It makes absolutely no sense.
Jeff is a good candidate who is becoming stronger. He is surrounded by Trumplicans and I think that's a great sign.
I think Jeff can win and will win most of the out state counties. He needs to pick off some precincts in the Minneapolis/STP to win. Walz won't win in out state. We'll tie him to the libs in a big way.
“It makes absolutely no sense.”
Yeah it actually does make sense.
The people who are most pissed are the party activists who like to be schmoozed by the candidates. Pawlenty didn’t do that.
Yes, he said bad things about Trump. I don’t agree with that.
What Pawlenty had was name recognition (not all of it bad) and money. He did have volunteers too. I saw them out during the primary.
Walz will do better than expected - especially in southern Minnesota. He represents a good chunk of that area in Congress. Southern Minnesota is an area where Walz could easily undercut Johnson.
My choice, whether people like it or not, was based on practicalities. I decided that Pawlenty, for all of his issues, gave the GOP at least a chance at winning the Governors office. Based on his past performances, I remain unconvinced he can.
Having said that, I’d very much like to proven wrong in November.
