To the extent Kamala Harris is knowable, given all her flipping and flopping, notwithstanding her inability to articulate a single off-script thought without getting hopelessly lost and confused... assuming her word-salads are even slightly comprehensible, she HAS been around for a while and is, at least, recognizable.
Tim Walz, however, remains, an unknown; very few people could pick him out of a very short line up of pudgy, balding, aging pajama boys. Before Kamala Harris chose him to be her running mate, an equal number of people had no idea who Tim Walz was, biographically or politically... he was a non-entity beyond the borders of Minnesota.
Cue a dear friend who lives in Minneapolis. She says Tim Walz destroyed the state with his far-left politics; he's referred to as "Walnutz." But his anonymity is understandable; the North Star State doesn't make many headlines... except when rioters, looters, and arsonists pillage, plunder, and burn its capital city to the ground... with permission and approval from Tim Walz.
But now, we're getting to know Tim Walz, and what's being revealed is troubling. For instance, he was arrested for drunk driving... 92 miles per hour with a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit. And then, he tried to blame his failed field sobriety test on hearing loss due to exposure to artillery fire.
Speaking of his military record, Tim Walz claimed title to a rank he never officially held. When asked to explain, he blamed, the "confusion" on "poor grammar." Worse, Tim Walz also lied about his actual service; he claimed to have carried "weapons of war" in combat. In fact, he affirmatively avoided deployment to a war zone... instead of accompanying his unit to Iraq, he quit.
And then, there's the misleading claims Tim Walz has made about his high school head coaching career. Actually, Tim Walz was a volunteer assistant coach, although he CAN be credited with one head coaching accomplishment... he organized the school's Gay-Straight Alliance, which may explain why, as governor, Tim Walz signed legislation requiring Tampon dispensers be installed in all of Minnesota's school bathrooms... girls AND boys.
There's much more to learn about Tim Walz... for those who want to waste their time. After November 5, it's very likely he'll disappear into the same black hole of political anonymity in which you'll find the likes of John Sparkman, Thomas Eagleton, and Lloyd Bentsen... amongst many other losing vice-presidential candidates. But...
If Kamala Harris wins, her choice of Tim Walz will prove to be a wise decision because he's sure to install Tampon dispensers in the White House bathrooms, which will be well-received by, and very useful to an equally pudgy, balding, aging pajama boy named Doug, better known as...
Kamala Harris's husband.
