I’m just a little bit overjoyed that Kamala Harris selected Tim Walz. <\/p>\n

How do I put this?  Tim Walz is Bernie Sanders in an Elmer Fudd costume. <\/p>\n

Kamala Harris felt the need, for whatever reason – we’ll come back to that – to to whatever sliver of the Democrat Party that is to her left, <\/em>to a governor of a state that is only academically in play.<\/p>\n

I’d been thinking Josh Shapiro was a lock – there’d even been some “congrats” videos “leaked” last weekend of various Democrat dignitaries congratulating Shapiro. <\/p>\n

He would have been a formidable choice.  That, too, we’ll come back to.<\/p>\n

Walz?  He’s got baggage.  And I”m going to keep reminding the world of that baggage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So – why not Shapiro?<\/p>\n

Because he’s a JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, and the Democrat party has a bit of an antisemitism problem.   They don’t want Chicago looking like, well, Lake Street. <\/p>\n

Anyway – to all the Dems chanting “Hahaha!  He’s America’s fun uncle!  Cope!”, I say “his place on the ticket is all the ‘cope’ I need, thank you very much”. <\/p>\n

So it’s Walz:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bring on the fall!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE: Ben Shapiro captures a lot of what I’ve been thinking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
