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.

        Like as if Biden did not find Israel. 19 billion dollar of our money As a Democrat, I expected Biden to do better. We already know trump is crap. One worse does not make another one good. Both parties are bad. United States is doomed with just two parties. I don’t want any of these two parties. What’s you take?

        If you want to win my vote and many others, know your base well democrats. We are not here to elect the least worse, we are here to elect the best out there for this nation. And don’t come btching here because u guys literally are the one that said our vote does not count before the election. may be it suddenly does? See ya in 2028. Hope u learn some lesson.

    “We wouldn’t be in this mess if we’d have won the election — and we didn’t,”
    (Implies that if they(H&W) would have won we wouldn’t be in this mess)

    has quite the different sentiment than

    “Tim Walz says ‘we wouldn’t be in this mess’ if it wasn’t for him and Harris” (Implies its their fault we are in this mess)

    These headlines -_-

    Not that I prefer straight bias but we got conservative media calling these people cutting all of everyone’s safety nets “heroes” and this is supposed to be liberal media straight misquoting for clicks?

    We are in the worst timeline.

      From the article:

      “We have to make sure that Americans know it’s not just that Donald Trump is bad but we’re offering them something better,” he continued. “And I think that’s what we need to work on.”

      That’s an admission of culpability.

      I do blame them, though. They could have ridden the coattails of Biden’s withdrawal all the way to victory, but instead Hartis capitulated and palled around on stages with Republicans instead of Walz.

      The failure of the Democrat campaign has a lot of causes, but none more so than the failure of leadership.
