Making his debut as a vice presidential candidate on Tuesday, Tim Walz staked his claim to Middle American values and argued that former President Donald Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, are “weird” and “creepy as hell.”

Walz, the governor of Minnesota, also got the packed arena laughing with a reference to a meme about Vance having relations with a couch.

“I can’t wait to debate the guy,” Walz said. “That is, if he’s willing to get off the couch and show up.”

“In Minnesota, we respect our neighbors and the personal choices they make, even if we wouldn’t make the same choice for ourselves,” he said. “There’s a golden rule. Mind your own damn business.”

    They didn’t. They got a super majority and passed the most comprehensive healthcare bill in history. And pulled the economy out of the biggest recession since the Great Depression. And approved Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor who created a 5/4 Democratic slant to the Supreme Court, allowing gay marriage to be legalized.

    And then in 2011 Osama Bin Laden was killed in his home in front of his grandchildren. All that sounds successful to me.
