Ah, Tim Walz—Minnesota’s very own traveling salesman for the Democratic Party, now taking his show on the road to Wisconsin.
Fresh off his party’s latest electoral failures, Walz rolled into Eau Claire to host what he’s calling a “grassroots town hall,” but let’s be real—this was a campaign stop disguised as community outreach. The event, dramatically titled The People v. Musk (because apparently, a guy who builds rockets and electric cars is the real villain in America), was less about hearing from voters and more about selling the same old Democratic talking points.

Tesla makes the best-selling car in the world.
Tesla is revolutionizing transportation.
And Democrats are rooting for it to fail.

“We are in a fight like we haven’t seen,” Walz declared, as if he were some kind of wartime general rallying the troops. And what, exactly, is this existential battle he’s referring to? If you guessed Orange Man Bad, congratulations—you’ve cracked the Democratic Party’s entire political strategy. Because while America is dealing with inflation, crime waves, and a border crisis, Walz and company are laser-focused on attacking Elon Musk and pushing a state supreme court race as the single most important election in the country.
The town hall wasn’t exactly a bipartisan affair. Every single one of these events has been organized by local Democratic groups, meaning they’re less about hearing from everyday Americans and more about reinforcing whatever narrative the party wants to push. Even MPR News admitted that Walz’s first event in Des Moines drew “mostly friendly questions from a Democratic-heavy crowd.” Translation: This isn’t about finding common ground with voters—it’s about energizing the base with more of the same fear-mongering.
And let’s not ignore the not-so-subtle presidential aspirations in play here. Walz keeps insisting he’s not interested in 2028, yet he’s suddenly ramping up travel, visiting other states, and doing the whole “I don’t have all the answers, but I do have a platform” routine. It’s the classic political playbook—pretend you’re just doing your duty while quietly building a national profile. The problem? Nobody seems to care. A CNN poll from early March found that a whopping 1% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents think Walz represents the party’s “core values.” Yikes. Even Kamala Harris is polling higher than that.

Minnesota Republicans are already calling him out for abandoning his actual job. House Speaker Lisa Demuth pointed out that Walz has been too busy galavanting around the country to even schedule regular meetings with state legislators. But hey, why focus on crime, high taxes, and the mess he left behind when he can be in Wisconsin pretending to be a national figure? Congressman Derrick Van Orden summed it up perfectly: “It appears he has forgotten what happened in November when Wisconsinites rejected him at the voting booth.”
Walz, of course, isn’t letting reality get in the way of his narrative. He’s warning that “nobody is going to sweep in and save us,” a dramatic way of saying, “We need to keep losing elections so I have a reason to keep making speeches.” His whole pitch is that Democrats need to do something—even though they controlled Congress and the White House for two years and somehow managed to make everything worse.
This isn’t about Wisconsin voters or even about real town halls. This is about Walz auditioning for the national stage, hoping that by yelling loud enough about Republicans, someone in the Democratic Party will eventually take him seriously. But given how little enthusiasm his own base has for him, he might want to focus on fixing Minnesota before trying to sell himself as the next big thing.
