The Republicans must have been very, very good this year because they got an early Christmas present in Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The bumbling Democratic vice-presidential candidate, like his vice-presidential running mate, has difficulty forming coherent sentences and is prone to lying, babbling and spewing nonsensical words. Not to mention the flailing arms and twitching leg. And let’s not even get started on his rotten wife.
However, one repeated message from the 60-year-old Walz comes through noisy and clear: He is very upset that JD Vance, a self-made man, has accomplished so much and is barely 40 years elderly. It’s a loser of a talking point that Walz, oddly enough, repeatedly highlights at campaign events. In Tim Walz’s world, escaping grinding poverty, enlisting in the U.S. Marines, attending Ohio State University and Yale University Law School, becoming a best-selling author and venture capitalist, and getting into the U.S. Senate is nothing to brag about is chosen. Not to mention Vance’s marriage, fatherhood, and conversion to Catholicism, traits that resonate with the enormous majority of Americans.
JD Vance is the embodiment of the American dream that not only comes true, but comes true in spectacular fashion. For Tim Walz, however, Vance’s story is one that should be mocked as his own wordsHe “doesn’t even know what a venture capitalist does.”
The wonderful Scott Jennings summed it up perfectly when he offered these thoughts on the pre-presidential debate over Tim Walz:
This guy is the only teacher in America who brags that none of his students got into an Ivy League school. He had a momentous press interaction with our Dana Bash, who asked him about the inventions on his own resume and his response was essentially, “I don’t understand words well.” I mean, he’s a jerk. He gets a free pass because he ran under Harris. He gets very little press. They don’t let him speak to the press for a reason.
I would like to get one thing out of this debate. I want JD Vance to go out there and get under his skin. [Walz] has a legendary hot-tempered temper. Many governors do this, but apparently he does. I want JD Vance to go out there and explain to him why he denigrates JD Vance’s story: Small town America ends up doing something better with his life, which is what we should want for every child.
It’s really strange, isn’t it, that Walz would brag about being such a bad teacher that none of his students got into an Ivy League college? As the kids would say, weird flex, bruh. Only in the twisted world of the state-of-the-art Democratic Party does failure count as success and success counts as failure.
Walz continued to mock Vance’s achievements at a campaign rally on Tuesday:

What exactly is going on here? As a political commentator noted“Tampon Tim says: “Vote for me. JD Vance is smart and I’m an idiot,” and he’s exactly right. Tim Walz continues to lay out why voters should support JD Vance. Who exactly is telling their campaign that this line of attack is a winning campaign strategy? It essentially tells Democratic voters that they shouldn’t dream big, strive for success, or work hard to overcome life’s obstacles. In short, he dashes their hopes and encourages them to vote for more misery.
