Trump Lands Major Endorsements From Democrat Mayors in Minnesota

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

Hey Biden, Trump is going to kick your a$$ without breaking a sweat.

"...a group there holding up signs for Biden..."

Were the signs homemade or manufactured? If the latter, there's a good chance it's a Union operation.

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

I agree with this. There may be hope. I'm in a Facebook district group (SF Bay Area)--it is finally dawning on them that everything they hate: our district being the 3rd lowest funded, being in "distance learning" forever, no reliable electricity--is the fault of the dems. But will they change their voting patterns, or just buy a generator and start homeschooling? Time will tell.

Same story in WV for the last 40 years. 20 years ago WV went GOP and has not looked back since.

Same here in VT. I just did a deep dive of some of the more “blue” parts of the state. I saw exactly one Biden sign among the literally hundreds of Trump signs banners and flags. He won’t win the state because of Burlington but there’s lots of support out there.

Minnesota’s Iron Range is the equivalent to West Virginia’s coal mines. The areas have been traditionally strong Democrat areas. WV flipped in 2016. Minnesota will flip in 2020.

I just hope we can elect Jason Lewis to the US Senate by replacing the Planned Parenthood idiot, Tina Smith.

Look. Demoncats are just plain STUPID.

I mean. Look. Pelosi ? Mad max. ? Sciff. For brains ? Schmucky Schumer ? These people are utter morons
...................................................
Of course they are, and isn’t it astonishing how many people in this country are oblivious to that and will continue to vote for them? It’s unbelievable!

Too late to pull the plug on Biden.
.........................................
Pull the plug on Plugs before it’s too late, because people need to get focused on just one fact: a vote for Plugs is actually a vote for “Heels Up” Harris as the first woman POTUS! Take it to the bank!

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

Exactly. I thought she was actually embarrassing. WAY, WAY too much of a drama queen! Stick her back in the box!

Her speech probably works well with a cheering crowd. It did not work at all without a crowd.

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.
.............................................
Two points: (1) in 2016 17 of Maryland’s 23 counties voted for DJT. Unfortunately the state is plagued by an army of flaming liberals in Baltimore, the State House, and in the counties surrounding D.C. And (2) if you want to see Trump support in Maryland come to the mountains where you will see many hundreds of flags and signs all over Allegany and Garrett Counties, but almost NO signs for Plugs. And I suspect the same is true on the Eastern Shore, although I’ve not been over there recently to verify that.

I’ve been warning people for several decades to NEVER support any organization or institution that runs on tax-supported funding. Almost all such organizations are actually liberal/socialist/Democrat run enemies of free enterprise, i.e., they’re ANTI-AMERICAN TO THE CORE!

Yeah, we live in a strange world these days.

President Trump delivers Conservatives their dream wish list promised by decades of fake, lying conservative Republicans but never followed though with and they hate and oppose him so badly they stab him in the back at every chance

President Trump delivers business leaders and investors their professed dream agenda on taxes, regulatory reform, trade policy and Chinese abuses of American IP and they hate and oppose him

President Trump delivers to Blacks and minorities reforms promised and dangled in front of them by Democrats for decades but never followed through on. It’s amazing how Democrats can milk a divisive issue for a generation with little to show except for generating anger and resentment that has negative consequences on the lives of people.

Makes you wonder what is really going on in Washington
