     It’s not every day a former #PublicSchool #teacher ends up on a presidential ticket. But for the students & teachers who crossed paths w/ #TimWalz during his decade teaching in #Mankato — a midsize city south of #Minneapolis — it’s easy to look back now & see the signs that he could find himself in exactly that position.

     #TimWalz, a second-term governor & chair of the Democratic Governors Assn, does not hail from a traditional battleground state — #Minnesota has supported a Republican presidential candidate only once since 1960. But his credentials as a #veteran & #gun owner [👎🏻] who previously represented a #Republican-leaning, rural part of Minnesota in #Congress could help #Harris appeal to working-class #White voters who have turned away from Democrats & helped fuel #Trump’s political rise.

     Obviously. If he molested you that makes him an easy and controllable blackmail target.
