembered simply because of the memes of being the guy that called Republicans weird. It could stick for the next election.

 

Kind of crazy looking back at just 3 months ago when it happened, Democrat circles were so excited, and although I don't define myself by any party, I was actually hopeful we'd get him as president after Harris. He truly felt like the change we needed to move forward.
