Was Walz a mistake?

Trump had been campaigning, and only campaigning, for a solid 9 years, and that was after 8 years of soft campaigning and decades of being a celebrity.

Trump is their Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian.

They understand that the face is just a face, not the leader. The face wins by being a packaged product for populus, backed by a hug machine behind the scenes. The face doesn't "deserve" to be President; the face's "time" hasn't come; it's not the face's "turn"? the face projects an image of an attractive fantasy. Since JFK won the Presidency with good makeup under hot TV lights, and even before, the constructed image matters more than anything else.

Ronald Reagan, Rosa Parks.

Jesus Christ as the VP wouldn’t have helped. Evil won.

Democrats: evil won!

Also democrats: why won’t those evil people vote for us?

The antichrist is seductive.

Jesus was concerned about His Father’s kingdom.

You mean we need to embrace progressive policies and stop selecting these far-right/moderates as our candidates.

You are one of the many reasons Trump won. Your hysteria is most unappealing.

But your hysteria is, sadly, appealing enough, cat barbecue fan.

I guess. I mean he spent most of his time in office calling into Fox News and playing golf.

Waltz couldn’t do anything to salvage this race.

PA was always a must win state. Why they didn’t pick Josh Shapiro as VP was baffling.

Baffling? They couldn’t choose him. Your party doesn’t like Jews. You know this.

Unlike MAGA rallies where folks regularly tout Nazi symbols and slogans???

Because he's Jewish.

Democrat voters cannot compromise. Republican voters can.

It's ironic because Democrat leaders can compromise, but Republican leaders cannot compromise m

Should have gone with Big Gretch. Whitmer is adored by most of MI. Harris/Whitmer would have been a fking force, IMO.

And also, if she'd had more than 100 days to campaign. Biden should have never run for reelection. It was selfish of him just like it was selfish of RBG to not retire when we could have protected her seat and instead died in office under Trump.

Shapiro would have campaigned better but the Dems miscalculated what would resonate or alienate by assuming more voters would hate the popular governor from a swing state because he’s Jewish.

Next time let’s pick dynamic candidates from swing states.

But would have securing only Pennsylvania be the difference between winning and losing? I don't think this would have moved the needle enough.

Yeah but they also lower taxes for millionaires, which is more important.

He never looked presidential. He looked like a HS coach. He tried.

I am a democrat woman and a fed who has been crying all morning and feel like this will irrevocably damage some of my familial relationships but truly this is as close to a mandate as one gets. The country wants him. They will have to live with him. Happy to be in a blue bubble. Deeply worried about my job. Thinking the D's need to find a way to make people hear that their message is not all about DEIA crap and more about making life better for the average american.

But it is. That's why you lost. You're on team discrimination and censorship and child sexualization.

That's just the only message you decided to hear. I heard a lot about helping small businesses, capping food prices, growing infrastructure and protecting women's rights.

I don't even understand the bolded. Trump's entire campaign is built on discriminating against, at minimum, anyone who disagrees with him. You all are effing hypocrites. Believing people who lie to you and basically ADMIT that they lie to you just because they look like you. You get what you voted for. I hope you enjoy it. I think it's 50/50 whether there is another election in 4 years.

I'll help you understand. Your "DEI" stuff is just thinly-veiled discrimination against people for their immutable characteristics (race, sex) and hostility toward them for their non-woke beliefs. (Even the "helping small business" trope couldn't be implemented by this past administration without attempting to discriminate against certain people based on skin color.) It's been going on for years and people are finally sick of it enough to push back.

Rampant crime, leftist prosecutors and politicians letting violent thugs off with a slap on the wrist while throwing the book at any decent citizen who tries to defense himself or others. Throwing open the border and importing millions of people from the third world to shift demographics and destroy communities in the hopes of getting more dependent voters, all in a quest for power. Importing Haitians into Ohio by the tens of thousands? Really?

You people are so clueless and tone-deaf. We really should just split the country up in half and go our separate ways.

Walz has nothing to do with why the GOP routed the Dems in the Senate as well. The fact that the Dems lost the presidency and the Senate races means they have much larger policy issues beyond Walz.

If by "policy issues" you mean the Constitutional and Legislative compromise to guarantee extra rural voting power to protect slavery, then yes.
