It’s hard to think of anyone more salt-of-the-earth than Gov. Tim Walz. The contrast with cynical fat cats Donald Trump and J.D. Vance couldn't be clearer.
Unlike failson Donald Trump, Walz grew up as a regular guy in a small, midwestern town. “Community was a way of life,” he said, and he “learned to be generous with his neighbors.” Trump, on the other hand, ripped off his New York cronies. J.D. Vance insulted his community of origin.
Instead of inheriting millions from his father, Walz inherited a sense of service. Taking a cue from his Army dad, Walz joined the Army National Guard at age 17 and served for 24 years. Donald Trump dodged the draft with phony claims of bone spurs.
