//’s not over until Trump puts his hand on the Bible on November 8th.

Try Jan 20
It would be nice, but I don’t see MN flipping unless there is a 40+ state blowout. It’s been 44 years (not 50) since MN went R (Nixon over McGovern in 1972).
The governorship and both statehouses are now D, and the Secy of State (who used to run ACORN in MN before it was shut down by the feds) is not enforcing the voting laws. The D canvassers are handing absentee ballots like candy to the Somalis immigrants in ‘Little Mogadishu’ (Cedar/Riverside), and no one in a position of authority is willing to say how many immigrants are even in the state.
Do NOT divert resources to traditional blue states at this late date. The campaign already has its path to 270. If MN is going to go for Trump it will be because of what's going on nationally and what the hard working folks in Minnesota are doing on the ground, not because of any last minute heroics.
Better to be blown out in Minnesota than to loose Florida by a whisker.
It's the Old Bag vs the Alpha Male.
Amazing stuff! Thanks...some of these close states have to break his way.. should be a 300 EV victory
Yeah, I know. :-)
Yeah, I know. :-)
I have a feeling that white democrats are fed up, and going Trump.
As others have noted, it doesn’t pay to spend resources in MN. If it goes Trump, fine. But the Dems have too much opportunity for vote fraud.
more likely an unfortunate incident with the broom stick.
I live in SW WI. The La Crosse media is in the tank Dem, yet there are zero HRC signs and I have seen 1 bumper sticker from a campaign worker/activist. A lot of downticket D signs for Feingold and Schilling (State legislature) and a commie running for judge. A few Trump signs. Hillary For Prison signs outnumber HRC for POTUS by a wide margin.
Lots of Bernie signs/supporters who will sit it out/write in Bernie/vote Johnson or Stein. Voiced hatred for Hillary.
It’s urban vs rural, IMO. Also, the lines are drawn and hardened. Lots of radicals have moved into the country/small towns and everything is polarized. On our side, there are still large extended families, while the newcomers are single, small nuclear families and sometimes, the leftist black sheep of an established conservative family come home to escape the cities.
Not being considered: former hard-line leftists have just come into their inheritances and are gobsmacked at the size of the government’s cut. I hear outspoken worries about taxes from people who never paid any until now, even if the parents had a family trust in a leftist state. A few leftwing business owners edge to the right after realizing the percentage that goes to regulatory takings. They sign the front of the checks. The grant-supported *businesses* still support the Ds.
Trump doesn’t need to campaign more here because IA and MN do influence Western WI. They are just across the river and the demographics are the same.
Man, I wish! I keep thinking of all the harm Obama can do during those two months.
Minnesota was the one state that Reagan did not carry in his 1984 49 state landslide.
As you said, if true, this election will be another landslide.
January 20
It’s my birthday so every 4 years I either want to celebrate or drown my sorrows in a bottle of whiskey
Excellent news, I look forward to other polls of the state.
