'Poor' It On: Tim Walz Thought His Lack Of Wealth Would Buy Over Cash-Strapped Voters

Posted • December 14, 2024: Former Democrat Vice-Presidential candidate Tim Walz is doing something he rarely, if ever, did on the campaign trail - an interview. Now, we see why. He’s now ‘reflecting’ on the catastrophic Kamala campaign. He thought him being the poorest choice (money-wise) was a huge selling point. Oh, Tim. We’ll let him explain. Tim Walz said he thought it was a "flex" that he was the poorest VP candidate in history, says he thought people would respect that he has to "pay his bills." They still don't get it. "I thought it was a real flex when the Wall Street Journal pointed out that I might have been the least wealthy person to ever run for vice president." - "I thought that would be something people say, well, this guy knows where we're coming from. He's had to pay his bills." - "So there were folks that weren't voting for us, would be the very folks that I care that our policies impact. And that disconnect was obvious in the results."

Tim’s lived in China and it shows. Because, he was certainly thinking more like a Chinese communist than an American capitalist. When you say you’re the ‘poor’ candidate, voters interpret that as you being financially illiterate. So he thought he was "flexing" by virtue signaling his relative poverty? Maybe don't spend all your money going to China Tim. Maybe electing someone who can't manage money is not a good idea. Of course, knucklehead Tim tried this ‘I’m poor’ tactic against JD Vance, someone who grew up in actual poverty and escaped to better himself. Walz sabotaged himself by repeatedly demeaning Vance for growing up poor and working his butt off to succeed. There's a lot of us struggling to do that, however you define success (paying our bills!) and Walz called ALL OF US "weird". May he please just disappear. When you’re a kook it doesn’t matter how much money a person has or doesn’t have that people remember. 😆

No matter how you present yourself, if you’re a high-kicking, hand-waving weirdo you’re dead in the water. Also, the ‘poor’ act doesn’t play as authentic when your running mate is flashing jewelry that’s worth more than most voters make in a year. The "flex" may have been underscored by the fact that Kamala frequently wore a $70,000 Tiffany's necklace while campaigning. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Getcu8QXIAAhDbP?format=jpg&name=medium -- They spent 5,000,000 X his salary in 3 months of campaigning. Shut up. (…)
