BREAKING: 6 mayors in historically Democrat strongholds on the Iron Range of Minnesota announce their support for President Trump. - Team Trump
If true, I have some friends who will be sorely disappointed. One of them has TDS. She has been lamenting the state of things in Minnesota, but I know she will NEVER vote for Trump. Its very sad.
My point is that in a fair election, Trump can win any state...especially Minnesota!
If we flip Minn. it is over!
Consider this: George HW Bush won 60% of the white vote in 1988 and won 40 states. Romney won 60% of the white vote in 2012 and lost. Trump won 54% of the white vote but lost the popular vote but won enough of the white vote in the right states to win the electoral college.
Minnesota should be an easy pick up for Trump this year since he lost it by only 45,000 votes. With the riots in Minneapolis and the support in the Iron Range, Trump should win Minnesota.
But Minnesota is not Cali, NY or IL. Minnesota is much more competitive than the three states mentioned.
Minnesota doesn't have Silicon Valley with its legion of liberal hi tech workers. Minnesota does not have almost a 1,000,000 workers in the entertainment industry that California has. There is nothing close to San Francisco in Minnesota.
As much as you would like it to be, some states are out of reach for a republican to win. Likewise, a democrat won't win Utah or Idaho, either.
If Trump carries the Range, it will be because he supported tariffs on Chinese steel dumping. AND if he carries the Range, the Twin Cities have no hope of carrying Biden over the top. If this is true, Trump has already won Minnesota.
