Just as a rising tide can lift all boats, a roaring tsunami can sink even the largest ships. In this case 3 huge blue-painted ships named Governor Walz, Governor Whitmer, and Governor Evers.
The coming Red tsunami is putting races that in normal times would be out of reach for Republicans in play. That sure seems to be the case here in Middle America.
MINNESOTA
What caught my eye this morning was the buzz around the governor’s race in my own state, Minnesota. Here in Minnesota, Republicans have gotten extremely good at losing statewide offices–It has been 18 years since a Republican won a statewide office, and longer than that since a gubernatorial candidate succeeded in winning without significant assistance from a left-leaning third party candidate taking votes away from the Democrat.
Our Republican political establishment is so used to losing that sometimes it seems they don’t even try to win. They whinge, they complain about candidate quality, they believe everybody to the right of John McCain is too conservative.
Minnesota is a terrible place to be a conservative. The only reason I stay here is for the weather. The deadly winters, the sticky summer heat, the muddy springs. They call to me.
Republicans are competitive in legislative races, so the money tends to flow there. As long as the Republicans can slow down the Democrat destruction of our state with legislative majorities in at least one house of the legislature our Republican establishment is happy. So they tend to abandon our statewide candidates immediately, blaming them for being losers.
Yet Scott Jensen, who was neither the favorite of the Establishment nor of many conservatives, has managed to steadily rise in the polls despite being ridiculously outspent and being the subject of an endless number of attack ads

Please please MI retire the lying control freak with the dead eyes.
All fingers and toes crossed (and I’ve donated to Republicans in GA, PA, NV and AZ).
Election night 2016 was one of the greatest nights of my life. Watching those smug commie announcers choke as Trump carried state after state was priceless. Hoping that we’ll see similar type results roll in this election.
Maybe. Who’s doing the countin’?
The DEMs control the big cities across the country. You guess.
Best advice I saw was to show up on election day. If everyone does it, then it’s much harder to calculate the steal.
“I know next to nothing about Tim Michels, so I can’t say whether he is an amazing candidate, but in 2022 do you really have to? A vulnerable Democrat in a tough political environment has a lot to worry about even running against a generic opponent, and a competent campaign should put Michels over the top. It would genuinely surprise me if Michels didn’t win, in a way a Walz victory in Minnesota would not. RCP rates the race a toss up but predicts a Republican pick up.”
Tim Michels is a good, solid candidate. Self-made man, won’t be bought off by special interests. Endorsed by President in Exile Trump, beat RNC favored Rebecca Kleefisch, who, while also a good candidate, doesn’t have the cross-over that Michels will with economically suffering Wisconsin Independents.
Tim Michels KNOWS jobs. And the economy, jobs and inflation are top issues, here.
I’m sure Trump welcomes your observations...
I don’t know about all these polls suddenly shifting to the Republicans. I am very, very leery.
There was a red tsunami in 2020, but it was stolen.
Who are you really?
If the counting is still done by Dem operators, and vote watchers get kicked out of the building again, it’s 2020 again.
The presidential race was stolen. Otherwise Republicans did amazingly well.
The Dems have over two weeks to launch a mega-October Surprise... count on it.
Me too, but I'll believe the red wave when I see it.
“The Dems have over two weeks to launch a mega-October Surprise... count on it.”
Yes I’ve been waiting for that.
Yep. I’m planning to stay up and watch that night....mostly because I’m convinced their beloved Democrats are going to get drubbed and I want to see their propagandists have to eat it.
LOL! Vance is going to crush Ryan. It won’t be close.
