I do not know why the Twin Cities would stay with Shillary. My sis works in St. Paul and has always been a Republican. But she says that a high-speed train was built between Illinois and the Twin Cities and the gang bangers are riding it into Minneapolis all the time.
The cities are no longer safe and people are fearful of shopping and restaurants in downtown.
The huge population of Swedish and Lutheran has always been liberal but now the state is enjoying Barky’s radical sons.
Your sister in misinformed. There is no high speed service anywhere in America outside the Northeast Corridor (Boston-Washington).
The only train from Illinois to the Twin Cities is Amtrak's daily Empire Builder, which stops at St. Paul on its way from Chicago to Seattle. It's most certainly not high speed.
There is a light rail (trolley) line that serves St. Paul and Minneapolis, but it's not high speed either.
