Kamala Harris has finally made her selection of her running mate, and it was probably the worst choice — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, someone who isn’t well-known across the country, except perhaps for his failure to properly stop the riots in 2020 that burned Minneapolis. Not exactly the best thing to be known for.

There are a ton of clips of him saying things that most Americans would find bizarre and/or disqualifying, as well as a lot of other baggage. It doesn’t seem a very smart choice for a far-left candidate to double down on the far-left. That might get some folks in Michigan, but it could well cost them Pennsylvania.
After the announcement, Harris and Walz held an event in Philadelphia that showed off how cringy they would be together. She was her regular bizarre self, and he was giving off Tim Kaine vibes. You know how that choice went.
He also made me think of Howard Dean and the infamous scream.
Harris immediately went straight to the cackle and incoherence, repeating over and over again, “Good evening!” as Walz looked Dean-like and weird in the background, making weird faces and smacking his hands together.
Harris claims she launched her campaign for president a couple of weeks ago, leaving out the coup on Biden and that she didn’t get one primary vote for the position.

So much for the “We want to save democracy” crew.
It sounded like a lot of what she said was from the speech she normally gives, once again raising the question, just like with Joe Biden, how much she can speak off the cuff.
Then she spoke about what she wanted to do, including helping people buy a home, own a business, and “build wealth.”
That was possibly her most ridiculous statement since everything that she and Joe Biden have done since they took office has worked against people’s ability to buy a home, own a business, and build wealth. Homes are out of reach for many because of the high interest rates and inflation. It’s hard to “build wealth” when you need to use your savings just to keep afloat and buy groceries that are so expensive under Biden-Harris.

Harris and Walz also chanted they were “not going back.”
Yes, that’s the problem. “Back” under Trump, we had low inflation and more peace in the Middle East. We had good foreign policy and a secure border versus the chaos that Harris helped to bring in.
Where do they want to go into the future? Harris opened her mouth and inserted her foot.
Now that she’s embraced him, she’s embraced all of his radical beliefs along with all of his failures, including the Minneapolis riots — where she also promoted the bail fund for people arrested during those riots.

Does she really know what she’s hooked herself to? Does she think socialism is like neighborliness, too? Does she think the red state areas are mostly “rocks and cows” like he does? That should work well, just as “deplorables” did for Hillary Clinton.

This is going to be great fun, with all the ads they’ll be able to do on the weirdness, the bad statements, and the bad policy.
