    This is a silly Trump troupe. It’s silly because it won’t work.

    Tim Walz is a veteran, gun-owning football coach from rural Minnesota. He doesn’t code as an extreme liberal. Take a look at him and you see your teacher.Your coach.

    For a political attack to work, it has to be believable, and there is nothing believable about Tim Walz being a dangerous extremist

      Well, they can attack him on his policies. He has a track record of promoting unions, affordable healthcare, free meals for schoolchildren, paid family and sick leave… You know, things the rich and powerful somehow have managed to convince a huge chunk of uneducated working class are bad.

      I hope it doesn’t work. The much more important things with Walz is that he crosses the aisle to work with the other side, that he effectively compromises and doesn’t fall for this ‘zero sum’ bullshit. The fact that his position on the already inaccurate and distorted left-right spectrum is the point of concern is absurd.
