The teacher and the farmer: Governor Tim Walz for president and former MT Senator Jon Tester for vice president. [View all]

I think this would be a powerful, extremely energizing, and vote-getting team for the 2028 presidential ticket.

Governor Walz has already won the hearts of many Americans, and Jon Tester has already proven he has the courage to stand up to Rump, as witnessed by Tester's successful opposition to Rump's nomination of Ronny "The Candyman" Jackson for surgeon general. And I don't know if you've seen Jon Tester, but he is a BIG guy. There would be no demeaning "Little Jon Tester" jokes as Rump would be physically intimidated by Jon. Weird to have to take that into account, but when you're dealing with a bully with the maturity of a third grader . . .

I have no idea if either of these gentlemen are willing to be the candidates, but I think it'd be awesome if they did step up to be the leaders of the Democratic Party.
