What about the time he stopped to help an old lady push her car out of a snowbank? Did they even think to criticize him for that? I swear, GOP opposition research has gotten lazy.

The bar was so low all he had to do was order donuts without acting like a serial killer

According to a poll I saw a while ago he’s MORE POPULAR THAN TAYLOR SWIFT.
I was not aware such a feat was possible.
He should drop an album while he's on top!
It was hard for Republicans to compete with The Onion's devastating exposé alleging that Walz' "aw, shucks" persona is merely a facade concealing his true "gee whiz" tendencies.
A friend of mine was telling me about it, said Fox News was going on about how they "don't like the way he moves." Whatever that means.
"Twitchy Tim" is what Fox News decided on.
Why do these people always have to have some stupidass nickname for someone that’s not based on anything related to their platform or policies?
Because their god emperor TruMp likes those elementary school names and so they must follow
Because they don't want to talk about truth, the programs, policies etc.
Also how the hell do you sell Trump otherwise? He can't even align a coherent phrase to explicit anything.
Because some of them mentally never left high school. So they pick 'insults" that were "funny" and made them "cool", back when they peaked, and those appeal to the rest of the faux-news followers who did the same.
Yeah it was a rhetorical question. I wonder if anyone has ever attempted to point out to them that the “other side” doesn’t use these kinds of nicknames?
There's many such nickname based on trumps fake tan. We can't really claim superiority on the nickname thing. It IS funny though.
Right online and in memes. Are those used by cable news networks and candidates at their rallies?

Their smear campaign honestly made me like him more and I'm unironically considering moving to Minnesota as a direct result. The only problem is that I'm from the South and snow is scary.
Edit: Y'all are terrible at selling people on coexisting with snow
There are parts of the twin cities that are fully car free so you ~~dummy~~ don’t need to drive.
I'm originally from Florida and that's what I do. Although the light rail is a bit interesting sometimes.
Born and raised in MN. Snow gives you a chance to learn how to ski, and isn’t terrible to drive in when you relax and are patient.
It's been a few years since my trip to Milwaukee but, I remember it being just a bit more slippery than the first rain after a dry spell. Still very manageable and, like you said, just ease into it and it'll become natural.

The snow and the cold are no joke. Buy yourself some good winter clothing straight off the bat. Don't go for those cheap off brands. Oh no. You want to be warm, you want the good stuff. And remember to layer.
Depends on what you do. Plenty of people only have to walk from car door to heated building so crappy winter clothes isn't a huge deal. There are those people that wear shorts year round based on that principle.
Yes, but in the car there is still a bag of appropriate winter clothes for emergencies.

It's all in the socks and a good, warm hat. Wools over cotton, wet cotton from sweat or snow in cold enough weather can be dangerous.
Ideally no cotton.
My sister got me a llama wool beanie a few years ago, and I will sweat at near zero. That shit is WARM.
I have alpaca wool socks and they are just amazing. So comfortable and so warm. They were something like $22 for a pair, but they've held up pretty well and they've been worth it.
Llama (or probably alpaca) wool is no joke. There's a reason why most yarns are a blend and aren't 100% alpaca, it's usually too hot.
