Collin Peterson is a Democrat who represents the 7th District in Minnesota. In 2016 Trump won that district by an astonishing 35 points. If the GOP can’t win that one, then the state party should consider disbanding.
I don’t disagree.
Peterson’s last few races have been getting closer and closer.
But to his credit, he’s really good at constituent relations and in general being out in the district. He also throws out a few votes each years to not make him look so liberal.
I wish some of our GOP reps were as good at constituent relations as a number of the red state Dems are. How do we think Tom Daschle survived as long as he did in a heavy red state like South Dakota? yeah, he talked out of both sides of his mouth - but he paid attention to everything in the state.
But truth be told, when Peterson retires, that seat flips GOP with no contest. I just hope he gives it up in 2020.
