Let’s have some fun. Let’s compare the best known candidate on the national political scene (Donald Trump) with the least known candidate (Tim Walz, the running mate of Kamala Harris). Let’s start with religion, a big deal in the minds of many American voters.
Even though Donald Trump doesn’t go to church or pray or obey the 10 Commandments and even though he holds the Bible upside down and cashes in by selling special Trump-endorsed Bibles, he likes to flaunt his Christian credentials before crowds of adoring white evangelicals at rallies and conventions. Tim Walz, a loyal Lutheran, takes a different approach. For example, he recently stated that, “We don’t post the 10 Commandments in our classrooms in Minnesota, but we provide free breakfasts and lunches.
” Wow, how radical! What would Jesus say? Okay, let’s get down to brass political tacks. Donald Trump has never won the majority of votes when he’s run for public office. Never.
He lost to Hillary Clinton by 3 million votes and he lost to Joe Biden by 6 million votes. Tim Walz ran for a seat in Congress six times, and he won every time. Then he ran for governor of Minnesota and won.
The message is clear: Minnesotans love Tim Walz. Did you know that Trump only got 12% of the vote in his old home town (Manhattan) in the 2020 presidential election? Remember that old refrain, “to know, know, know him is to love, love, love him?” Let’s just say that Trump, doesn’t, er, wear well with those who know him .
