Robert Vlaisavljevich, a lifelong Democrat and mayor of Eveleth, Minnesota, blasted “weak,” “scared,” and “sleepy” Joe Biden (D) for failing to stand up to “radicals like AOC,” instead allowing them to craft his environmental policy like the Green New Deal, which he described as a “job-killing disgrace dreamt up by people who don’t live in the real world.”
“My father and grandfather earned their livings mining the raw materials that made the steel that built America,” he said, stressing that the election is “make or break” for workers who are carrying on the legacy of men like them.
The Iron Range economy, he explained, is vulnerable to economic trends and foreign trade and needs a strong, stern voice in the nation’s capital. Workers long looked to Democrats to “fill that void” because they “actually thought they cared about our welfare.”

The guy wants his favorite chair and to be left alone I’m sure.
Minnesota is in play.
Bad news for the Democrats.
I imagine northern Minnesota should be hard-core Trump country. Eveleth is the site of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.
V. P. Candidate Camel Ferrets can’t pull his ass out of this pit.
I know I’ll get flack, but I say every state is in play.
Even California is such a disaster zone, anything is
possible.
“thought they cared about our welfare”
They all misheard that. What was really said was the democrats really cared so much about them that they should all be ON WELFARE!
Why would he stand up to himself?
Is it possible that in the DNC, for which there is nothing of the old extreme Left that is extreme to them anymore, there are still people who have limits?
Naw ... they just don’t like people knowing what they are. That hurts their election chances. Truth, like light to roaches, sends the DNC scurrying for the shadows of all concealing lies.
“I imagine northern Minnesota should be hard-core Trump country”
You would be surprised.
He’s been in office for nearly 50 years: who is better equipped to fix all the things that have been broken by progressivism in that time?
For years, the workers making a wage, have been sold out by the unions who have gouged a piece of that wage.
Well, I’m not banking on Joe to do something he took a pass
on doing over the last 47 years.
Even their deity Obama couldn’t do it.
Looks like we’re stuck with Trump. Smile...
“””I imagine northern Minnesota should be hard-core Trump country. Eveleth is the site of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.”
The Iron Range is like a separate country. They always vote democrat because they always vote democrat. They have always been hardcore union mine workers and have been told for years to vote democrat. I think President Trump has been able to get through their thick heads and knock some sense into them.
The American part of the state up there is full of good people.
United Mine Workers
United Steel Workers
Democrat Farm and Labor
N. Minnesota is blue.
I was thinking that kamala Harris got the vp spot because the dems have reason to worry about California. It does reach a point where people will be willing to try something different, and Donald Trump is certainly a different kind of Republican. Even a close loss in cal would be the headline in the election results.
I agree with your take on it. Good point on Ferrets...
That was back when the DFL actually represented farmers and workers. Now the democrat party is the party of terrorists: Earth Liberation Front, ISIS, Antifa, BLM, . . .
