Trump keeps vowing to win Minnesota in 2020. It’s not as wild as it sounds.

You probably remember that Donald Trump won Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania in 2016. Somewhat lost to history — but not to Trump himself — is the fact that he almost won in deep blue Minnesota as well.

Trump insisted repeatedly on Tuesday that he’ll win Minnesota in 2020, first with a tweet posted in the morning in which he smeared Rep. Ilhan Omar as “America hating.” (Omar is a Somali refugee and one of the first Muslim women in Congress, and also one of the four progressive congresswomen with whom he’s been feuding since he posted loaded tweets asking them to “go back” to other countries.) Trump went on to offer some hyperbole about the state of the economy:

“It’s not as wild as it sounds”

Thanks to Ilhan Omar, it isn’t.

Just watc, the “Trump curse” might well work, and deliver MN’s electoral votes.

Minnesota puzzles me. I know cold weather builds character, but good heavens, what have we here?

Why not a chance?, I know many Minnesotans totally fed up with the Somalis and the crazy liberals screwing up their state. They won’t say Trump in public, but when they are in the voting booth they will mark the ballot for Trump.

Not a chance.

That's what a lot of us thought about Pennsylvania.

Wrong.
2016:
Hillary: 46.4%
Trump: 44.9%

Crooked H won by 1.5%.

If Trump turns 2020 into a MN statewide referendum on Omar, he can close that gap.

“Ronald Reagan didn’t win Minnesota.”

Is Trump running against Walter Mondale or Hubert Humphrey?

What changed in 10 years that it went blue?

Less than ten years, right?

72 to 80.

Forgive me if I screwed that up

Klobuchar would probably hold it but they are not nominating Klobuchar.

They portrayed Reagan as old, senile and dangerous. That didn’t work on Nixon as people remembered him as Ike’s vice president.

At this point in time, unless there is a big turnout of the West African vote in Minnesota Trump will win easily. It will be about cheating in Minnesota. And now you can also tie Omar to it.

1.5% is less than the Democrat vote fraud in a blue state.
