This first sentance doesn't jibe with the rest of the story. They make it sound like Minnesotans have chosen the presidential winner since 1972, when they have only decided the Democratic nominee. Trump isn't trying to end the streak of them choosing the nominee.Let them choose the far leftist nominee. That will only help the Republicans.
Maybe it’s worded oddly, but what they mean, is that Minnesota has voted Democrat in every presidential general election since Nixon carried the state in 1972.
Minnesota does not require you to declare a party..
operation chaos comes to mind.
No. It did not confuse me and I think it is stated just fine. It states that the state’s voters picked the Dem nominee for the White House since 1972, which is stated perfectly clearly. No where does it state or mislead anyone to think the voters of Minn have chosen the winner since 1972. It states the voters chose the Dem nominee. That means the voters chose Hillary in 2016, Obama in 2008 and 2012, John Kerry in 2004, etc, etc. Not sure why you are confused.
The MN electoral votes have gone to the Democrat since 1972 (chose “picked the Democrat nominee. ) . In 76, 80, 84 MN Mondale was on the ticket. GHWB lost MN in 88 while carrying 40 states and the rest is history .
