St Cloud city is purple, but immediately outside the city limits you will find solid red - full of deplorables. The small towns in Minnesota went for Trump by huge margins. St Cloud is in three counties and all three counties were bright red - meaning the margin of victory for Trump was over 15%.
I used live in Sauk Rapids. Sold advertising for a local radio station.
I didn’t get any of the “cherry” accounts in St. Cloud.
I got the Cold Spring, Rice and Holdingford etc. route.
Real nice people.
