... well, it was Walter Mondale’s home state.

Trump will win Minnesota this time around. Hell, he damn near got it in 2016.

Reagan got within 3000 votes of winning Minnesota and a 50 state sweep. I took a college statistics class from a prof who worked for his pollster Richard Wirthlin.

She said a couple more visits would have done it. Reagan knew this but felt it was more important to help candidates down ballot who needed his support. On election eve, they took Air Force one back to California to wait out results the next day. He decided to plan a refueling stop in Rochester, Minnesota to give a final speech, just in time for the 10 pm news in the region.

A massive crowd showed up at the airport even with near zero advance notice. That's how close he came to sweeping 50.

That’s because of Mondale. Trump could.

It looks like someone took the programmable GPS off of their farm harvestor and put it on a snow plow. Or maybe they just took their tiller tractor out on the ice?

In the last 22 Presidential elections, Minnesota has gone Republican only 3 times—in 1952 and 1956 for Eisenhower, and in 1972 for Nixon.
