Summary

Former vice presidential nominee Tim Walz criticized Trump for economic chaos while taking personal responsibility for the situation during an MSNBC interview.

“We wouldn’t be in this mess if we’d have won the election — and we didn’t,” Walz told Chris Hayes. He called Trump the “worst possible business executive” and praised the Wall Street Journal’s editorial criticizing Trump’s tariff war.

Walz emphasized Democrats must offer something better, not just criticize Trump. Recently, he acknowledged a leadership void in the Democratic Party and admitted spending too much time combatting Trump’s false claims about immigrants.

    If biden hadn’t been such a mildewy dishrag of a president, his VP might have won. Now insult me more since it’s all centrists do when people expect better of them.

      And again this is about you hating Biden. Which is fine, hate him. But how long are you going to blame everything on him like a petulant child?

      Next week when you stub your toe you’re going to blame him?

      His Vice President chose to run for office. She chose the platform that she chose to run with. It wasn’t Joe Biden’s platform it wasn’t even loosely tangential to Joe Biden’s platform. But it’s his fault in your eyes because you feel that she stole his platform…

      Go back and reread my anecdote about the police. You made it even more relevant.

        When he bears responsibility, I will blame him. If that pisses off his worshipers, good. Running as a continuation of biden’s unpopular presidency lost.

        His Vice President chose to run for office. She chose the platform that she chose to run with. It wasn’t Joe Biden’s platform it wasn’t even loosely tangential to Joe Biden’s platform.

        What daylight existed between her and biden? Because the line I kept hearing whenever anyone suggested she move to his left on anything was that she was his VP and she couldn’t differ from him.
