I think the people closest to the anarchy, violence and mayhem excused and even encouraged by Democrats throughout 2020 are thinking twice about where to place their vote.
I thought that in 2020:
Hennepin County (Minneapolis)
Biden 533K, Trump 206K
Clinton 429K, Trump 192K
Obama 424K, Romney 240K
Obama 421K, McCain 231K
I’m sure that extra 104k for Biden was completely honest.
Keith Ellison the Democrat in trouble in the AG race running worse than other Dems.
The police unions are probably leading the charge here considering Ellison was up to his neck in cop prosecutions after George Floyd died.
They ballyhoo all these polls showing Republicans down two or three.
It’s an indirect way of pimping the Democrats as ten feet tall and invincible.
If a country can’t get angry about the Democrat wrecking ball of the last two years, it doesn’t deserve to exist.
Polls are not made equal. Three polling organizations have good reputations for honesty, methodology, and proven reliable results. Trafalgar Group is one of the three.
