Walz — Comer Opens Congressional Investigation of Walz trips to China

RockyMtnHoo said:
Is Walz really all that progressive, or just a common sense moderate? The right wingers have made anything that’s not ultra-wacky conservative, into extreme-left “progressive”.

A common sense moderate? That’s Shapiro. Walz is way to the left of moderate.

I don’t think even Walz himself would try to claim he’s a moderate. He claims he’s a progressive and that progressives shouldn’t compromise their progressive values. He was quoted as saying one man’s socialism is another man’s neighborliness.

The strategy with Walz is “this guy believes in our progressive agenda but he’s relatable to people in the Midwest”. I don’t think the strategy with Walz has anything to do with him being moderate politically.

I don’t think you’re understanding at all what that comment by Walz means.

I do get what he means. I’m not calling the guy a socialist. But he’s an unapologetic progressive. No need to try and pretend he’s a moderate. And I’m not pretending JD Vance is a moderate either (nor do I even like JD Vance).

Ok, fair enough. Many of his specific policy positions are clearly moderate, though.

I think Progressive is what the Dems Stand for Some are "librul" which is a bit different

In a testament to his bipartisan approach in Congress, Walz was ranked the 7th most bipartisan House member during the 114th Congress, according to The Lugar Center and the Georgetown University McCourt School of Public Policy.

More people need to read WJB. Seems like most people know him as a failed presidential candidate or for the Scopes trial. The Cross of Gold speech is one of the greatest orations in American history.

The only thing I know about WJB is that HL Mencken wrote a scathing and highly entertaining obituary about him:
