Interesting if true.
If they only played for the Vikings.
If he has won over the inbred union mine workers of the Iron Range then he has won the state.
Big.
Bigly big.
Two or three of the mayors were at the Pence rally in Duluth this afternoon. They read the statement signed by 6 mayors. This was a good event. I hope Trump comes to Minnesota again.
Sounds like a take-no-prisoners Right Winger. Real looker, too.
Sleepy Joe’s going to MN cuz it’s now a battleground state.
These aren’t failed, washed up politicians like the loser pubs getting wall to wall on CNN, are these active mayors?
Saw on FOX Slo Jo will be campaigning there in the next few weeks...shouldn’t he have Minnesota locked up?
He’s toast there and he knows it.
“The radical environmental movement has dragged the Democratic Party so far to the left that they can no longer claim to be our advocates of the working man,” Vlaisavljevich said.More, and the video of his speech here:“We lost thousands of jobs, we lost a generation of young people who had to move out of the area to find a livelihood. And worst of all, we lost hope,” Vlaisavljevich said.
Vlaisavljevich framed Donald Trump as a “straight-talking New Yorker” who kept his campaign promises and championed blue-collar workers.
“Four years later, the Iron Range is roaring back to life and we have one man to thank: President Donald Trump,” Vlaisavljevich said.
He called U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal, a climate-change focused congressional proposal, a “job-killing disgrace, dreamt up by people who don’t live in the real world.”
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.
Not many live in those parts.
The Iron Range is a life long Dem stronghold mostly made up with old school Union thinking.
When counting the votes, it was always Minneapolis and Iron Range which seemed to always bring the votes to the Dems.
Interestesting....
Having lived for two years in Minneapolis, this is a big deal. Most of the state is a sea of red with two blue spots. Those are Minneapolis which has a lot of your typical well educated upper middle class white collar liberals and the Iron Range which is and has long been a union stronghold. Trump made serious inroads with the latter last time and almost flipped the state. If he completes the switch of labor from Democrat to Republican its very questionable whether Minneapolis alone can outvote the rest of the state.
Minneapolis has 2 million and Minnesota has 5 million people. Florida has Miami and Georgia has Atlanta which both lean left but the rest of those states outvote them consistently. Minnesota may well go the same way.
McCain’s former staff are deeply saddened...
Democrat astrongholds, you say?
Well, well, well...
Sleep tight, Joe.
Pleasant dreams, Nancy.

In 2000 it was West Virginia that moved from the Democrat column to the GOP. Without it Bush loses. In 2016 it was Wisconsin which had not voted GOP since the Reagan 49 state sweep in ‘84. The GOP has not carried Minnesota since Nixon did it in ‘72.
But this year Trump sweeps not just Minnesota but the entire upper Midwest!
His MASSIVE COATTAILS drag enough marginal GOP candidates across the finish line to hold the Senate and take back the House.
Tune to CNN and MS-DNC to see the long faces and furious comments.
If we flip Minn. it is over!
