I'm not sure what Tim Walz is thinking. The Minnesota governor and Democratic vice presidential nominee is getting a ton of media scrutiny " as he should " because Vice President Kamala Harris chose him as her running mate. And it's not all painting him in a positive light. A growing number of examples show Walz either exaggerating or lying about his past. We're not close to George Santos territory here (the former Republican congressman who was outed for making up huge swaths of his past, as well as fundraising numbers), but it's still concerning. These are unnecessary, unforced errors, and they should make voters question what they can trust when Walz speaks.

You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose. Mario Cuomo's adage has been updated and adapted by his successors in the modern Democratic Party. The duality they present to voters either side of an election is a deception that has defined American politics and culture for the past 20 years. As they campaign for office, they present a kind of idealized version of themselves to the electorate as mainstream Americans, seeking merely to bring a little unity and compassion to a fundamentally great country in need of reform. Once in office they act as if they have a mandate to remake a benighted country, to reorder an unjust system, to replace American exceptionalism with European social democracy, and to rewrite the nation's values with the precepts of their cultural Marxism.
