On Thursday evening, President Trump will arrive at Minneapolis’s Target Center for his first political rally since House Democrats began an impeachment investigation. Which raises the question: Why Minnesota?
Because Trump thinks he can win there in 2020.
“[That’s a] state that I’m going to win — Minnesota,” Trump told Turning Point USA in July. “I almost won it last time. We came [within] just about a point. Minnesota is very hard work for a Republican to win. We almost won it — one more night. I wanted to go there one more time. I said, ‘I’m telling you, we’re going to win Minnesota.’”
If Trump were to win Minnesota’s 10 electoral votes, it’s almost impossible to see how a Democrat could defeat him next November. And he’s right: Even though the state is “very hard work” for a Republican — no GOP presidential candidate has carried it since 1972, and no Republican, period, has won a statewide race in 13 years — Trump did, in fact, almost upset Hillary Clinton there in 2016, falling short by just 45,000 votes, or 1.5 percentage points.

If it flips Illinois might be in play.
Illinois?
No. Too corrupt.
Couldn’t get an honest ballot count.
Antifa says: “We hope Trump is beatable. But we know his supporters can be beaten.”
“If it flips Illinois might be in play.”
That’s a stretch! And if Illinois is in play, why bother even having an election...
They were just as corrupt (or more so) when Nixon won there in 1972.
His supporters may soon start carrying weapons.
Dems won’t like this article from Yahoo!. It’s sounds like they’ve already dismissed impeachment.
Too many graveyards in Chicago to happen...
Gangsters+graveyards+illegal aliens == Victory for the demoncrats...
I think this is all a game of challenges to Trump. And that state will be a fun and rewarding challenge for him.
I see him as a guy playing one of those shoot-em-up arcade games where the bad guys just come at you more numerous and faster until you’re killed. And he seems to be relishing it.
And we all die.
Have to start deporting some illegal Eepie-opiates to level the field there......
Minnesota may be the test as to whether Dems can be the party of “people of color” and still win a mostly white state.
Win the only state Mondale carried? That would be an amazing feat!
The “anti-war” party will be having a major demonstration. Think they’d give Trump credit for starting to pull out of Syria?
An election strategy Minnesota adopted and perfected many years ago.
Reagan was very well liked in MN in ‘84.
The real estate crash in the late ‘70’s really crippled MN.
In ‘82 the jobs started to come back!
Only Mondale running kept MN from voting for Reagan.
“That’s a stretch! And if Illinois is in play, why bother even having an election...”
So they can count the illegal motor vote and crow about 2 US counties bringing in the popular vote
Unbelievably yahoo did not allow comments on the article.... I wonder why? ( in a sarcastic voice )
It is a big if. He needs a Democrat opponent who can suppress the vote as much as Hillary did last time.
