The Minnesota Disaster
Powerline ^ | November 7, 2018 | Scott Johnson

Posted on 11/07/2018 6:12:17 AM PST by C19fan

In Minnesota Republicans experienced electoral disaster that verges on disgrace if it doesn’t get there. We lost both Senate races by wide margins. We lost the governor’s race by a wide margin. Indeed, we lost every constitutional office. We even elected former hate cult and longtime supporter of cop killers Keith Ellison over Republican Doug Wardlow in the contest for attorney general. Ellison was assisted by the fact that his disgraceful views were held in confidence by the reporters at the Star Tribune. Ellison’s 4-point margin over Wardlow, however, made for the narrowest statewide win last night.

This is the only state out of 50 that didn’t vote for Reagan. Why is it a surprise ?

Exactly.

I’m actually very pleased with the results. The democrats are now in control of the house. Let’s see how that goes for them? I suspect the will remove all doubt regarding who they are in the next two years.

God has a plan. We don’t always get everything we want all at once. It needs to happen in phases.

MN didn't vote for Reagan in 1984 because they supported native son, Walter Mondale, by just a tiny margin.

Reagan could have won MN had he campaigned there. IIRC, many advisors wanted him to campaign in MN to become the only president in history to win all 50 states, but he declined, not wanting to embarrass Mondale by taking his home state.

America has changed so much since 1984. The nation of my youth is gone forever.

I’m in Michigan and this the only post that’s made me feel a little better. My new tag line, “well, we’re not Minnesota”!

Honestly, I watched Trump’s rally there and the Senate girl, when he called her up, said, “You really don’t stick to the script”. Spoke for 30 seconds and got off the stage. she didn’t run as a Trump person. Not sure about the rest but I did take note of that particular exchange.

MN has returned to its roots. They talk funny because they are funny. Funny as in weird, strange, and stupidly arrogant. They maintain a cultural addiction to communism that is historic. Minnesota is not red, white, and blue.

No!! It is a disaster to invite anyone from a blue state into your red state. The virus must be isolated.

The Scandinavian Mafia in MN is going to march them into a powerless State ruled by Muslims.

Her brother keeps her for babies and his goat for fun. But one never knows, he could use his goat for both purposes.

But it is one more success for the Democrat Party. But when your claim to fame is the murdering of innocent children both inside and outside of their mother’s womb, the sky’s is the limit for degeneracy and perversion.

“What ever Farrakahan Ellison does to Minnesota they deserve it.”

When you think of “union goon-led states, New Jersey tops most lists, but in the number two slot I think Minnesota deserves to be placed.

From Colorado ... I feel you pain.

Starting to work on an exit strategy. Florida, Texas and possibly Wy are in consideration.

The GOP in Minnesota was their own worst enemy. The Senate candidate running against Klobushar never ran an ad.. apparently the GOP just gave up on the seat. Most of the other candidates were milk toast and got caught up in a blitz of attack adds. They also tried to distance themselves from Trump. The state is already a mess and I expect worse ...like caravans of illegals when the state is declared a sanctuary and even higher taxes.
