Comparing to JD Vance that said “I’m a never Trump guy” You need a whole lot more than the garbage they have so far.

That makes sense. Were they seriously thinking they could still pull a swiftboat? Do they also think they need to find a plumber or talk about Willie Horton some more?
The GOP grievance playbook is so worn out at this point that I feel like their only option might just be to start governing.

Did they try anything after the swift boat effort?
I haven’t heard a negative thing about this guy in weeks.

Because he is a decent, earnest person, and people recognize when they see decent, earnest people.

You mean denigrating his military service and calling him Tampon Tim fell flat from a guy that sent a small town in his home state down the river without a paddle? Huh, weird.

People who aren’t MAGA are typically not bad at identifying utter dogshit for what it is.

Just an idea for trump’s campaign team: maybe instead of attempts at smearing him with falsehoods you could focus on actually creating some policies?

They don’t have much to work with. I think the swift boat crap worked because John Kerry always came across as a bit smug and was an established member of the oligarchy. Walz is genuine and likable, the kind of guy you’d want as your neighbor.

The most “devastating” things said about Governor Walz was said by The Onion.

It’s interesting how the smear stories being posted here stopped just as quickly as they started, like a light switch got turned off.

Yeah, it’s easy to attack immigrants, the majority of people don’t know any, or if they do they don’t realize they do. However, we all know a dad like Walz, and he either used to be a great guy, and went down the Fox News rabbit hole, or is still a great guy.

Reminds me of when the church of scientology tried to dig up dirt on the south park guys and came up with only the fact that their dads and they smoke weed sometimes. No dirt, just cool dads.

MAGA media is in such a targeted bubble that they truly think they are more in tune with the zeitgeist than they actually are.
It’s funny coming across the MAGA grifters that are so clearly fake burners or just paid shills because it’s obvious they are basically given a script of the week to harp on.
Then the MAGA faithful see what they’re supposed to be talking about and in turn unfortunately curse us with their poor attempts at political conversation (if you’d call it that even).
It’s clockwork. It’s basically a MLM scheme

Lol. When they’re trying to spread shit like “Man who served 4 years in Armed Forces claims stolen valor against opponent who served 24 years” what do they expect?
Tim Walz is a National Treasure.

I’m so happy to see this headline. I really wish our national political discussion could grow the fuck up, and this news gives me at least some slight hope that fear, lies, and otherizing don’t always win the day.
Remember how John McCain steered a supporter away from an extreme characterization of Barack Obama?

That’s how an honest opponent operating in good faith would have dealt with Governor Walz. He’s a good person and a dedicated public servant who you happen to disagree with, dumbasses.

I hope he looks down the barrel of the camera at the VP debate and says “ok, you might like trump. You might hate the establishment. You might not like Kamala Harris.
“But this guy [pointing at Vance] should not be a heartbeat away. You know why he seems so weird? Because he’s totally fake.
“He hated trump, now he loves him. He went to Yale and was a venture capitalist in San Francisco, then pretended to be a hillbilly. He’s a fake and a phony and he cannot be trusted.”

Tim Walz is Teflon! And they know it. Which is why most of them have given up as of late trying to attack him.
It’s going to be really interesting to see what attack strategies Vance tries during the vice presidential debate.

It’s time to burn the GOP at the post.

They tried to get his lil bro to smear him and it turns out it was typical lil bro shit.
