GOOD LET THEM LIE!! It only makes us MADDER, stronger and determined!
If an historically strong Democrat state such as Minnesota is a battleground, this election could become a landslide for Trump. But are these polls real???
I think the last time Minnesota went Republican, was in the Nixon landslide of ‘72.
If MN goes Trump, IL is the only state in the rust belt left that HIllary has a shot at holding IMHO.
I don’t expect MN to flip... but if it does, its full on nightmare scenario for the dems.
If Minnesota is really in play then the landslide that’s coming is bigger than I imagined.
While there are some small college towns with loopy people like similar towns in Iowa or Wisconsin, but most of the rest of the state is not like that.
This indicates that Hillary is slipping.
If she has to struggle for Minnesota as Nate Silver suggests with her only having a 79.4% of willing the state, she is going to lose nationwide like Mondale in 1984.
If Minnesota is in play, I bet more blue states are, too...
A lot of us have said that you’ll be able to trust the polls more the closer we get to the election, simply because the election will verify them. If we see a steady increase in Trump support in the polls it could be used to infer that the earlier polls were manipulated.
We’re being lied to by the Ministry of propaganda
If Hillary is in trouble in MN, she's in serious trouble.
However, "They" are also saying that Georgia is a tossup. If GA doesn't go Trump, then this election is over before it starts.....Hillary wins in a landslide.
I think that "They" are playing with numbers, trying to keep people interested. Especially since Hillary generates zero excitement, and liberals hate Trump.
“If MN goes Trump, IL is the only state in the rust belt left that HIllary has a shot at holding IMHO.”
If Minnesota is in play the PIAPS is in deep trouble.
A nightmare for the demondogs: Trump takes a bunch East Cost states suppose NY falls to him by surprise.
Liberal West Coast voters get discouraged and don’t vote. Could Trump sneak a Washington, Oregon or, Hawaii?
Come on! Even Reagan couldn’t win. Don’t waste your time.
MN has many liberal Lutherans who are Democrat to the core and big boosters of abortion.
That being said, it may cause something Conservatives have been asking for to be implemented .... Namely, some sort of unified election ending time, or a unified announcement time. Would keep the media from playing fast and loose with the election results, think Florida in 2000, where they announced the state BEFORE the polls in the panhandle closed....
If that happens, it would counter a whole lot of election fraud.
But they still have Georgia as a toss-up, too, which is bizarrre.
I expect NJ to likely fall...
NY only falls if we see a huge break for him and the pile on and dejection happens.. IE its obvious that Trump is winning and winning big, then you’ll get band wagon voters and dejection keeping the other side home.
Trumps down about 20 in NY in most polls I’ve seen, even if you assume polls are off by about 5 points that’s still not a likely win, unless you wind up with a massive break away in the next few weeks... Could it happen? Yes.. will it? I don’t know...
I do expect Trump to take most of the Rust belt, with MN and IL being the exceptions.. I also expect Trump to take states like RI, NH, possibly CT and ME as well... NJ I think is his most likely “big” state to get in the North East... NY just seems at the moment too far out of reach short of major breaks.
Again I don’t know if these MN polls are accurate, but if Hillary can’t hold the only state Mondale got, and has Franken as its Senator... She’s not even going to get 10 states on election day.
I don’t believe MN is in play. A state that has such a solid democratic history will not change its stripes, considering Trump is now slipping backwards in most polls. If all the polls are wrong as some say on this site, then this poll must be wrong and the race probably is not that close in MN.
But you forget one important thing. Minnesota was Mondale’s home state, so the whole Reagan didn’t win in argument is invalid imo.
Minneapolis is Bernie town and they really don’t like Hillary.
It is possible if Millennials stay home
