Trump Lands Major Endorsements From Democrat Mayors in Minnesota
Townhall.com ^ | 8/28/2020 | Katie Pavlich

A number of Democrat mayors from Minnesota endorsed President Donald Trump for a second term on Friday as Vice President Mike Pence campaigns in the state.

"Like many in our region, we have voted for Democrats over many decades. We have watched as our constituents' jobs left not only the Iron Range, but our country. By putting tariffs on our products and supporting bad trade deals, politicians like Joe Biden did nothing to help the working class. We lost thousands of jobs, and generations of young people have left the Iron Range in order to provide for their families with good-paying jobs elsewhere. Today, we don't recognize the Democratic Party. It has been moved so far to the left it can no longer claim to be advocates of the working class. The hard-working Minnesotans that built their lives and supported their families here on the Range have been abandoned by radical Democrats. We didn’t choose to leave the Democratic Party, the party left us," the letter, signed by Virginia Mayor Larry Cuffe, Chisholm Mayor John Champa, Ely Mayor Chuck Novak, Two Harbors Mayor Chris Swanson, Eveleth Mayor Robert Vlaisavljevich and Babbitt Mayor Andrea Zupancich, states.

"Yet, four years ago, something wonderful happened. Donald J. Trump was elected President of the United States, and he stood up to China, implemented tax cuts, and fought for the working class. Now, four years later, the Iron Range is roaring back to life and for the first time in a very long time, locals are hopeful because of this President's policies and willingness to fight for us," the mayors continue. "Lifelong politicians like Joe Biden are out of touch with the working class, out of touch with what the country needs, and out of touch with those of us here on the Iron Range

“New York State could be in play if the thing is pushed. Push the thing...”

I agree, Mr. Lincoln.

I saw about 15-20 people on an overpass on 101 north today in Morgan Hill, with a giant Trump 2020 flag and everyone waving American Flags of all sizes. I see/ have seen a lot of recall petitions for the Grusomator. I’ve been saying if it was not for the insane voter fraud that will occur, Trump could very well win California.

The reality of Trump agressively campaigning and traveling is forcing Biden out of his basement. The sight of him mumbling and bumbling over the next few weeks cannot be hidden and Democrat candidates will more than panic. Suspect there will be a concerted effort among Democrats to get him to withdraw.

Spent the day in super liberal Duluth-just the tourist area around the harbor. Saw no Biden bumper stickers or anything, but there were a few vehicles with Trump flags. I was pleasantly surprised.

Too late to pull the plug on Biden. If they get him out now the Berniebots will really go haywire especially if they put in someone other than him. The RATS are stuck with Biden. My guess is they’ll concentrate all their efforts on winning the Senate and retaining the House. That way they can keep Trump at bay and bide for time again until 2024 when they can put a better presidential candidate on the ballot.

She’s too much of a screamer. I thought her performance was a little over the top.

WOW! Welcome to the Republican Party ...

In the Deep Blue Socialist Peoples Republic of Md i have not seen any Biden signs of any kind. I did see a pickup with a Trump Flag and an older Gentleman with a Trump/Pence Sticker on his hat.

There was a similar display in Rancho Santa Margarita Thursday. Near the Trump merchandise vendor by Lowe’s. Today there was a group there holding up signs for Biden, but there’s been very little visible support but lots for Trump. Not going to predict he’ll win the state but I think he’ll carry the OC this time.

This may be the election that empowers the ever waking Californian Sane Coalition to rise up and overthrow the corrupt lunatics running the asylum in Cali land.

Nothing is working in California anymore and the system is just flat breaking down at an accelerating rate.

Just got back from an extended trip there and just damn.

There are isolated zones of normalcy but it's getting to be like the siege of Khe Sanh for them with the encroaching zombies.

Even the swooning soccer moms are coming to the realization that Gavin Newsome is screwing up THEIR lives by the numbers.

In Cali land, NIMBY trumps ideology every time.
