Anyone who thinks clinton won't win Minnesota, call me. I have title to some vacation property on Europa I'm willing to let go for a very reasonable price.

A Republican in any statewide race in Minnesota needs a minimum of 60% of the popular vote to overcome the voter fraud.

Reagan couldn’t even win Minnesota, if Trump can win Minnesota he wins EVERYWHERE

Reagan probably did win MN in 1984. See my post #20.

remember, Al Franken won Minnesota, Al Freakin Franken,

Only after an endless recount where they kept finding more ballots, including the trunk of someone's car.

No, I'm not making that up.

He may lose a traditionally red state or two, but he looks like he may very well turn a few blue states red, so he’s ahead of the game.

Minneapolis is HARD CORE Bernie Land.
It is possible that a large portion of them will stay home.

Trump moving ahead means their collars are tightening.

Interpretation: The Dems have perfected voter fraud in the swing states, so those are locked up. They haven’t had enough time or bribed enough officials in traditionally safe Blue states, so those are where her clock is getting cleaned.

Minnesota? If Trump takes it, its a short night.

If Hillary can’t win Minnesota, where can she win?

I read this and I can't help thinking back to the 2000 campaign. Some polls polls (Zogby and others) showed Bush to be "within striking distance" of taking California. Republican ads started popping up on the TV and Bush spent time running up and down the Central Valley that he could have spent in Florida. Bush lost California big time and I've always believed the optimistic polls where a setup.

When looking at polls that promise shiney but historically improbable opportunities at this late stage, the Trump campaign should ask themselves which polls and who is paying for them? What is their track record in the state or states in question? If I were with the Trump campaign I'd think hard before diverting a lot of resources to all but a handful of traditionally blue states. By now the campaign has their path to 270 in place and should not allow themselves to be distracted. Better to be blown out in MN and WI than to loose FL and NC by a whisker.

That was mainly because Minnesota was Mondale’s home state, not because Minnesota is much more liberal than states like CA or NY. But yeah, it’s hard to imagine Trump losing if he can pull off Minnesota.

“Because there is no EARTHLY reason a party would pick hillary as their nominee.”

Hubris.

I doubt Trump spends much if any time in Minnesota from here on out. I believe the state is too far gone to waste the time there. But it is a good sign for many of the battleground and light blue states that Trump is not being blown out in Minnesota (I would call Minnesota “medium” blue).

Maybe people are waking up and smelling the coffee about what is going on in Minnesota..its no longer like it was portrayed on Little House On The Prairie(Yeah I know it was just a TV show but still) its full of Muslims, especially in St. Paul, Somali Muslims mostly..maybe after the most recent terror attack in Minnesota people are waking up to what is happening over there

I was polled about a week ago but I was not able to determine exactly who the pollster was. Perhaps it was tis poll.

At any rate, I mentioned a week ago that the jihadi/Somali Muslim attack on the mall in St. Cloud might have an impact on the election. Rural MN has been trending GOP for about 20 years now, but has never been enough to overcome the Twin Cities’ liberal biases.

An attack on Minnesota citizens who are living in the non-metro area must have been a jolt to many Minnesota rural folks. The St Cloud Mall is a magnet for all of central Minnesota. A terrorist attack so close to home is bound to get attention from the voters.
