FiveThirtyEight: You’d Better Believe Trump Can Win Minnesota

538 buys a clue. We’ve been saying that since the 2016 election.

Like Washington in 1776, Trump has the countryside, like the British...Biden has the cities, and the Battle of Yorktown is coming up next for all the marbles.

[ICE-FLYER]

I am starting to think NY is in play too.

There are at least 15 Trump signs/flags in my Minnesota neighborhood and only one Biden sign that says “Vote For Creepy Uncle Joe”. This is my Trump display.

Yet polls show President Trump gaining ground in Minnesota, and Democrats are worried because they haven’t seen any appearances by Biden or his running mate Kamala Harris. “Why aren’t they here?” one Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party official told Minnesota Public Radio last week. “We need to hear from them. We need to see their presence on the ground.”

Biden may not be physically up to the task to visit MN and many other states. Trump is going to run him into the ground. As for Kamala, that ho isn't the type to visit a Lutheran Church for pot luck night with lutefisk and hotpots. Talk about culture shock. She does not fit in the upper mid-west.

Blacks did not turn out for Hillary because (wait for this amazingly brilliant analysis :-) )....Hillary was not black.

Biden has the same problem... :-)

. In fact, Minnesota’s Democratic Party isn’t called the Democratic Party at all — it is the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, reflecting its historical growth out of those two constituencies.

538 sh!ts the bed on political history, it's called that cause the MN democrats merged with the separate Farmer-Labor party in 1944. Farmer-Labor had been the main leftist party in the state after their founding in 1918, the democrats were weak and came in third for Governor in every election from 1918 until the merger (expect in 1936 when they didn't even run a candidate).

RE: Blacks did not turn out for Hillary because (wait for this amazingly brilliant analysis :-) )....Hillary was not black.

But he has a “Black” running mate. Will that help? (since we are all about race instead of competence now ).

You forgot to put an opening ‘<’ tag on your img HTML.

I’ve noticed Nate Silver and the crew over at Fivethirtyeight are being a lot more cautious this time after being relentlessly mocked for giving Hillary a 71% chance of winning on election day 2016. The only thing the meter says at their website now is “Joe Biden - Slight Favorite”. They apparently have done away with percentages entirely.

Ed Morrissey has a sad.

RE: Ed Morrissey has a sad.

He resides in Minnesota if I’m not mistaken.

Kamala is one eighth black and her father is from Jamaica and she is married to a white guy and as attorney general of CA threw lots of black folks in jail for drug offenses—hardly the “black vote getter” ideal candidate...

[dfwgator]

a and she is married to a white guy

Not just a white guy, but a Joooooo!

[poconopundit]

Can’t believe the home of the Minnesota Vikings doesn’t feel an affinity with Trump.

And didn’t Bret Farve recently play a round of golf with Trump?

Mail-in voting will be the WILDCARD. Remember how AlFranken ( in my view ) stole the Senate elections from Norm Coleman. Coleman was leading until Franken was able to “discover” hundreds more votes in his favor. Franken won by a mere 225 votes. It was ruled that 4,800 absentee ballots were wrongly rejected and should be counted.

Were those the ones 'found' in the trunk of a car?

Earlier in the month, they gave Biden the same exact percentage of 71, though this number does change.

[Trillian]

He would have won there last time if there wasn’t so much voter fraud.
