Trump's Win Stops Walz From Being VP: A Look Back at 2016

Remember 2016? It felt like the whole world went bonkers. You had the "Bernie or Bust" folks, the "Never Trump" crowd, and then, of course, the Trump Train. And smack dab in the middle of all that chaos was Tim Walz, a Minnesota Congressman who was literally one heartbeat away from being Vice President.

But how did it all go down? Well, it all started when Hillary Clinton chose Tim Kaine as her running mate. Kaine was a safe pick, a seasoned politician who would appease the establishment. But what if Clinton had gone with a bold move? What if she had picked the up-and-coming star of the Democratic party, the charming and relatable Tim Walz?

Imagine it: Walz, a former teacher and soldier, a guy who understood the struggles of everyday Americans. He might have flipped some red states blue, or at least made the election a much tighter race. But then Trump happened. His populist message resonated with a large portion of the country, and the rest, as they say, is history.

So what went wrong for Walz? Was it Hillary's campaign? Was it Trump's shocking victory? Or maybe, just maybe, it was fate. It's hard to say. But one thing's for sure, the 2016 election was a wild ride.

And if Walz had gotten the VP nod, who knows what the next four years would have looked like? Maybe he would have been a great VP. Maybe he would have been a disaster. We'll never know. But one thing's for sure: the road not taken is a fascinating what-if in the world of politics.
