[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Football coach, public school teacher, mentor, national guard for 20+ years, IVF dad, american patriot - I LOVE Tim Walz![/quote]
+1 love this from 18 years ago [twitter]https://x.com/dkelections/status/1821586317995847686?s=61&t=I7ZozTDGmPOsC7cmSRxwgA[/twitter][/quote]

He is so plain vanilla white old dude. He does not appeal to anyone except radical left, rioters or illegal immigrants. [/quote]

I am still trying to understand who is his base. He clearly not a person who appeals to minorities. He has no appeal to young voters. He is not very educated to appeal to city elites. Midwestern overweight middle age white woman? It was a poor choice. [/quote]

Young voters love him.

I don't have polling on how minorities feel about him - but I think generally, you'll find appreciation for a a white guy who is taking second chair to a Black woman and giving her all his support. See also, Joe Biden.

Of course they do.  He's the beloved social studies teacher to his students and reminds many young voters of the significant teacher in their lives.  He not only cared about his students, but he actively did things to help them.  That resonates with young voters who are so much closer to their school days.

They also love his political stances which are much more pragmatic and speaks to issues that are important to young voters.  Seeing problems and finding solutions is very midwestern and Minnesotan.  My spouse is from Minnesota and I recognize those traits about caring and helping.  So many people in many of the swing states hate the polarization of politics, but his midwestern plain-folks image and stories will resonate with them.  Someone who looks at problems with a practical "how to fix it" attitude rather than political rhetoric from their party is a breath of fresh air to many, many voters across the spectrum.  He's the every man which is so much more appealing to many than the puffed up cardboard caricature that so many politicians seem to be.[/quote]

I am the PP and I think that's really like. Plus I think he's got some of that Bernie grandpa thing going on. I was not a Bernie fan but I would walk through fire for Walz - I'm a middle aged white lady - but I think something they share beyond being older white guys, is that they both seem real. They don't seem manufactured in some lab to create politicians.

Bernie has a grumpy shouty guy side to him - I don't see that in Walz at all. He seems just so genuinely decent and nice. I could cry over how genuinely decent and nice he seems. I feel like we are being redeemed.[/quote]

He's the dad version of Bernie. His reels with his daughter Hope are sweet and funny. Everyone who actually knows him (conservatives and liberals) describe him as decent and kind. Conservative trolls trying "swiftboat 2.0" won't work because we know decency when we see it. It is already backfiring.[/quote]

Bernie is "crazy uncle Bernie", you know the weird family member that everyone has somewhere in their extended family.  The one that everyone puts up with a family gatherings because he's family.

Walz is Dad, whom everyone loves.[/quote]
