If President Trump and his “Deplorables” were to start a new party, it could at least go Cheeto Orange.
... along with a good portion of the rest of the country!
Now many of us “know the rest of the story” Thank you for providing all of us on FR with these insights. I knew Bradlee was a jerk but you just added more evidence.
I knew Reagan was going to win in a landslide. I was walking
District 21 in Fargo, N.D. most Democratic in the state outside the two Indian reservations. And saw almost no Carter signs but many Reagan ones. Almost everyone I spoke with supported Reagan-and that was 1980. In 1984 it was even a bigger blowout.
A bunch of high schools across the state had held a mock election as part of their social studies classes in the weeks leading up to the election. More than 75,000 high school students cast votes across the state, and Trump beat Clinton in that vote. The advisor figured that this must correlate pretty closely to what the parents of these kids were thinking, so they knew the state would be much closer than expected on Election Day.
But our whites are the most sanctimonious, auto-flagellating whites in the entire blessed country.
I would love to see Minnesota go red, and Connecticut, too. I hope they both will...
MN is the voter fraud model for Democrats nationwide.
By report (but I can’t say with certainty), the Reagan campaign knew that it was within striking distance of Minnesota, and a 50-state blowout. There was a proposal within the campaign organization to send President Reagan to the state, to try to tip it. The proposal was stopped by the only person who could stop it—President Reagan. He knew that he was going to humiliate Vice President Mondale anyway, so he decided to back off Mondale’s home state. Reagan didn’t throw the state, but he didn’t really contest it, either. His position was roughly “Let him win his own state. I’ll settle for the rest.”
In Minnesota, state wide, a Republican needs 54% to 55% of the real vote to overcome all the dead voters and multiple voting Democrats. They also bus in motor voters from other states (motor voter).
The Real Sample Polling Company has proven that the dead vote Democrat 100% of the time.
Voter ID isn't a panacea, but it would help.
Yes, I remember reading about scenario also.
I did forget that. Thanks for re-education.
I was in Minneapolis in October of 1992 and I still can’t get over the VAST number of Clinton sign EVERYWHERE. Musta been a world record.
And History lesson.
If they have clean voter rolls they will.
Bachmann under-performed and was nearly ousted from the most Republican district in the state (running 6 points behind Romney in 2012), she’d be a poor statewide candidate.
I believe Trump was robbed of the state’s electoral votes last year and will carry the state in 2020.But we need strong candidates to have any chance in these Senate races. Really need to win Governor and some other statewides too.
Congressional district 1 is open and is a top takeover opportunity, was stolen by the rat last year as Trump romped in the district.
Trump made the late Minneapolis campaign appearance at least partly because much of western Wisconsin is in the Twin Cities media market. Western Wisconsin furnished most of Trump’s victory margin in Wisconsin.
A Minnesota blitz would include St. Cloud, Duluth and Rochester.
You are welcome.
Yup. 16 years in Minnesota.
Then we took our Yankee money and moved south.
