As Tim Walz follows the chaotic course of the second Trump Administration, he tells David Remnick that he feels that he “let people down.” “I still struggle with it,” he said. “It was my job to get this one.”

He did. The dems brought brass knuckles to a gunfight. They needed to arrest the Nazi on day one, parade him in chains, and hold him without bail until trial. Instead, we now have complete idiocy and chaos.
Trump has the support of about a third of the voters (or did...).
The ones who voted against Kamala because Gaza, or who stayed home because they didn't want to vote for a black woman, are the ones who screwed us.
I’d take drywall any day over Trump. And I believe she worked her way up the totem pole because she’s intelligent, knows the law and applies it correctly, and knows how to deal with criminal elements. She’s a smart cookie who could have achieved a lot of good. Unfortunately, stupidity voted.
Whatever excuse you wanna make up for her is fine. The results speak for themselves.
She was a total hack with zero personality, and a Joe biden simp. The democrats are skillful in nominating the least likable people and blaming the other party for losing.
No one ever talks about the US support as Israel destroyed Palestinian communities, killing 43,000 people. They dragged Biden and the Dems down with them. 91YoYo’s was the youth revenge vote.
Tim, you didn’t let anyone down. It’s the 7 million Democratic voters who stayed home on Election Day that let us ALL DOWN. Now we’re all paying the price‼️
I love Joe Biden but this failure lies squarely with him and Jill. He promised one term and he should have kept it. We would have had a robust primary that would have led to the best choices.
Trump ran for President for over 2 years. Then Biden had almost a year, stepping away only 4 months before the election. What Harris and Walz accomplished in 4 months is actually quite astonishing, imagine what they could have done if they would have had a year and all the campaign funds as well.
His debate was his worst moment, but I would bet the campaign told him some insane shit like “don’t be mean” or something. Was looking forward to him absolutely embarrassing Vance.
He's right to feel like that, sorry to say it, but the entire Democratic Party is at fault. They were playing Checkers while the despicable moral less Republicans played Chess
Sometimes ya gotta just let stupid play itself out agonizing yes … keep sharing knowledge, food, stories, music, accurate info, new info - share, share, share & be kind!!
If he runs again, he needs to axe whatever team was running the Harris campaign and send them where they can be useful. I’m sure there are latrines in Guam that need scrubbing.
Even if they had beaten Trump, he would still have been screaming and stirring up like he's done for the last 4 years.
He's made nothing but chaos for the past 8 years. At least he can't run after this.(Even though he's marketing Trump in 2028 hats. Anything for a $!)
Elections are the responsibility of state officials. There will be elections, though what true red states end up doing could be suspect. There's been a lot of effort put into making it more difficult to vote, redistricting, etc.
I don't think Democrats could ever have won. I think the election voting system was rigged.
Trump said he didn't need votes before the vote. Putin said Trump owed a debt to pay for getting him elected. Freudian slips of tongue????
It was so blatant that it’s insulting. Most of all that Harris refused to do a recount. I will never vote for democrats again, they betrayed us. We need a new party.
I don't think so. I followed twitter feeds and it looked like Democrats were bent on stopping Trump.
We might never know because Trump will destroy any evidence and no one involved will ever speak up now. Fear is in the mix with Trump and Putin now.
Democrats were in fear of Trump supporters doing another violent rampage. They wanted 2 maintain order. They probably thought it was best to sit out 4 years & let Trump flounder. They did not read Trump et al. well. He did mean 2 destroy the government & B Emperor. He is a Russian operative/fascist.
My friend, if you and I and everyone screaming about Project 2025 knew what Trump and the fascists were, you can damn well be sure that the President and VP, the FBI, DOJ, CIA, all knew.
I don’t believe there was a voting machine conspiracy. I believe people were indoctrinated by their party’s oversimplified lore, the media divided us like never before and we are so used to hearing lies that we’ve lost faith in the very concept of truth. Our own apathy and ennui allowed tyranny.

We need a new kind of energy in ‘28.
He can’t win. Let other more dynamic (and younger) dems go for it.
We need someone younger in the office.
We need a new Clinton or Obama (their ages then).
Or JFK.
Because they will have to work their arses off to fix what Trump is doing to us all.
We don't need another pensioner.
And several others.
We need new blood.
Who that is ... is something we all need to start working out.
For that, we need some actual journalism to happen.
Doesn't have to be a woman.

They made unfortunately clear they will not vote for a woman.
It’s wrong- and they fucked us all.
