So it is looking like Minnesota, the most socialist state in the Midwest wants to support little Rubio. Not surprised but disappointed that they have been blinded to the light.

Rubio up 9 points on Cruz with 79% of the vote in, one has to think Rubio is in the driver’s seat on this and will win.

No, Minnesota will vote for whoever the DFL puts on the top of the ballot. Minnesota Republicans will split between the religious right (Cruz) and the Chamber of Commerce (Rubio). Trump does not have a natural constituency here. He is NOT Minnesota Nice. Minnesota does not have much tolerance for rude people.

Also, Minnesota did not suffer as much during the recession or under Obama as some other states, so we don’t have quite as much visceral anger. I think Trump was wise to give it a pass.

My concern is if Trump gets the nomination how many house and senate seats will be lost and will we lose the the Minnesota House too.

I really hope people will remember how important it is to vote the rest of the ballot, even if you pass on the top.
