This week’s quote comes to us from none other than Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz who said on MSNBC last week that:

2. Assuming for the sake of the next question that the answer above is 1) C, what prompted Walz’s remark?
A) Vance’s comment that Democrats are all “childless cat ladies.”
B) Trump’s assertion before a room of Black journalists that Kamala Harris isn’t really Black.
C) The Trump campaign’s opening attack on Harris for enabling southern border crossings while Trump himself scuttled a bipartisan bill that would have… reduced southern border crossings.
D) Trump’s boast that he could have gotten a better deal from the Russians on last week’s prisoner exchange, never mind that some of those prisoners remained in Russian jails all the while Trump was President.
3. Walz is being vetted as a possible running mate for Harris. What makes him attractive? (Select TWO.)

Wow, spontaneous viral eruption of weirdness! Harris, Walz, NBC, ABC, CBS, AP, WaPo, The Guardian, The Independent, Salon, etc, etc, etc. all of a sudden talking about the weirdness of Republicans. Grass roots groundswell! You’d almost think that someone had prepped, planned, focus-grouped and trial-ballooned this! Weird!
